Are these spots good for a low-key second or third date?
Yes — the wine bars, small-plates spots, and cocktail-focused restaurants on this list work well past the first-date jitters. Look for places with bar seating if you want flexibility on how long you stay; book a proper table if you want the lingering-over-dessert energy.
Can I find a date-night spot in Houston with live music?
