This joint’s name is seriously on point. The chandelier-adorned, purple-lit, velvet booth-strewn outpost is dreamy enough to put even the most Tinder-jaded in a romantic mood. Add a couple of their drinks, like the espresso martini-inspired The Full Salute, alongside some East Coast Oysters and their exceptionable cheese plate, and you are sure to feel the charm even more. For those who want to go full-on heart-eyes-emoji, try the Old School Old Fashioned, a mix of Old Forester Bourbon, cherry-coffee bitters, and demerara, finished with a soft display of smoke that plays like a love spell on your taste buds.

Sunday Funday reaches monastic-like levels, you can find your ideal fellowship at Downtown’s Higher Ground. The sanctuary-with-a-twist vibe greets you the moment you walk through the door—the downstairs bar is resplendent with stained glass windows, religious icons, and wooden archways sourced from around the world. Head upstairs to find not only a second bar and adorable outdoor patio perfect for post-work drinks in Spring weather, but also a full-on old-school church organ repurposed into a DJ-booth for late-night dance floor worship sessions. And what would a religious-themed bar be without some sinful cocktails? Higher Ground takes this concept literally: Their speciality drinks are named after the infamous seven deadly, including Lust, a crowd-pleasing berry-infused mix of tequila, mezcal, and Absinthe.
