Drinking and good eats would be a huge plus, perhaps with some live music options...I'm not a good gambler.

As far as adventure goes, yes but nothing extreme. Perhaps available activities that might be off the beaten path a bit but not too far from civilization.

I'm not an outdoorsman but enjoy walking/hiking/fishing. Also maybe some historical/architectural type stuff to check out.

You could hit up Memphis & Nashville. Provides good live music options of different genres in both cities, some historical stuff in both places, and a decent food scene.

Chicago has some good blues clubs, food scene is good there. Not sure how open anything is there right now, so if it is a trip in the near future may not be the best idea.

I never did it when I was a younger lad, but have been a couple times now...What about Charleston SC?

Good to great food, bars, fishing, historical location, architecture is amazing as well as the tours. Beach not far away at Folly Island.

How about San Francisco?

Large city with one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, the Golden Gate Bridge. You have Alcatraz that is very historic and interesting. You could align the trip with a Giants home game. You could rent a car and drive south through the Big Sur region of the California coast - or even east to Yosemite. I don't know much about the music and restaurant scene, but I wouldn't think it would be lacking in those areas.

Chicago. Great architecture and sites. Great food. Probably could find some music somewhere (depending on their current state of covid restrictions). If you wanted fishing our outdoor activities, I'm sure something on Lake Michigan could be lined up.

I know you said US but Ireland would be awesome. Rent a car and stay in bed and breakfasts. Spend a day or two in Dublin to check the boxes then head west. Once you get off the beaten path and out of the tourist areas, the locals will talk to you and you can meet some interesting people. Plus, it's beautiful and has plenty of activities. I'm not sure what issues there are with Brexit and covid but Northern Ireland shouldn't be skipped. FYI you can drive across the whole island in just over 3 hours.
