Frederick's on Fleet - 1/16/2014

I was told by a friend of mine before coming here that this is THE SPOT to bring a girl on a date to have some coffee, a dessert, and maybe an after-dinner drink. Now, aside from the 13 pointer deer head hanging over us, I'd say he was right and more. This place has a warm and comfortable feel to it.  It is not the biggest bar on the block, but it doesn't need to be with a wonderful selection of eclectic and high quality standard cocktails. Furthermore, all of the food we had was excellent including what another burder blogger and I agree to be the best fried fish and chips we ever had.  All of us would return for a whole meal, drinks and dessert. This is quite honestly one of the best date spots to take someone hands down whether it be a long-time partner/spouse/significant other or your 2nd or 3rd date with your person of interest. Just don't bring anyone from PETA, they might not like the deer head. 5/5.

12/12/13 - 13th Floor

The 13th floor is a swanky spot at the top of the Belvedere hotel. Don't try to walk in here with jeans or sneakers, they literally won't let you in. After spending what will feel like eternity riding the elevator up 13 floors, you will be greeted with a spectacular view. We went at night (see above) but I would hazard a guess that sunset would be beautiful as well. The drinks aren't cheap, but not crazy, about $10 for your average cocktail. They have food as well but it seemed somewhat expensive.

Long story short, if you feel like being classy and having some tasty cocktails, this is the place for you. If you're looking to chug Natural Light out of a duck, might wanna try somewhere else.

4.5/5
