HOT NIGHT OUT The sun is setting on the city and it’s time to get sexy. The great thing about Richmond is it’s a place with something for everyone, and if it’s a hot night out on the town you’re after we’ve got you covered. Keep it cool and let us lead this dance. FIRST STOP: Start off by wetting your appetite with a sunset cocktail at the Quirk Hotel rooftop bar. With a South Beach vibe and plenty of personal lounge areas this is sure to set the mood for the night. We suggest starting off with a crisp, clean cocktail such as mojito or ole’ fashioned over an intimate conversation as the sun goes down. SECOND STOP: Take the elevator to the Quirk lobby and stroll over to Bar Solita directly next door. Take your time selecting some small plates to share, and pair, with your extra dirty martinis shaken not stirred. If possible grab a booth to keep eye contact high and the mood relaxed because this night is just warming up. THIRD STOP: Following dinner, take the ten minute walk down Franklin Ave towards Downtown passing by the fountains of Capitol Square Park and landing at the newly renovated Tobacco Company Restaurant. Head towards the back of the where you’ll find the second bar which is usually less crowded and offers a warm ambience. Don’t get to comfortable though because you can feel it coming in the air tonight. FOURTH STOP: With the night breeze beckoning you head over to your second rooftop of the night at Kabana. While there may be a line, it’s worth the patience because what waits ahead is a panorama of the Richmond city lights. Have a drink, have a dance, hell, have a kiss and enjoy music and dancing as your night comes to a close.
