It’s a great place to catch a game on the big screen if your coupledom happens to include a friendly sports rivalry.
Plus, dance the night away at DJ’s SkyLounge or the City Tavern. You’ll want to keep your eyes and attention on your date, though, so allow yourself to make those smooth moves by drinking responsibly and in moderation. For 21+ adults only 21+.
