Billie Gold Bubble Tea to open lounge in Dayton
All I have to say is what a vibe! I took a sneak peek inside Billie Gold Bubble Tea’s brick-and-mortar space at 732 Watervliet Ave. in Dayton’s Belmont neighborhood.
The lounge is opening at 11 a.m. Thursday, April 20.
From lamp shades and plants hanging from the ceiling to booths wrapped in pink reflective tape, the Billie Gold Bubble Tea Lounge is the perfect place to take an Instagram-worthy photo and grab a bubble tea. My favorite drink is the 937 Lemonade featuring blueberry lemonade and popping strawberry boba. I can’t wait to explore more of the menu at this location!
Owner Nicole Cornett told me she first opened as a food truck in October 2018. She explained when she first started there were no bubble tea shops in Dayton.

New rooftop restaurant, bar to open in downtown Dayton
The Foundry, a new rooftop restaurant and bar serving chef-driven, gastropub cuisine from a wood fire oven, is opening soon atop the AC Hotel in downtown Dayton, according to a press release from the restaurant.
The restaurant sits on the seventh floor of the hotel at 124 Madison St. and has views overlooking Day Air Ballpark.
Guests can expect a wide variety of elevated wood oven dishes and seasonal cuisines touched by fire. Selections range from pizzas and burgers to small plates and starters.
In addition to promising an Instagram-worthy menu and views, the drinks will join in the fun. The restaurant says the bar program will feature an extensive cocktail menu with a focus on bourbons and premium liquors from Asia, Europe and South America. The cocktails will feature fun garnishes like baseball-shaped ice cubes and edible glitter.
The restaurant does not have an exact opening date at this time. In March, when the hotel first opened, officials said the restaurant was expected to follow in April or May.
Speakeasy Miso holds soft opening in Troy
Speakeasy Miso, a new ramen restaurant in Troy, is holding a soft bar opening with sake, beer, wine, cocktails and izakaya-style snacks.
General manager Lauren Stites told me she decided to start off by opening the bar because of staffing. She explained it was easy to train the bar staff on classic, speakeasy cocktails and sake.
As the training progresses, the izakaya (meaning Japanese brew pub)-style snacks will rotate. Stites said offerings last week included edamame, seaweed salad, dumplings and spicy tuna.
Stites said she is hopeful to serve additional food options in the next three weeks. The plan is to start small with a few ramens as staff knowledge builds.
In the future, customers can expect a full menu with ramen, udon and sushi. Stites said the 4,060-square-foot space has a larger kitchen than its sister restaurant, Speakeasy Ramen in Springfield.
Speakeasy Miso, located at 101 W. Main St., is open 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For a sneak peek inside the restaurant, click here.
