The opening comes less than two weeks after Dayton.com confirmed with Denver Williams, a zoning specialist with the city of Dayton, that a building permit was under review by the city’s building division for plans to re-establish occupancy. The permit has since been “finaled.”
According to the commercial building permit, the applicant, Austin Smith (Mandj Inc.), desired to reestablish occupancy of the two-story building. The project description of the permit states the kitchen will not be used.
The bar said they will be in a soft open status for the next couple of weeks.
NextDoor is working on getting the top patio bar up and running for this summer.
The space previously housed Tumbleweed Connection, a fixture in the Oregon District for over 40 years. The space sat empty for nearly a year after the former bar owners said they had been locked out of the establishment on social media.
NextDoor will be open 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily. For more information, visit the bar’s Facebook or Instagram pages (@NextDoorDayton).
