For the waves here, Badfish has a board for and every kind of Paddling and surfing. Whether it be prone, sup surf, or river running boards! 

After a long day of surfing or paddling, you’ll be hungry and may be thirsty for a cold pint. Mudlick TapHouse is a paddler/adventurer friendly brew pub with delicious food.

5th street brew pub is another great option. Little farther from the river but away from the crowds of downtown in a quiet neighborhood, usually plenty of parking, great beer and delicious food menu. Roasted red pepper soup with 3 cheese grilled cheese is awesome after a cold surf!

Another good option is Dayton Beer Co with a huge tap list, tons of outdoor seating, and 2nd street pizza is in the basement!
