6) Durkin’s Liquor Bar
If I were going out on first dates again, I would absolutely visit Durkin’s Liquor Bar. Durkin’s is becoming one of my favorite places to go out with friends, and I know more than one person who’s gone here for new dates, too! Durkin’s is swanky, cool, located downtown, and so unique.
Also, did you know there’s a downstairs bar? If your date doesn’t know about it yet, show off your cool cred by heading downstairs for even more (and different!) cocktails. The Durkin’s menu isn’t necessarily the most vegetarian-friendly menu, which is why I personally recommend it for catch up or shorter dates, but it’s still a good menu (and really, just go for the drinks alone!).

The Gilded Unicorn is a unique, quirky and very cool place for a romantic dinner date. To the rustic and charming setting to the incredible drinks, the Gilded Unicorn is the perfect date idea if you love a unique atmosphere and cool drinks.
