About the venue: A large gastropub rated 4.3 from more than 2,500 reviews, mid-priced, open until midnight Monday to Thursday. Reviewers consistently describe it as unusually spacious for a downtown venue, with a patio and fire pit, and a popular spot to gather before a show — so it has the room and the habit of handling groups.

Getting there: The venue is on Wayne Avenue in downtown Dayton. There is no rail transit, so arrival is by car or rideshare. An AirGarage lot at 602 East 4th Street is a minute away and open 24 hours — but note the venue does not own its parking, and reviewers report both AirGarage citations for signage and plate errors, and a roughly $10 app charge. Pay carefully through the app and check the plate.
