Whiskey Bird
A Highland Ave porch hang that somehow always turns into two more rounds
What DatingDex says
Whiskey Bird keeps it unpretentious — Japanese-ish bar snacks, a solid whiskey list, and a covered patio that makes lingering feel natural rather than forced. It's the kind of place where a first date that's going well just... keeps going, without anyone having to suggest it.
Whiskey Bird is one of the top low pressure first date spots in Poncey-Highland. At a moderate price point, it fits well when you want a low pressure first date feel without guesswork.
