Today’s episode is a little different and is much more of a review and list of some great date day/night locations in and around Dayton, starting with the Teapot Cafe Lounge in Dayton, which just had its grand opening yesterday on Valentine’s Day.

The Teapot Cafe Lounge bills itself as Ohio’s first infused coffee shop lounge, and you can get infused drinks, edibles, and smokeables there. All of them were really good and I definitely recommend checking the place out! Their website (www.teapotcafelounge.com) is still under construction, but you can find them on Facebook at https://teapotcafelounge.com/.

After that we headed over to West Social Tap and Table and got some lumpia from Lumpia Queen. It’s definitely one of our favorite spots to go to get something to eat, especially if we’re both in the mood for different things. There’s a great bar in the center of it as well and you can stop in the National Aviation Historic Park across the street if you’re wanting to make it an educational date. Visit https://westsocialtapandtable.com/ to find hours and vendor information. 

Next up was Nails on Brown for a pedicure, and it’s just hands down one of our favorite places to go to get one. They do a great job and you don’t feel rushed or nickel and dimed when you visit. 10/10 would recommend! Visit https://www.nailsonbrown.com/ and book your appointment ahead of time.

After that we visited Tokyo Grill Sushi Bar and Hibachi Buffet, and it was all delicious. There are a couple of locations in the area, but I would venture to guess that all are really good. 

Finally, we ended the night at the Monkey Bar and Grill, and the story behind the name alone is worth the visit. Definitely check it out sometime, and I would recommend doing it in the spring or summer when you can sit outside and admire the view of the river.
