First off, Flamingo House is in a pink Victorian house, so that’s enough of a reason to check out this interesting bar.

This is one of my favorite date spots. It’s got a cozy, cool atmosphere, and they give fantastic service. If you can’t get a table, head to the bar for an equally great dining experience.
