Unless you own the joint, it’s unwise to suggest a bar or restaurant that’s either impossible to get into or five people deep at the bar. The perfect location for a first date is somewhere conducive to conversation, and hopefully, somewhere you can snag a seat at the bar. Save your special hookups and bells and whistles for date number two or three.
