“Part curated bottle shop, part cozy wine bar, Austeria Wine Boutique keeps things interesting with build-your-own wine flights, by-the-glass pours, and charcuterie that begs for one more sip. Open a bottle to share or snag something new for the week, then thank yourself for finally branching out.”

“Crooked Handle Brewing Co. Piqua pours locally brewed beers and backs them up with good food, no compromises, plus easy online ordering when the couch wins.”

“Since 1948, Johnnie's Tavern has kept things simple and tasty, from its iconic Super Burger, steaks, and legit fried seafood to a laid back bar vibe that feels like your buddy’s basement. Grab a spot on the patio by the fire pits, enjoy the outdoor kitchen, then let the football-season cornhole trash talk commence.”
