We're the venue for free spirits, by free spirits...

That means we have the blank space that you get to bring to life with your vision...whatever it is!

With our neutral decor, you can go with any color palette and it looks amazing! This is also a great example of what colored LED lighting looks like added to our ceiling swag option.

Friday night in the SideDoor calls for something a little different. 🎻

We're thrilled to welcome Jake Speed and The Freddies to The Brightside on Friday, June 5! This Cincinnati-based crew plays a rich mix of traditional and original folk, country blues, and ragtime — built out of guitar, mandolin, fiddle, tenor guitar, and upright bass, with hints of harmonica, kazoo, and washboard along the way.

Often called the Woody Guthrie of Cincinnati, Jake Speed writes songs that tell great stories with a real lyrical edge — timely and timeless all at once. CityBeat has called the band a fixture of Cincinnati's traditional folk scene, and they've been at it since their first album, Queen City Rag, back in 2002.

📍 The Brightside SideDoor, 905 E 3rd St, Dayton
🚪 Doors 6:30 PM | 🎶 Show 7–9 PM
🎟️ Tickets: https://tickets.venuepilot.com/e/jake-speed-the-freddies-2026-06-05-the-brightside-music-event-venue-dayton-dbcdd3

Grab a friend and come settle in for a night of storytelling and string-band charm. See you there! 🌟

Thanks to all the storytellers and patrons who joined us for Story Slam Dayton!

We had 10 amazing tellers last night that shared stories the good works of Graceworks Lutheran Services, SICSA Pet Adoption and Wellness Center, Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley, Bethany Village, St. Vincent de Paul Society, Dayton, Ohio, Clothes That Work, Have A Gay Day, CARE House, hanging basketball nets around town and giving grace to those in need!

Our winner was Suzzy Nandrasy (pictured bottom center) who earned $690 for Graceworks Lutheran Services from ticket revenue and donations from cookies baked by Patti King. Not pictured Michael Knote and Josh Plandowski.
