Top 10 First Date Bars in the U.S.


There's no rain check on a first date. If the Windy City weather doesn't cooperate, you can still enjoy a fine "get-to-know-you" at C-View, the sophisticated rooftop bar on the 29th floor of the Affinia Chicago Hotel. Gaze at the city's skylines from the open terrace, or hunker down and cozy up in the more intimate lounge indoor seating area. If the fog rolls in, this hip scenic destination offers plenty of people-watching as an alternative. Savor signature cocktails and light fare high above ChiTown, courtesy of top toque Marcus Samuelsson, or venture down to the chef's C-House "fish and chops" restaurant for an extended evening meal. At either place, you can present your date with bite-sized desserts from The Candy Bar menu accompanied by the words, "Sweets for the sweet?"
