Nooks & crannies

Be prepared to wait in line if you want to visit Quinton’s, 615 Massachusetts St., on a weekend night. Most bar patrons are familiar with Quinton’s upstairs, but few know it as Quinton’s “after dark,” perhaps the most romantic place to be if you’re looking to meet someone and make out in front of a bunch of strangers.

After you find Mr. or Ms. Right Now, the two of you can grab a seat in one of the many booths. Each seating area is separated by a curtain, providing a little privacy for you and your companion. The super-low lighting and background music coupled with a drink from the ice bar guarantee that you’ll have a good time.

Employee Sarah Keith, Wichita freshman, says people usually start hooking up later in the night after a few drinks. “There always seems to be one couple that’s all over each other,” Keith says. “The overall atmosphere gives it a sexy vibe.”
