The space on Linden Avenue east of Woodman Drive previously housed Smokin’ Aces Bar & Grill, a restaurant, bar and music venue which opened in early 2015, and before that, it was the Filling Station Sports Bar & Grill.
When the property’s owner, Dr. Suresh Gupta, outlined his plans for the Filling Station Sports Bar & Grill in February 2014, he said, “Our goal is to open the biggest sports bar in Dayton.”
Montgomery County records show a 6,000-square-foot tavern/bar and a 24,000-square-foot outbuilding. A previous sports bar also had a 5,000-square-foot outdoor patio.
