We made it to Dayton Friday night. We tried to get in to the Pine Club. But they didn't take reservations and they told us that there was a 45 minute wait. So we went to the Fifth Street Pub.
We both liked the beers we got, but the food got a mixed review. I had a turkey wrap that was fine. My friend picked something different. It was a bed of rice, carrots, and peppers covered in beef, then a spinach-artichoke dip, then covered in Parmesan. He found it bland, which he blamed on the dip.
Then we went to Warped Wing brewery. Wow a very interesting place. A fairly large crowd. There seemed to be a couple of groups having a Halloween party, strange costumes. We both liked the beers and the vibe. I had CreepShow and an Oatmeal Stout. I liked them both a lot. My buddy had a Saison, that he also would recommend. The menu was not very impressive, I did buy a jar of their mustard.
After the game on Saturday, we got back to Dayton about 8:45. We thought we would give Carillon Brewing a try. We used our GPS and couldn't find the place. We finally gave them a call and was told they close at 10. Since it was 9:25, we decided to go back to Warped Wing. Closing at 10 surprised us.
The person who answered the phone at Carillon commented that her GPS had trouble too.
