Wine Bars for a First Date
A wine bar is the right call for a first date for one reason: it lets you stay or leave. Two glasses and you're out in ninety minutes. A bottle and a cheese plate and suddenly it's last call. The room makes the decision for you. These five all do the job — small enough to feel chosen, good enough that you'll want to come back, and forgiving enough that you can talk for three hours and nobody will look at the table.
