Pinos in Highland Park has live music over the weekend. Nightlife in New Brunswick isnt what it used to be but they have tons of good restaurants and great place for plays. Also has a geology museum and zimmerali art museum both of which are free.

If it was me I would do early date, goto both museums then eat somewhere downtown on of off george st, maybe bar hop a bit on george st and goto pinos later on to see music if you’re still energetic at that point.

Also Rutgers gardens is a great date spot but maybe not the best place for first date cause parts of it are somewhat secluded, though not all.

I personally don't get the appeal of pinos it's pricey for the area and not that great inside.

Its the only venue in the area that consistently has good live music, they allow dogs, have video games, and do all sorts of cool shit regularly. If you’re not a music fan I’d understand thou.

I get you. I've gone for trivia night before but otherwise I prefer to go by the shore if I can.

Shores where i go during the summer but when its cold out its a close easy option for people that live around here.

The appeal is that tons of people can walk to it, and they basically have a musician or event every single night of the week. You can also bring in your own food (Except pizza since they serve that now), and HP has some pretty good restaurants to choose from.
