Ambiance is very important when you're considering a place to spend a night with friends. The Tumbleweed Connection located at 454 East Fifth Street in Dayton’s Oregon District definitely has a rustic, fun atmosphere, interesting decor and just the right ambiance to make for a fabulous night out. I absolutely loved the gated patio, and overhead balcony overlooking 5th street. An added bonus is the upstairs bar. In the summer it is open and in the winter it is closed in and heated so smokers don’t have to freeze.
The service was excellent. All the bartenders did a great job and kept us laughing and having a great time the entire night. The drinks were competitively priced and very well made. No watered down drinks here! The food is great. Unfortunately, the kitchen is only open till 3 PM. The menu is a nice assortment of the kinds of foods you'd expect to find in a bar/grille. The burgers and steaks are particularly good. On Sundays when the weather is nice you can stop by for free food grilled on the patio. Throughout the week there is a variety of live music. I just happened to stop in on their open mike night where a welcoming host keeps the local talent revolving so you enjoy a variety of music. I ended up staying until closing because I was having that much fun!
The entire establishment was very clean, including the restrooms. The only thing that puzzled me about the Tumbleweed Connection was the odd little stuffed animal above the men's room door. What exactly is a Jackelope anyway? Hmm... I'll definitely have to go back and ponder that one a bit more. But then, any excuse to go back and visit "The Weed" as it is affectionately called, is good enough for me. This is a must go to place in Dayton's Oregon District
