Where would I grab a cocktail on a Friday in BR, with an hour to burn before 7:30 reservations at Ruth's?

Hayride Scandal is close by and you'll already be dressed for it.

Good suggestion. Could also go to Brakes Bar - not as close but still 10 minutes max away. My favorite place for a pregame nice cocktail

Had some good times at that place in the early to mid 90’s.
My friends dad was a regular there and would let us charge crap to his account after he would get drunk and head home.
Def an interesting place back then

Yeah, if I only had an hour I’d probably do the Ruth’s bar. But from 6:30-7:30 on a Friday night, you might be sipping your drink out in the lobby. Those handful of barstools fill quickly and the rest of the bar area is full service diners.

Tio Javi's (the old Ninfa's) is a couple hundred feet away. They have a nice bar area. Chips and salsa complementary.

Is has been 25 plus years since I made the drive into that complex and visited FVC.

I am guessing things in that apartment community have deteriorated. Is the bar / restaurant still open?

Olive or Twist is also very close and you can take the back way from Perkins through Concord Estates.

Churchills has a new location right around the corner in Citiplace, the old Cove.
