What part of town are you wanting to be in after

This is important

No budget and somewhere just in the general Br vicinity. The location doesnt matter for later plans, really. I mean obviously not plank road vicinity, though, just to add lol.
Im open to suggestions.

Good lawd, some of yall make this shite so complicated. Just answer the question…. A good date spot in BR for appetizers. It’s not like BR is huge, suggest a place that you know and let the OP check it out and decide, it’s not that specific.

As already mentioned, these come to mind:
BLDG 5
Bin 77
Cocha

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone. Really appreciate it. Gonna check out Bin 77 this time. I'll update on how it goes!
