Fayette County • October 31, 2025
Good morning, Fayette County. The age-old question of whether kids belong in adult-oriented establishments has gone national, with Eastside Brewing Company's 7pm child curfew making headlines in the New York Post. The Reynoldsburg brewery's stance that they've "created an environment that appeals to adults" has struck a chord nationwide, with surprisingly strong support from parents who agree that not every space needs to be family-friendly.
Meanwhile, local opportunities to give back are multiplying as the holiday season approaches. Second Chance's annual Dinner of Hope returns November 22 with Italian cuisine and Nashville entertainment, alongside an impressive 85-item auction. And for breakfast enthusiasts, there's exciting news on the horizon—Waffle House is expanding its 24/7 comfort food empire with a new Gahanna location, bringing those beloved smothered hashbrowns even closer to Central Ohio residents.

🍺 Ohio brewery bans kids after 7pm, sparking national debate. Eastside Brewing Company in Reynoldsburg made headlines in the New York Post and Fox News for their controversial policy restricting children in the evening hours. The brewery defended their decision stating, "We manufacture alcohol" and have "created an environment that appeals to adults." Despite facing criticism with some customers calling the owner names, the policy received overwhelming support from commenters nationwide. Many supporters, including parents themselves, agreed with the sentiment that bars are adult spaces not designed for children.
🍽️ Hope is on the menu at Second Chance's annual fundraiser. The eighth annual Dinner of Hope will take place November 22 at the Fayette County Fairgrounds, featuring a $25 Italian dinner and live music by Nashville artist Sean Poole. An online auction with over 85 items runs the same day to support Second Chance's community services. Additional fundraising opportunities include raffles for a $4,000 storage shed, Cincinnati Zoo tickets, and a Christmas tree with gift cards.
