What to do on date night or not to do

I knew date night was coming for which I was excited at the thought of exploring our new town. I checked out their local events publication; The Buzz, in it, it spoke of quite a few music venues. As I was perusing it, I came across two that seemed, key word seemed like they could be good. We first went to this place called Billy O's, normally me and Ben prefer hole in the wall bars. The people are usually more friendly and down to earth. Upon Driving up, the area was a bit questionable but we kept our minds open. We go inside and the place was a complete #%&@ hole. It looked like at point in its life it was a seedy strip club with vinyl seating, booth style. The vinyl was all split with the innards all coming out. Im not even going to let myself think about the stories those booths could tell if they were able to talk (yuck). The paint if there was any was screaming to be re done. The stage looked like it was made of wooden pallets. Enough about it's appearance, let me tell you about the peeps. Like I said earlier, hole in the wall people are normally friendly, well in this case there was nothing normal about these guys. They all seemed to be angry, not at all friendly they were all sitting around the bar, it's like they were their own drinking club and we we're not invited. I don't know how else to describe this crowd let's just say it was not a fashion show and I think they all could have shared a tooth brush. The worse part is the band wasn't even there and would not be for at least an hour. Feeling as welcome as we did, needless to say we left. Then we head to a Tapas place that states they have Jazz on Friday. We get there and the place is dead. The so called Jazz was one guy playing an acoustic guitar. One drink and we were out. At this point Ben was done and we went home :(. We will try again next Friday.
