Fox and Hound in Beavercreek has a UK alumni group that meet during the games.
I’m in Dayton and lived in Beavercreek for 6.5 years about a half mile from Fox and Hound and used to spend 3-4 nights a week there during college sports season. It’s a very good place to watch games. Extensive beer selection and usually some attractive bartenders/servers and a lot of TVs. Also, I’ve heard of these famed alumni association gatherings to watch games but I’ve only seen them there 2-3 times (maybe just didn’t hint our schedules). With Beavercreek the problem is that it’s a decent drive down 675 to get to Centerville so you likely would need to Uber or not drink much.

The problem that I’ve always encountered watching UK games in this area is that being in the location in Ohio, most places will overdue showing teams like OSU, Cincy, UD, Xavier etc and it’s often times difficult to get a good watching situation. I’ve never found anywhere that priorititizes a UK game. I haven’t spent too much time in centerville though so you may have more luck.

Odds are you will have a few UK fans in your neighborhood as well. I live just outside Centerville and you can throw a rock in any direction and hit a car with a UK decal.


We are off 48, on the north end of Springboro, just on the Centerville line. Easier to get into Centerville than Springboro.

I’m sorry you are moving to Ohio. The first thing I would just assume is that there will be 5x more terrible drivers and every one of them are going to have a big O on their vehicle. There can’t be many left up there during summer months because they are all down here at the GD lake

Don’t do it. Ohio sucks so bad. Terrible.
OP will love Ohio. Especially southwest Ohio. So much to do. Short drive to Amusement parks, concert venues, a ton of great restaurants and steakhouses. Kings Island, Skyline chili, LaRosa’s, Graeters, Montgomery Inn, Jeff Ruby steakhouses, etc... The list goes on and on. You will enjoy it there OP!

And be prepared to encounter a multitude of UK haters that live there. You'll get to here how great Ohio State and UC at the same time that UK is trashed.

I live in southern ohigh and see uk banners displayed more than osu, uc or x.
Fans of ohio teams are weak sauce, in this area anyway.
Lots of uk fans, but lots of haters too.

I'm in Dayton. All of my main friends are UK fans. I see UK fans randomly all the time. Fox & Hound is the correct answer, though.

But honestly, you could go almost anywhere and be around UK fans during game day.

Plenty of Cat fans between Dayton and the Ohio River. I often see someone with a Kentucky shirt or cap, when I'm out. (a "Go Big Blue" usually turns into 10 minutes of conversation)

Note: When you get settled from the move and have spare time between UK games, make sure you take the family to the Air Force Museum. Incredible... and free!

Stuck in an apartment (corporate housing) in Centerville while we’re building in Springboro. Looks like it will be January/February before we get to our permanent location. Have plenty of time now-will check it out this weekend.

Move to SW Ohio over 20 years ago and love it (excluding the events downtown earlier this morning).Lots of UK fans in SW Ohio who proudly wear there Blue. Native Ohioans like to think they are taking shots at some of our neighbors to the north in Hamilton,by calling it Hamiltucky. But I like to think these people are just good people who moved a little north of God's country.
