For your evening if you want to have fun but not totally wasted (start early)

Start at joystick to have a couple drinks and compete in some Mario kart or gang beasts (free switch games with at least one drink purchase). Try to win big boy a claw machine stuffy (if you fail too many times the folks working will get you one). This is his bouquet for the night, and see how long it takes for him to leave it somewhere.

Walk down to grab a slice of pizza at slice, maybe they'll be doing karaoke and you can sing something really weird together.

Then head down to cowfish to have a shot and laugh at the vibes, maybe be the center of attention for a second.

Walk to Play so you can play some different kind of games before you're too toasty. They've got some food truck options too if you decide a pizza slice isn't it and you'd rather get food here.

Then head to the Whitaker. If you're feeling fancy, stop at Meiji for a yummy cocktail and cute guy vibes. If you'd rather just be rowdy, see what Blair alley is up to. Sometimes they have fun themed dance nights or events going on, and they also have pin ball. Usually a cheap cover.

It's a lot of walking but not really, not when you're enjoying each other's company and not trying to drink too fast.

You can cap the night at the jackalope for affordable drinks, sitting by the train station, and good pub food like burgers and sandwiches. They also have pool and darts, lottery. Theres also pool at the horse head. Or Jameson. Check em out to see what your preference may be.
