A second Dayton-area Beef O’Brady’s operated for 10 years at 953 S. Main St. in Centerville until its franchise agreement expired in 2014, and its then-owner transitioned into an independent sports bar.
The Beavercreek location is owned and operated by franchisee Bill DeFries.
The Tampa-based Beef ‘O’ Brady’s chain operates more than 220 pubs in the U.S.
