If you're out on a date and want to avoid the hubbub of dance and rock clubs, head to Absinthe. It's also the ideal spot to wait out the inevitable traffic jams following Palladium shows. Comfy couches, moody lighting and a rotating lineup of down-tempo DJs on Fridays and Saturdays and jazz bands on Tuesdays through Thursdays make this a nice spot to chill with company. Plus, thanks to the recent U.S. legalization of the liquor from which the bar takes its name, you can have the bartender impress your date with the ritualized presentation of an absinthe cocktail. Be warned, though, they're almost as strong as they are pricey.
