November 30, 2024 By Dayton937 Leave a Comment

Frickers Centerville View Over the Wings

Dayton has some loyal football fans.  As festival season winds down, the College and Pro football season is heating up.  The Dayton area has some fantastic spots to watch football, whether you love Ohio State or Bowling Green, or if you love the Bengals or the Browns.  No matter what team you root for, we have found the best spots to watch football in the Miami Valley and we ranked the top 22 in order.

Food Adventures used the following criteria to pick the best:  We considered who had the best TV’s, best food, best drinks, and best value.

Without further delay, we give you …..

Inside Buffalo Wild Wings at Town n Country Shopping Center

THE TOP 20 PLACES TO EAT and WATCH FOOTBALL

 

FRICKERS – CENTERVILLE:
The energy of the Centerville location is great.  The TV’s, the atmosphere and the good food make this our #1 spot to watch your favorite football team.  The wings and burgers do not disappoint, especially if you get the wings well done. The wing sauces are stellar too.  Nachos, and Clam Chowder are menu items that will knock your socks off.  Lots of cheers, and jeers in this fun crowd.  They usually have any game you want to see.  You will see lots of people showing their team spirit, and many wearing team jerseys.  The TV situation is plentiful and crystal clear.  Beer prices and selection add to the number 1 rating.  Good luck to your team!
1383 Miamisburg Centerville Rd, Dayton, OH 45459

Roosters on 741

BUFFALO WILD WINGS (BW3) – TOWN N COUNTRY SHOPPING CENTER KETTERING:
Great wings, sauces and salads here.  They have lots of good appetizers to choose from.  The Town and Country location has possibly the best TV situation in the city.  You have a ton of big HD TV’s on hand and any game your heart desires is typically available.  Beer specials can make you happy, as will the beer choice.  We love the menu, but the only drawback is this place is a little expensive foodwise.  However, you couldn’t ask for a better viewing atmosphere.  Great sound too!!
They also have a private room in back you can reserve and throw your own football party!
262 E Stroop Rd, Kettering, OH 45429

 

Hooters Miller Lane Dining Area

ROOSTERS – on 741:
This location on Springboro Pike puts the other Roosters to shame.  Newly remodeled, it is a football lovers paradise.  It is like a big arena with brand new TV’s everywhere.  The sound is good as well.  Lets talk wings… they have some of the best, and the sauces are fantastic.  Great salads and a decent sandwich selection makes it a blast.  Pizza, fried pickles, and tater tots are 3 menu items that shine as well.
9400 N Springboro Pike, Miamisburg, OH 45342

HOOTERS – MILLER LANE:
A tremendous spot to watch your favorite game and a menu that is remarkable.  The smoked wings here are nothing short of amazing, as are their breaded wings.  Lots of seafood choices and the tater tot appetizers are must eats.  Strangely they have the best sweet tea in town too.  Their beer list is simple and they usually have deals on pitchers.  Service is fun and friendly, and the TV situation is pretty good.  The food here is the star and you will leave happy whether your team won of not. Between the wings, and the shrimp and the appetizers, your tummy will be satisfied.
6851 Miller Ln, Dayton, OH 45414

 

SUBMARINE HOUSE – CENTERVILLE LOCATION:

Inside Buckin Donkey


This fantastic location to watch sports, is broken into 2 areas.  The bar area, and the dining area.  Both rooms are filled with High Def TV’s, but we prefer the dining room for long game visits.  The beer list is exceptional, including local drafts.  Food choices are delicious.  You have the trademark Super Duper Cheesesteak, Dayton’s best philly sub, and dubbed “16 inches of heaven.”  Their pizzas are tasty too, especially the cheesesteak pizza.  Other loved menu items include the oven toasted deli subs.  This is a top notch place to catch for favorite football team.
503 Miamisburg Centerville Rd, Washington Township, OH 45459

 

BARGOS GRILL and TAP – CENTERVILLE:

Inside Bennetts Publical- just one area


The most comfortable bar to sit at and spread out and watch some games.  The dining room is nice too, and if the weather  permits, it is the only place we know of with huge TV’s at the patio bar.  The menu highlights are chicken tenders which are a level hotter than we are used to.  The pizzas and sandwiches shine here as well.
588 Miamisburg Centerville Rd, Centerville, OH 45459

 

BENNETT’S PUBLICAL FAMILY SPORTS GRILL – MIAMISBURG:
Little known spot that is underrated,but getting some notoriety.  Their menu is terrific.  From soups and steaks to wings and fish dinners, the kitchen does not disappoint.  The place has a nice bar area and TV’s throughout the dining room.  The patio is nice too,although no TV sets outside.  Stop in for some comfort food and friendly football fans.  Service is always on point.
67 S Main St, Miamisburg, OH 45342

Cheering our team at Milano’s Subs

 

MILANO’S PIZZA and SUBS – BEAVERCREEK:
The Beavercreek location is a great atmosphere for football.  It seems more sports fans flock to this location, and more families dine in the others.  Lots of beer choices, lots of HD TV’s, lots of pizza and of course the Atlantic City Submarine Sandwiches that are their calling card.  Nothing funnier than a fan trying to cheer on their team with a  mouthful of an Italian sub.  Service is usually great here as well.
2260 N Fairfield Rd, Beavercreek, OH 45431

 

ARCHER’S TAVERN– KETTERING LOCATION:

Archers Kettering


A place you wouldn’t think of for football, but we love this choice.  The indoor patio has a couple of premium seats that work out fabulous.  There is also a big table area near the fireplace that is perfect for football on a cold day.  Thirsty? You are at the right place.  Archer’s beer selection is magnificent and the food is great and economical.  Try the chili, the sweet n sexy wings and the sticky burger.  These are the menu stars, as well as the Margherita Pizza.  You will be happy you came to the Kettering location for the game.
2030 E Dorothy Ln, Kettering, OH 45420

 

Bunkers Bacon Cheeseburger

BUNKERS BAR & GRILL – VANDALIA:
Another place with a cult following.  The open dining area is filled with TV’s.  One TV set has a revolving list of beers on tap.  This is a beer swillin, wing eating sports bar.  Known for their wings and burgers,you have to try the Bacon Cheeseburger. Lots of appetizers to choose from too. It is some good sports pub food, and the service is speedy.  Definitely someplace to hit if you are a football lover.
893 E National Rd, Vandalia, OH 45377

 

LOCK 27 BREWING – CENTERVILLE LOCATION:

At Lock 27 for the game


A secrets spot to watch football games.  Park yourself at the bar and the huge TV’s are in plain view. You also have some of the best local beer at your fingertips.  A private TV like experience and some of the best brews and food around.  What more could you ask for.  No one thinks to go watch football here and thats why its such a gem.  Friendly staff and owners complete the experience.
1035 S Main St, Centerville, OH 45458 

 

HINDERS SPORTS BAR– TIPP CITY:
This place has a cult following.  The TV situation is not the greatest,but they make up for it with some of the best wings around.  The butt warmer wings are a legend in the Dayton area and a must eat.  They have also been known for burgers and sandwiches since 1989
902 W Main St, Tipp City, OH 45371

Inside Hinders

WINGS SPORTS BAR and GRILLE – BEAVERCREEK:
Little known place in Beavercreek by the closed Lofino’s grocery store in Beavercreek Valley Shopping Center.  A nice, open dining room and big bar area, lend itself to a room full of new TV sets.  The result is a football lovers paradise with all the games around the restaurant.  Good draft specials and incredible wings are the big attractions here.  This spot is a gem and is quickly gaining a following.  They have a nice menu, with lots of sports bar fare.  Another great menu item are their Southwestern Egg Rolls.  Check this sort of secret place out sometime soon!
3347 Seajay Dr, Beavercreek, OH 45430

This place has quite the Cult following in Miamisburg.  From the covered patio to the indoor bar and dining room, this is a great place for wings, beer and football.  The menu even has a great salmon salad.  The TV situation is good, and this place can get busy and noisy.  Warmer weather showcases one of the most fun patios in the area.  Great sliders too !

The Woman in Black Nov 29- Dec 15

November 25, 2024 By Dayton937

THE WOMAN IN BLACK is a 1987 stage play, adapted by Stephen Mallatratt. The play is based on the 1983 book of the same name by English author Susan Hill. Arthur Kipps, an attorney, is sent to handle the estate of the deceased Mrs. Drablow. He makes the trip to her funeral in a bleak and lonely part of England, where all of his enquiries into the details of her estate and her family are met with silence. At the funeral, Kipps alone observes a strange young, ghastly‐looking woman dressed in black. The next morning, Kipps is taken to Mrs. Drablow’s eerie Eel Marsh house. The house is reached by way of a narrow causeway that is passable only during low tide. As Kipps investigates the house and the surrounding property, he again sees the woman in black, but is unable to follow her. His apprehension and fear grow. As he cautiously explores the inside of the house, he uncovers a large number of documents and information he must sift through in order to settle Mrs. Drablow’s affairs. His efforts reveal secrets and unexplainable events. Who is this woman in black? Why are the townspeople so hesitant to answer his questions? What happens to haunt Kipps years later? As Kipps and an actor he hires to help tell his story, struggle to tell it all and exorcise both their demons, we learn the chilling answer to these questions ‐‐ and more.

Many of those that will be open will be offering limited options, not their entire menu.  We’ll keep adding to this post as we hear from more restaurants!

Monetary donations are encouraged and will benefit our mission of eliminating hunger. Chicken and vegetarian options will both be available. Water is provided, but specialty drinks will cost extra.

Local Filmmaker has Multiple Film Projects Ahead

November 20, 2024 By Dayton937

Jacob Stuart is collaborating with Dougie Brimson (CEO of Red Bus Movies, Green Street, We Still Kill the Old Way) to bring the true story of Roy Larner to the screen. Known as the “Lion of London Bridge,” Larner famously shouted “F**k you! I’m Millwall!” as he single-handedly fought off three terrorists during the 2017 Borough Market attack.

Actor Leo Gregory (Green Street, Top Dog) is set to portray Larner, with plans for crowdfunding to give the public a stake in this powerful story of resilience and injustice. Roy Larner will serve as a script consultant to ensure the film’s authenticity.

Get involved in supporting the project: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/jayne-jacob-369.

 

Mystery Thriller Daggers Inn Enters Final Stages of Post Production

Stuart, Consulting Producer on Daggers Inn, is thrilled to announce that the film, starring Terry Bamberger (Call the Midwife, The Good Ship Murder), has completed principal photography and is now in post-production. This atmospheric mystery thriller follows an enigmatic young woman determined to uncover the truth behind her sister’s murder in a secluded English village. Produced by Raya Films, Daggers Inn promises a suspense-filled narrative set against an evocative rural backdrop.

The production team is actively seeking finishing funds to complete post-production and bring this gripping story to audiences. The film will be available next year on most major VOD channels. To learn more about how you can support the film, visit https://rayafilms.com/daggersinn

Jacob Stuart is an internationally produced, award-winning screenwriter and producer whose films have featured renowned actors, including two-time award-winner Kevin Spacey, Alan Ruck, Costas Mandylor, Dave Sheridan, and Felissa Rose. As a screenwriter, his projects have included Emmy Award-winner Bill Oberst Jr., with many of his written works available on Tubi, Amazon, and more. Jacob is also the Founder of Screenwriting Staffing, an online community that connects screenwriters with industry buyers and employers. Over the past decade, Jacob has facilitated more than 300 deals, options, writing jobs, and representation agreements.
