wanna chat?

[cynickalone.livejournal.com]

tonight marks the first night i am going on a sorta-date in davis square. it starts at 8, and i'd like to go somewhere that we can grab a drink and chat. also, he has to drive back home outside the city after, so we're only going to get one, and then essentially chat/walk and chat.

any suggestions? i'm sorry if that's horribly explained. basically i'm looking for a)a place to meet/grab a drink and b)something to do/somewhere to go after where i can give him my undivided attention while chatting.

thanks!

EDIT:

if it wasn't clear, we're just getting drinks. una bebida. probably just one. neither will be eating. just talking in a fun/attention-conducive environment.

for example: before posting, i was thinking drinks at orleans and then walking down the bike bath.

EDIT#2

where can i buy a fin du monde (unibroue) at a bar/tavern in davis square?

Go to a live music show at Johnny D's? The only other 'entertainment' option I can think of right in Davis Square is a movie at the Somerville Theatre.

have dinner, then walk along the bike path and do vigilante work kicking the butts of the punks who occasionally mug people.

yes!

I would check out diesel, it's open late, fun funky food options.

They play music but it is not too loud. You order food up front and then find seats, so there is no wait staff to bug you, plus you can get coffee after a long day. When you are done you eave and walk around the square a bit. Maybe hit up JP Licks or Kick Ass Cupcakes for dessert.

oops, they don't do alcohol at Diesel, but it is still a fun place!

Sabur's bar area is not right in Davis, but it's close. It's a lovely place to go for a drink. There's good music in the background that's not too loud, the cocktails are awesome, the atmosphere is nice, and there are nice noshes too. After that, I'd suggest a walk down to Nathan Tufts Park if it's not raining, since it keeps you moving, it's pretty there, and it's not far.

thank you for actually reading my post, lol. i was leaning towards orleans before i posted. it's definitely on my list.

FYI, tonight is trivia night at Orleans. It starts at 8 and fills up fast.

On most nights I would suggest that Starbucks is quieter and less crowded than Diesel. But not on a Wednesday, when Starbucks has open mike night.

Please stop deleting other people's comments.

haha, sheesh. sounds like wednesday nights are not conducive to intimacy in davis, huh?

[cynickalone.livejournal.com]

thank you, that sounds fantastic!

The (Deleted post) above was his own comment to me.

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I love fin du monde offerings.

Yum, fin du monde.... I think that after rehearsal tonight, I'll swing by some place that serves ephemere!

[ellf.livejournal.com]

He also deleted my comment pointing out that he was being a bit short with people, and another poster's comment in a similar vein.

[cynickalone.livejournal.com]

care to share where they serve it? :-D

[cynickalone.livejournal.com]

don't know what you're talking about :-P

[ron_newman]

But what place is that?

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :) I've had dates that involved both of those things separately, and thought they went very well.

[closetalker11.livejournal.com]

Aw, you deleted my comment. I suggested thanking people before fussing at them. I'm not sure what was wrong with that.

[closetalker11.livejournal.com]

Mine, too.

[closetalker11.livejournal.com]

I do.

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

Well, the thing is ...

I'm not sure if the place actually fits within the OP's parameters, so I didn't want to get scolded for not reading the post.

But I know a few places - maybe you & I can grab a beer at one of them.

[ron_newman]

well, even if it's not in Davis, someone else later clicking on 'bars and clubs' might find it of interest.
