South Park Tavern, located at 1301 Wayne Ave. in Dayton, is reopening on Wednesday, June 14 at 5 p.m., according to a post on its Facebook page.

“We’ve been hard at work remodeling the inside after our pipes froze in January,” the June 12 post stated. “We think you’ll love the new look and can’t wait to see some old faces!”

With the reopening, South Park Tavern has announced a new set of temporary hours. The tavern will be open Wednesday through Monday. Plans are to operate 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and 4 p.m. to midnight (or later) on weekends.

“We plan on opening up again for lunches once we are fully staffed,” the post stated.

The tavern will have open mic on Wednesdays and live music on the weekends.

“We are also changing our Half-Price Mondays to one topping only. We love honoring the half off tradition, but also keeping the lights on,” the post stated.

South Park Tavern, about a mile southeast from downtown Dayton, was purchased by Ryan Carey in February 2017. At that time, Carey told this news outlet, “The plan is to nurture the South Park community and the pizza tavern’s loyal customer base with an embellished live music offering, rejuvenated exterior, and the same great pizza but with a few refreshed menu items.”

Carey purchased South Park Tavern from Bill Daniels, co-founder and president of Dayton’s Original Pizza Factory. Daniels had owned the Tavern since 2007.
