You’d be an April Fool to miss these bar best bets

DAYTON — It’s no April Fool’s joke. These bar best bets are actually happening this Thursday, right here in Dayton.

Rum and Reggae

It will definitely be heating up inside Club Vex this Thursday when the sounds of Positive Vibration from Washington, DC and Dayton’s Good Over Evil International Sound Consortium turn up the reggae vibes. Drink specials include $2.50 Red Stripe beer and $3.50 Appleton Rum. Get there early for some authentic Jamaican food including jerk chicken.

• Where: Club Vex, 101 S. St. Clair St., Dayton
• When: 9 p.m. Thursday, April 1
• The bite: For cover charge info, call (937) 222-7620.

Trivia and karaoke at Taggart’s

Lots of places do live trivia, and tons of bars have karaoke night, but not many have both in one uber-night. Taggart’s is hosting both every Thursday and throwing in - here’s the kicker! - a free nacho bar during trivia. As if you need more incentive, drink specials include $2 Miller Lite or Coors Light bottles.

• Where: Taggart’s Pub, 970 Patterson Rd., Dayton
• When: Every Thursday, trivia from 7 p.m. to around 10 p.m., karaoke starting around 10 p.m. to close.
• The bite: No cover charge

Saving Abel

Just back from a USO trip entertaining our troops, alternative rock band Saving Abel will be swinging by McGuffy’s House of Rock on April 1. Known for the hits “Addicted,” “18 Days” and “Drowning (Face Down)” off their self-titled debut album, Saving Abel is scheduled to release its sophomore album this summer. Maybe you’ll get a sneak preview of some new songs at McGuffy’s. Opening acts are State Your Cause and Taddy Porter.

• Where: McGuffy’s House of Rock, 5418 Burkhardt Road, Dayton
• When: 7 p.m. Thursday, April 1
• The bite: $20 in advance, $22 day of the show. Tickets can be purchased at www.mcguffys.net. 18 and up with proper ID.
