ST. PATRICK’S DAY
TIPS FOR​ PROFESSIONALS
1. Make sure you have a safe ride home, use the free cab service provided by Montgomery County Prosecutor Matt Heck ARRIVE SAFE PROGRAM, 937-449-9999. Or make sure you have a designated driver. OR USE UBER!!!!
2. We open at 5:30am, and due to the crowd size, we have streamlined our opening to ensure we can get in as many people in at 5:30am. We will have security at our entrance at 4:30am and they will be doing ID’s, wristbands, & the $15 cover charge, and the 1st 100 people will get a ticket to redeem for a free St. Patrick’s Day T-shirt. Those that get here by 4:30am will have ID’s checked (MUST BE 21), get a hand stamp, and pay $15 cover so that way there should be no wait at 5:30am when we open the doors. The line will form at the entrance in our BIG TENT – and will wrap around the corner of 5th St and Wayne Ave towards Francos.
3. If you don’t want to fight crowds inside the pub, the tent will be fully functional at 5:30am. There will be beer and liquor.
4. The Big tent area will have THREE draft beer trucks (NEW – we added a truck to our outdoor beer garden), a Jameson bar stocked with Jameson and Absolute Vodka Bombs and cocktails, a small bar upstairs on the deck as well as one in the covered patio, pudding shots, two food areas selling hamburgers, hot dogs, Guinness Brats, Pub Fries, chicken tenders and Fish & chips. There will also be a merchandise area and two ATM’s (one located at main tent entrance on Wayne Ave and another by the food vending area under the big tent. All sales under the tents are cash except the Jameson Bar, Merchandise and Food locations which will accept credit cards – in other words, just the beer trucks and door are taking cash.
5. Our Facebook page and website has our full itinerary.WWW.DUBPUB.COM.
6. Inside the pub you will find our full service restaurant serving our limited menu, but with all the Irish favorites. There will be live music inside starting at 7am, but Celtic Rock will be playing all day long inside. We have an ATM as well inside, so for those keeping score at home, we have three ATM’s overall on site.
7. There is no GREEN BEER on site, so please don’t ask – we are an authentic Irish Pub and we pride ourselves in our Guinness & Jameson. If you want Green Beer, we suggest you enroll in Miami University – today. Here is a link for enrollment:http://www.miami.muohio.edu/admission/admission/index.html
8. If you don’t like crowds, basically, St. Patrick’s Day may not be for you, but if you look for the best time to come and participate in the revelry, we recommend either when we open, late morning or early afternoon. You will still have Guinness & Jameson, you will still see Irish Step Dancing, and you will hear amazing Irish music. The 5:30am spot is a sight to see, and only for the TRUE PROFESSIONALS. Late night will be busy, and the show is amazing, and the people are the best St. Patrick’s Day revelers in the world!!!
9. There will be TWO FREE shuttle buses. The first is going back and forth from The Dublin Pub to Flanagan’s and It will run every 30 minute and will start at 10am starting at the top of the hour from Dublin Pub and running every thirty minutes. The second runs from Harrigans starting at 10am and runs from Harrigans, to Dublin Pub and you can pick it up at the top of the hour at Harrigans. They both end at 11pm.
10. The tent will do last call at 12:15 and completely closed by 1. The Pub, however will be open inside with live music from White Knuckle Weekend.
11. PARKING: Great question!! Where do you park? There are streets all around the pub that offer on street free parking. We recommend HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC CHURCH. You may have to give a small donation to park there, but it is right across the street from the pub, and you will be supporting Dayton’s oldest Catholic church.

Alabama-bred and Nashville-based, comedian, actress, and content creator Danae Hays represents a fresh, new female voice in the comedy, acting, and music worlds. Her cast of zany southern characters and parody country music songs have pushed her to the top of the Spotify and Apple Music charts, earning her a cumulative following of more than 3.6 million followers and nearly 2 billion views.
Danae’s debut country/comedy single “Rode Hard” peaked at No. 5 on the Country Global iTunes Charts, No. 8 on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales, No. 22 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales, and No. 34 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists.
Earlier this year, Danae wrapped her debut comedy tour, which sold out in minutes. The tour has been extended through the end of the year and transitioned into theaters.
True to her multi-hyphenate nature, Danae’s passion for acting landed her a role in Mother Nature And The Doomsday Prepper (which she just returned from filming in the spring of 2024) and Summer Camp. Additionally, Danae has co- and guest starred alongside many of the most notable names in entertainment including Diane Keaton, Kathy Bates, Alfre Woodard, Tanya Christiansen and Josh Peck.

A Zachary Armstrong Curatorial Project
2025-03-15 | The Contemporary Dayton, 25 W. Fourth St., Dayton, OH, 45402, United States
Intricate. Intimate. From the heart. The Co presents the reveal of a new project by Zachary Armstrong—an enigmatic force whose work features the ritualistic repetition of symbols and motifs rooted in recollections of his childhood and family, of people and places, of rural Midwest Americana. While the details remain under wraps, we promise a love letter to technical innovation, imagination and memory as a means of connecting. Armstrong lives and works in Dayton, Ohio. Recent solo exhibitions include GNYP Gallery, Antwerp, Belgium (2023); Tilton Gallery, New York, NY (2022, 2018, 2016); Faurschou Foundation, New York, NY/Beijing, China (2022, 2021); and The Contemporary, Dayton, OH (2021); among others.

Susan B. Byrnes: Lightness and Weight
2025-03-15 | The Contemporary Dayton, 25 W. Fourth St., Dayton, OH, 45402, United States
A groundbreaking exploration of the paradoxes inherent in the human experience drawing from themes in Milan Kundera’s novel, “The Unbearable Lightness of Being,” Lightness & Weight will feature three new sound and sculptural installations that explore the complexities and dualities of the human condition. The exhibition will include a variety of non-traditional materials including cast iron, tulle, artificial hair, glass, smoke, video, and sound. Byrnes, a sculptor and audio producer who most often uses her work to challenge and reflect on the burdens of sexism and the resilience of the female body, will launch a companion podcast series featuring interviews with women artists across various media and backgrounds. Created through a new partnership between The Co and WYSO 91.3 FM, the flagship National Public Radio (NPR) member station for the region, the podcast will provide an important platform for female voices in the arts, fostering dialogue and community engagement. Byrnes is a Cincinnati-based visual artist whose diverse body of work spans sculpture, multimedia installation, radio broadcasts, writing, and curatorial projects. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the Midwest, including the Korean Cultural Center of Chicago, the Dayton Art Institute, and the Weston Gallery, Cincinnati.
