Bar in Uptown?

[Mister Tudball]

I'm meeting a lady for the first time next week for drinks.

Can anyone recommend a bar or restaurant in uptown that's not too noisy or ridiculously expense? Something with a relatively quiet atmosphere where on doesn't have to shout to be heard?

I love the bar at the Ritz. The couches are so comfy and the patio is great.

My suggestions:

The Common Table, The Stoneleigh P, The Gingerman, The Library (at Warwick Melrose Hotel). None are considered expensive, and are appropriately casual for this kind of meet up. And all have very good food if your drinks turn into dinner (and won't bust your budget).

Quiet? IDK, all are popular and depends on what time and day; but shouting won't be necessary no matter what crowd is there.

Idle rich pub, nick and sam's grill, del Frisco grill

The Katy trail ice is nice. The common table and nick and SAMs are VERY noisy. The ritz is nice as is the melrose but are a little pricey. The stoneleigh hotel has a nice bar as well.

Try Henry's Majestic...

Thanks for the input everyone.

Rattlesnake Bar at the Ritz.
Idle Rich Pub for more downscale.
Really casual, The Gingerman.

The Meddlesome Moth and Victor Tangos are my two favorite places uptown to take the ladies.

Neither is Uptown. Medloesome Moth is in the Design District. Victor Tango is East of Central on Henderson -- Knox/Henderson neighborhood.

Correct.

But Meddelsome Moth would be a good bar/restaurant for the kind of hook up that Mr. T seeks.

Parliament. I highly recommend the Ramos Gin Fizz or the Mint Julep. It's very cozy, and you can't beat the prices for amazing craft cocktails!

I agree with you on that. better than any in Uptown, IMHO. But I assumed he asked for Uptown for a reason.

Another good one might be the Dragonfly Bar at the Hotel ZaZa.

CRU in West Village is intimate...

That PUBLIC SCHOOL is always interesting, but packed...

DEL FRISCO's patio - if the weather is good - but pricey.

UPTOWN PUB or (whatever they are calling "The Quarter" now) are probably the cheapest, but... are you trying to make a good impression? lol
