Our choice of the Vine Street Pub as one of Denver’s Five Best Restaurants for a Blind Date, as well as its win as the Best Break-Up Restaurant, raised an eyebrow…or two…from Dan.
“Not exactly sure how a restaurant that only takes cash is good for either a Blind Date restaurant or a Break-Up Restaurant,” he wrote, and then provided the following scenarios:
Dude on Blind Date: “So, yeah, and that’s how she broke my heart last week. I thought we were going to get married…”
Chick on a Blind Date: “Wow…I see. And you want kids too huh? I just remembered I have this thing I need to go to. I’m sorry but I gotta run. Do you just want to split this?”
[She takes out a credit card]
DoBD: “Yeah, but they only take cash.”
CoBD: “Shit, really? I didn’t bring cash…”
DoBD: “It’s ok. There’s an ATM in the back of the restaurant.”
CoBD: “Alright…I’ll be right back.”
And in another instance…
Dude: “…like I said. It’s not you…it’s me.”
Chick: [Sobbing]
Dude: “But we can still be friends! For real. You’re one of my best friends and I don’t want to ever lose that.”
Chick: [More sobbing]
Dude: “Let’s get out of here. I’ll pick this one up.”
[Takes out credit card, hands to waitress]
Waitress: “I’m sorry sir, but we only take cash.”
Dude: “Seriously?”
Waitress: “Well there is an ATM in the back.”
Dude: “Ok. Wait here, I’ll be back in a minute.”
Chick: [Still Sobbing]
