I haven't frequented the Linq enough. There are so many cool little spots to hang out at, including Blvd. Cocktail! I was meeting a friend here Tuesday night and it was quite slow. The bartender, Mike, was super awesome and friendly. He made me an Irish Mule even though they didn't have ginger beer on had. He worked some magic with real ginger, ginger ale and other things and the drink was even better than a normal mule with real ginger beer.
They had a piano player who kept asking us for requests, and he was able to play any song we listed, including songs by JT, Foo Fighers, Kanye West, etc. It's cute little place with a speakeasy feel. The bartenders are obviously very talented mixologists. There's a beautiful patio right out on the promenade as well. I'll be back!
