The official grand opening began on Friday, Sept. 10 will conclude next Friday, Sept. 17 with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The bar’s co-owners, husband-and-wife team, Kelsey Calderone and Nathan Omlor, said they wanted to create a place that helped make Dayton feel like home to people moving back to the city and to anyone entirely new to the Miami Valley.

Calderone and Omlor founded Gem City Social Sports in 2017, which eventually blossomed into the idea of starting Two Social. Initially, the couple envisioned a smaller clubhouse, meeting place for the sports league to gather after games. However, the space at 123 E. 3rd St. presented room for more opportunity and greater connections.

“We bring people together, help people meet other people,” Calderone said.

The opening week schedule includes:

-Friday, Sept. 10: Grand opening from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. with chance to win free axe throwing party
