I should know this...but I don't.

What's a good bar in Davis Square (or Porter, for that matter) to go to have a glass of wine and talk? Since "talk" is a part of the equation, it can't be too loud a place...

Gargoyles was suggested, but is there someplace less...you know...? I had thought perhaps of Christopher's?
It's a first/blind date thing. Help a girl out, here, please!

primary vote for Orleans

[kayranord.livejournal.com]

Orleans has some nice comfy couches, as well as a decent wine selection. If couches are full, they also have some small (ie: 2 person) tables. The appetizers range in gourmet to satisfying (crab cakes are delish but not filling) if you decide for some lite food.

My second would be Temple Bar. I think their prices are higher than Orleans. Plus a further walk from Train (unless you're not one of the bus-phobes.. the 77 goes right past).

I haven't tried (forgetting the new name) the place in Porter that used to be Metro.

I'd nix Christopher's. Tables are so close together, and I've always gotten the feel that it's a restaurant that has a bar, as opposed to a place to go for just drinks.

Best of luck!!
