LATE JUNE: MUDLICK TAPHOUSE OPENING:
Mudlick Taphouse will take the successful from-scratch menu and impressive list of craft beer and cocktails they developed and perfected at their Germantown location and apply it on a much larger scale in the location they will open at the end of the month at 135 E. Second St. in downtown Dayton.
Mudlick founders Jennifer Dean and Forrest Williams recently wrote on social media: “We don’t think of Mudlick Tap House as ‘ours’…we think of it as ‘OURS’… from our extremely talented culinary team that works every day to deliver their creative, mindfully sourced dishes, our service team who seeks to create a unique experience for every guest that walks through our door, to all of our guests that consider the Tap House amongst one of their favorite places for high-end beer and cocktails with chef-inspired food. We are excited for the next chapter and even more excited to become part of the booming downtown scene!”
With vision like that this will be one to visit sooner rather than later. 135 E. Second St., Dayton www.mudlickdayton.com
