It's no secret that Dayton.com loves its local beer scene. Even better is when a local brewery has incredible food to pair with its great beers, like Lock 27's dry rubbed, house smoked wings served up right with housemade sriracha blue cheese dip. You won't want to share.

    <h1><strong>TOP 11 WING STOPS IN DAYTON</strong></h1>, item 8Photo Source: Facebook

    Hinders is a "no frills" sort of spot up in Tipp City, but we will gladly forego the fine dining to indulge in their wings. Pick between the easy sitters (mild), butt warmers (medium) or our personal fave, the ass kickers (hot). The names don't lie.

    For those of us who live in the Oregon District, it's practically a weekly ritual to stop over at Bob's and order up some bourbon wings. These hand-breaded crispy wings get the sweet treatment in their sauce, and the end product definitely gets all of our taste buds dancing.

    <h1><strong>TOP 11 WING STOPS IN DAYTON</strong></h1>, item 10Photo Source: Facebook


    Yes, Elsa's has the Mexican food angle down, but its nine wing sauces are all on point as well. The everyday eater would go gaga over the sweet Thai sauce wings, but if you're a brave soul (and over 21), challenge yourself with Mike's "I'm On Fire Ready To Die" wings.

    Location: Centerville, Dayton, Kettering

    Hours: Monday to Sunday 11 a.m.-11:30 p.m.
