Beyond Brown A Student Guide to Downtown Dayton Isn’t it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so that we could discover them! —Orville Wright 2 04 – 05 06 Table of Contents Introduction Transportation & Pricing Restaurants Entertainment Culture Parks & Recreation Shopping Seasonal Downtown Dayton Map Thanks Advertisements 07–14 15–21 22–28 29– 32 33– 42 43– 47 48– 49 50 51– 54 3 Introduction Introduction Say there’s nothing to do in downtown… we dare you… Energized by our own experiences and the belief that downtown Dayton has more to offer UD students than realized, the Dayton Civic Scholars have created “Beyond Brown: A Student Guide to Downtown Dayton.” This user friendly guide puts downtown at your fingertips—transportation and pricing, restaurants, entertainment, culture, parks and recreation, shopping, and seasonal events—it’s all there, just Beyond Brown. And who are the Dayton Civic Scholars? As part of the Fitz Center for Leadership in Community, the purpose of the Dayton Civic Scholars is to shape a “Social Science Excellence” identity within the social science disci- plines by creating an intentional pathway from the classroom to community leadership and public service. Notice 4 This informational book is the work of University of Dayton students who are members of the Dayton Civic Scholars, class of 2008. All reviews, information, and pictures are the work of students, unless otherwise noted. Advice, advocacy, and financial support by university and community leaders is greatly appreciated, but this book is the work of student participants who are responsible for all its contents. 5 937.224.1608 Restaurants Transportation & Pricing Transportation Greyhound Transportation Center 111 East Fifth Street • www.greyhound.com Greater Dayton RTA 937.425.8400 $1.25 Fare.

It has the feel of a sports bar with the typical menu consisting of burgers, fries, chili, and wings—to name a few items. TVs are mounted on the walls around the large dining tables, while the other side of the bar has an iTunes jukebox, a few arcade games, a pool table, and a karaoke stage. “After-work karaoke” takes place from 5–9pm on Fridays; Tuesdays have a drink special of $2 margaritas or Coronas. This is a casual and inexpensive place to stop during a day downtown, or would be an attractive venue for a social event for a campus group. 33 South Jefferson Street . www.cbcbdayton.com Monday–Saturday 11:00am –11:00pm, Sunday 12:00pm–12:00am The Dublin Pub 937.224.7822 The Dublin Pub is the most authentic Irish pub in the Miami Valley and a great place to go for a hearty Irish meal, live music, and a professionally poured Guinness! Check the website for the upcoming music schedule. Some pointers for first-timers: as an authentic Irish bar, the Dublin Pub is open seating (no one seats you and there are no reservations), so get there early for dinner on a Friday or Saturday. Service is prompt and helpful. Portions are big and Irish food is heavy, so come hungry! 300 Wayne Avenue . www.dubpub.com 937.222.3227 Known for its wide selection of delicious Thai food, sushi, and extensive drinks, this is a great place to catch dinner if you are going somewhere downtown or just want to get off of campus with family, for a date or a nice roommate night out. You can pick from a scale from 1–9 to choose how spicy you want your food to be. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food (about $10 –15 per plate) and with two stories inside and a balcony outside for seating, it is usually not too crowded. On the weekends, however, we recommend making a reservation. 11 Brown Street . www.thai9restaurant.com Restaurants This traditional Italian restaurant is a great place to take your friends and family when they come to town. Serving all your favorite pasta dishes made from scratch, be sure to try the Chicken Parmigiana or the Incredible 15 Layer Lasagne. And try not to fill up on the bottomless salad or soup so you can enjoy some of the Warehouse Tiramisu. 36 West Fifth Street . www.meatballs.com Sunday–Thursday 5:00pm– 9:30pm, Friday–Saturday 5:00pm–10:00pm Therapy Café 937.222.2337 This is a trendy and modern restaurant/lounge with an interior that boasts a large bar, tables, and couches.
