About the venue: A southern kitchen and live music venue rated 4.4 from nearly 2,500 reviews, mid-priced. Important for scheduling: it is closed Monday and Tuesday, and closes at 9pm Wednesday and Thursday — so a 7pm start gives two hours. It is listed as an event venue and reviewers note live music on many nights, which is worth checking against your date.

Getting there: One of the best-connected venues in the US set: Hartford Union Station is a three-minute walk, serving Amtrak, CTrail Hartford Line and regional buses — so attendees can reach it by train from New Haven, Springfield and beyond.
