Liberty Collective's Grand Opening: A Big Win for Liberty Township, OH

What made Liberty Collective's ribbon-cutting ceremony such a standout moment for Liberty Township and Butler County?

It wasn’t just a grand opening. It was a moment of transformation for Liberty Township, OH—an exciting introduction to a space built for connection, community, and celebration.

The Energy Was Real: A Day to Remember

On a picture-perfect September day, Liberty Township showed up in full force for the ribbon-cutting of Liberty Collective. As someone who attended, I can confidently say: the weather was ideal, the energy was palpable, and the event could not have gone any better.

Local leaders, business owners, and residents came together to celebrate what feels like the beginning of a new chapter for the area. Yasmen Brown-Jones and Joe Hinson from the West Chester Liberty Chamber Alliance did a phenomenal job hosting and introducing the venue to the community. Their enthusiasm set the tone for the day—welcoming, optimistic, and full of pride.

A Vision Realized

Co-owners Mike and Heather Ewers have been working behind the scenes to bring the Liberty Collective to life, and it’s safe to say that their vision has exceeded expectations.

Located at 6735 Lakota Lane, across from Lakota East High School, the venue sits on more than 3 acres and boasts over 18,000 square feet of indoor space. It features a thoughtfully designed blend of indoor and outdoor environments, making it one of the most versatile entertainment destinations in Liberty Township, OH.

What Makes Liberty Collective Special?

The space is more than a dining or hangout spot—it’s a hub for gathering, playing, celebrating, and simply enjoying life. Here’s what you’ll find inside:

• Six dining and beverage options, including a breakfast bar, ice cream shop, wine & bourbon bar, and a self-pour beer wall with 30 taps

• Expansive patios and green space, with first-floor and second-floor seating

• Game zones like sand volleyball courts (five!), bocce, ping pong, and cornhole

• Live entertainment on one of the largest outdoor LED screens in the region

• Private event areas for everything from birthdays to corporate events

Every corner of the Liberty Collective is built to encourage interaction. Whether you're catching up with friends, letting the kids run free in a safe outdoor area, or just soaking in live music with a drink in hand, it delivers on every front.

Community Impact Beyond the Grand Opening

This isn’t just a new place to eat or grab a drink. Liberty Collective brings jobs, increased foot traffic, and fresh excitement to Liberty Township and the greater Butler County area. It’s a symbol of smart, intentional growth.

Local trustee Todd Minniear called it a "regionally unique" addition, and he's absolutely right. Having a space like this elevates the community's profile and gives people a reason to stay local for entertainment and dining. For current and future residents, it’s an amenity that adds serious value to living in Liberty Township.
