The restaurants and retail shops along Longshore Street in Dublin’s Bridge Park are a frequent destination for Kyle and Alicia McGhee.
The husband and wife live in the Bridge Park development and are familiar with what it has to offer.
But they had a new experience May 20 – the day Dublin launched its pilot Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area in Bridge Park on the east bank of the Scioto River and in the city’s historic district on the west side of the river.
“It’s pretty cool,” said Kyle McGhee, who was enjoying a beer with his wife outside Urban Meyer’s Pint House, 6632 Longshore St, just as the DORA began at 5 p.m.
