About McGuffy's House of Rock

Welcome to the venue page for McGuffy's House of Rock, a storied live music space in the Riverside area of Dayton, Ohio. Known for hosting classic rock legends and modern rock acts, this space has evolved over the years—from McGuffy’s House of Draft to McGuffy’s House of Rock, and later as Oddbody’s Music Room. While the space has undergone changes, the area remains a hub for live rock, with a layout designed to deliver a high-energy night out without unnecessary fuss. Here you’ll find practical details on seating, parking, and getting around, plus trusted hotel and dining options nearby to help you plan a seamless visit.

Note: McGuffy’s closed in 2014 and the site became Oddbody’s Music Room, which faced redevelopment challenges in 2023. Recent reports indicate plans for a new restaurant concept, El Rey Micheladas, at the site. If you’re looking for current show listings or updated venue details, we can connect you with reliable sources and nearby options to keep your night out simple and enjoyable.
