 Best Places To...Bring a Date
  1. Lola Bistro
Lola gets our pick as the #1 place to bring a a date because of their excellent food, comprehensive but reasonable wine list, and great atmosphere that's just casual enough for our tastes. Lola can get kind of quiet when there isn't a band playing, a good thing if you are good at keeping a conversation going, a bad thing if you have nothing to talk about but what's going on around you (a sure sign maybe you shouldn't be worried about another date anyway).
   
  2. Shamrock Jack's
Shamrock Jack's has a little "secret" about it that makes it such a great place for a date. You can reserve, for the two of you, a back room that is big enough for around 6 people and have a nice quiet place to eat with a very comfortable atmosphere. Having this small room to yourself is sure to make your date feel like they are getting some "special treatment", and will no doubt get you off to a good start. The food at Shamrock Jack's is excellent, and there is even a small patio out front with a couple chairs you can relax on after your meal and have a drink.
   
  3. Pearl
Pearl is an upscale bar/restaurant in the East End area that, if your wallet can take the hit, is sure to impress your date. From the minute you walk into Pearl you get the feeling you aren't at your average East End bar. It may not be our choice for one of the top bars to go have a few drinks with the guys, but it is certainly a very nice place to bring a date. The food is excellent, the drinks are first rate, and the atmosphere simply can't be beat. The only reason Pearl didn't top our list is because we don't feel that your average bar-goer would feel comfortable in the ultra-chic atmosphere that fills Pearl. But if you want to surprise your date with some place special that really knocks her off her feet (or him for that matter), we highly recommend Pearl.
