Ned Peppers Bar

Ned Peppers Bar is a bar in Dayton's Oregon District with a tiki bar and a busy calendar of outdoor events. Its main draw is Hauntfest, a Halloween party with live bands, DJs, street performers, food and beer trucks, and a costume contest. The bar also hosts car shows and DJ festivals such as Groove Garden.

Hauntfest tickets are sold in advance online for $10, or $15 at the door on the day of the event, and buying ahead lets guests skip the entry line. The event enforces a strict weapons-free policy, so real or fake weapons are confiscated at the gate. For general questions, the bar takes calls, and anyone interested in applying can fill out an online form. It is on East 5th Street.
