Got a girl meeting up with me Friday night driving in from East Brunswick. Philadelphia is roughly halfway between us so I picked that as the spot. Problem is the only bars I know are crowded clubby college bars for singles, or dive bars with absolute degenerates.

Asked a couple friends but they're not so knowledgeable either, wanted to see if anybody has a recommendation here. I'm looking for something that's relaxed and is neither too fancy nor too trashy.

EDIT: I was suggest The Goat or Strangeloves. Apparently the former is a little pricier and the latter is less so but a little more hipster. Curious if anybody here is familiar.

A little update for the 3 people who bother to read this.

The girl I'm seeing tomorrow and I are texting back and forth and she hit me with this after I responded to her question where she asked me what I'm looking for:

"Haha that's a fair point. I'm at the point in my life where I want something long-term but no pressure because obviously you have to feel things out and whatnot lol. Buttt if you're not open or looking for that then let me know :)"

In my experience, girls are either using this as an anti-slut defense or are holding out for potential marriage material. I'm wondering if there's any extra context that would help figure out which it is prior to meeting - because meeting up will likely be a decent expense of both time and money, but she's making a longer trip than I am to meet up for this, so at least she's highly invested.

Curious what some of you might think.

Wow. I am amazed that you are meeting up with a female from East Brunswick, NJ. I'm not well versed on Philadelphia bars. Pick a bar within walking distance of a hotel that you have good logistics for sex.
