Dayton

Dayton's bar scene centers in part on the historic Oregon District, a Victorian-era neighborhood that's long been one of the city's main entertainment strips, and BarFinder lists 226 venues citywide, led by classic bars and sports bars with a deep bench of pubs, lounges, and breweries behind them. Local spots like Carmichael's Pub and Toxic Brew Company reflect that mix, while Dayton Barrel Works and Rumbleseat Wine add some craft-spirits and wine variety. As the birthplace of aviation and a sizable Ohio city, Dayton's nightlife spans historic neighborhood bars to modern breweries.
