Approximately 2 miles away from both hotels and right next to the University of Dayton. (The Pine Club does not take reservations and is cash only). "An iconic institution of the Dayton community since 1947, The Pine Club is considered one of the great steakhouses in the United States. We cut, age, and meticulously prepare our steaks with an emphasis on unparalleled flavor and quality. Receiving national acclaim, we’re proud of our excellent food, exemplary staff, and timeless atmosphere."

Our ~first date~ spot!! Approximately 2 miles away from both hotels. Gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options available. "We craft our pizzas with the authentic techniques of Neapolitan pizza-making—hand-stretched dough, fresh toppings, and a quick bake in a blazing wood-fired oven—then add a dash of Midwestern charm. That means our pizzas are shareable, the flavors are bold, and you’re likely to get a warm "How ya doin'?" when you walk through the door. It's pizza with Italian roots but raised right here in the Midwest."

Pins Dayton - right next door to the AC Hotel. "Located in downtown Dayton in the Water Street District, across from Day Air Ballpark. Guests are encouraged to bring in food or have it delivered (remember utensils!). However, please refrain from bringing outside beverages, as we offer full-service bars with a diverse range of beer, cocktails, and soft drinks to enhance your experience."

Less than 1 mile away from both hotels. "The Century Bar occupies a historic space with roots tracing to 1942—and a bar presence that dates even further back. Its ambiance invites patrons into a speakeasy-like setting: dark wood furnishings, dim lighting, stained-glass skylights, and a gleaming copper-topped bar evoke an immersive, vintage experience. Home to over 100 varieties of bourbon and 300+ total whiskeys, Century Bar ranks among America’s best bourbon bars."

Cocktails and sushi - Less than 1 mile away from both hotels. "Downtown Dayton's underground Avant Bar. A true midwest destination cocktail bar in downtown Dayton, Ohio. Tender Mercy is not your typical cocktail bar - we celebrate individualism and a classic avant garde sensibility. Find the "Stay Tender" sign and follow us down the stairs to the underground."
