Anyone in a good homebrew club in Dayton? I am currently in Southern CA, but moving to Dayton in May. It would be cool to know of a few fellow brewers before moving.
We're also looking for a heads up on good food. Particularly greek, italian, mexican and sushi!
DRAFT is the regional homebrew club. I've been recruited a few times, but have yet to go. Belmont Party Supply has brew outs each month during the warm enough ones. You can meet plenty of people there.
Good food: Coco's, C'est Tout, Sushi Cafe, Pine Club and plenty more. Check out restaurant week to try local, nonchain spots.
To answer ndsgr
Greek- Chicago Gyros 520 Wilmington, Good Gyros not much other Greek
Lebanese- Cedarland 4515 Linden Ave., Good Falafel, & deserts
Mexican - Taqueria Mixteca East Third st., hands down best authentic Mexican food
Sushi- Akashi 2020 Harshman, BEST sushi I've ever had & by the base.
I did some looking into DRAFT. They seem pretty well set up. I am currently part of 2 clubs. One was really small, but has grown up fast. The second has been around for a long time and is at about 25 members. I'm not sure I want to be part of a club much bigger than that. I'll probably do the 3 meetings free thing to check them out, just to give them a shot. Maybe I'll be surprised, but one of the large clubs where I live now just becomes a party once a month. I'm too old at heart to have keggers.
Is it bad that I think I'm going to miss my homebrew club more than some family that lives nearby?

Greek- I wish there was an amazing Greek place in Dayton. My boyfriend is very Greek and the only amazing Greek we've had besides from (Big Fat) Greek Weddings was in Chicago. I've heard Columbus has some good ones.
Italian- Mamma DiSalvo's is highly regarded. There is a little inexpensive place called Jimmy's Italian Kitchen that's pretty decent as well.
Mexican- I prefer Pepito's myself. They actually have cactus as an entree.
Sushi- Sima is excellent. Saki is pretty great, and they offer HALF OFF sushi on weekdays.
You didn't ask for it, but DO check out Boulevard Haus, Blind Bob's and Christophers. Boulevard Haus is a VERY tasty German restaurant. Blind Bob's is a local rock venue at night and they offer some amazing grub during the day. Pineapple stuffed hamburger, anyone? Lastly Christopher's is little American style family restaurant with a great variety. Worth checking out for sure!

YES Please!
I just started embracing German food after a killer Oktoberfest party at a buddy's house. I never knew my ancestry could actually produce good food. Thanks for the tips!
