"Sometimes the optimal double date doesn’t involve a seated dinner. Instead, maybe you want a bar with activities where someone’s competitive side can almost derail the night. Austin has lots of those, like shuffleboard at Electric Shuffle, board games at Emerald Tavern, giant Jenga blocks at Moontower Saloon, or mini-golf at The Dirdie Birdie in The Domain. Grab a drink from the bar before making your way through the colorful 12-hole course, and cap off the tournament with burgers, salads, and snacks from the restaurant while debating which of you is about to sign up to coach the PGA Junior League." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
