Silicon Valley is home to several trendy bars and clubs such as Johnny V’s, Trials Pub, Hedley Club, The Old Pro Bar, Harry’s Hofbrau, Kirby’s Sports Bar, JJ’s Blues, Scruffy Murphy’s Irish Pub, The Saddle Rack and many others.

The Bacaro Venetian Tavern rides the line between a college hang out and a lounge-type bar. If you find yourself there before nine on a weekday then you can bet on having good service in a laid back atmosphere. However, if you go to Bacaro late on a Friday or Saturday you find yourself competing with frat boys for the bartender’s attention. Fortunately, there is enough room in the bar (and on the upstairs patio, open year round) to avoid most of the crowd.

A further unwritten rule of dressing for stand-up is “Don’t use shorts to a comedy club.” Comedy clubs want to set on a specialized stand-up comedy present and they are inclined to search down on even brand name new comedians who walk on stage donning shorts.

Now say that you’ve done your initial assessment and she seems to be a nice girl, one who cares about you and isn’t winking at your wallet every time you turn your back. Say you decide to take this girl out on a date. A great way to test her here is by suggesting something fun but free or inexpensive. A day at the park perhaps, or a laid-back cup of coffee. If she turns her nose up at this, run in the opposite direction. Don’t get caught up in the idea that you aren’t impressing her, because that’s her greatest weapon.

A club with no music whatsoever is a bore. People often force conversation in while drowning their sorrows in alcohol. Such a nightclub, in fact, is hardly different from your local t-shirt country. A better club is one which includes a dance floor and a pumping sound system, allowing girls and guys alike to grind, salsa or swing to their hearts’ delight. Dancing breaks social inhibitions — especially when accompanied by the occasional mixed drink.
