Drinks & Nightlife
Elsa's is home to the Bad Juan, the best margarita I've ever tasted. They're so good (and strong!) that the bar staff will only let you have three. Seriously. There are several Elsa's around Dayton, choose one and make sure to call an Uber!

Beautiful, old school bar with exquisite bourbon and whiskey. Also, all of the bartenders have beards. Impressive? I think so.
