Bunkers Sports Bar & Grill (Vandalia) 

There is a good reason this place has been voted the best place to watch the game in Dayton. The bar is literally surrounded by television screens, so there’s no missing a play…unless you get caught up trying to read all of the more than 40 beers on tap that rotate regularly. The menu is chock full of great American bar fare, included their much-heralded wings (also voted Best of Dayton). But you should do yourself a favor and get there early enough (starting at 8 a.m.) for their ginormous breakfast portions.

ADDRESS: 893 E. National Rd., Vandalia

HOURS: 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. (Monday), 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. (Tuesday-Thursday), 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 a.m (Friday), 8 a.m. to 2:30 a.m (Saturday),
