Before the Date…
A few of the quietest parts of our city are full of hidden gems and dens waiting for your arrival. Eagle Rock is no slouch when it comes to this and is ripe for the picking. From local wine joints to under the radar phenomenal restaurants and classic dives that’ll make you laugh and cry at the same time it’s a night you can’t not enjoy.
So prepare your hottest date for a cruise through a sleepy neighborhood wining and dining the night away.

WINE
flights at a local favorite
What to Know
Flights are on Fridays and Sundays at CoWineCo. They also have events/deals every night of the week, most notably the Monday “In Vito Veritas” Storytelling Show.
Beer lovers don’t stress there is beer on tap.
Parking is not a problem, leaving your car here and walking the rest of the date then came back at the end of the night is the way to go.
St0p #2: 8pm
DINE
from a local potter and restauranteur
What to Know
Unfortunately they do not take reservations at this location. Finding a spot shouldn’t be an issue but the larger the crowd the more difficult it may be.
They do close at 9pm. So pay attention to your first stop if times getting away from you.
All the handmade tableware is from The Pottery Studio in Cypress Park and the sme owner of the restaurant. Feelin’ like you’ve got the skills to make your own? You can take a class with them.
St0p #3: 9:15pm
FEELIN’FINE
dessert and live tunes at a legendery spot
What to Know
The bands start at 9pm but there may be some leeway as they put together their equipment.
Take the opportunity to ask the host if you can sit at the tables in the middle section in the front. If any of the booth on the left side are available those are the “expensive seats”.
Desserts are $6 each and having the tray brought to you is as charming as it is old world. The tiramisu hit the spot.
If you’re getting drinks try a martini. They give you the mini shaker with the second half in it. Chin chin!
