For cocktail connoisseurs who prefer a spot that offers a measured take on, say, a classic cocktail like the Sazerac, Comstock Saloon is a solid choice. Housed inside a historical space, it’s a lovely place to spend time in, and if things are going well, it’s easy enough to extend the date with dishes from the kitchen and live music that typically kicks off at 8 p.m.

For the types who prefer a dive bar — and prefer a partner who does, too — Mr. Bing’s could be a great place to test the waters. It’s an easygoing space filled with (mostly) locals, and drinks skew toward the classics. That means no overly complicated menus or cocktails to worry over when ordering so you can keep your attention on your date.

The Coffee Movement takes its coffee seriously, but it’s also a shop where one can learn about coffee. The shop’s tasting flight features three different coffees, or one coffee prepared three different ways, perfect for nerding out on a first date and trying something new. There’s practically no seating here, however, so plan on taking your drinks out to the small parklet or on a walk around the neighborhood.

If you’re looking to keep an eye on the budget, but still want an impressive meal out, Cassava is the place to go. This French-Cailfornian bistro has a three-course menu available for under $55 per person — as well as a five-course version for slightly more — and there’s an a la carte menu if preferred. An optional beverage pairing is offered with the three- and five-course tasting menus.

Portofino is a charming seafood restaurant, serving items such as whole roasted Dungeness crab, cioppino, po’boys, pasta, and more. The decor and ceiling only add to the restaurant’s allure, and now that you’re in a long-term relationship, you likely won’t mind cracking into a messy crab together. This is the kind of low-key spot that’ll prove you’ve still got some tricks up your sleeve.

If you and your partner are the food-loving types who enjoy a fine dining experience, it doesn’t get more high-end than three-Michelin-starred Quince. Led by chefs Michael and Lindsay Tusk, expect a multi-course meal that showcases local produce sourced from West Marin. Add to the glamour of the night with selections from the cheese and vintage amaro carts at the end of the meal.

A karaoke bar may seem an odd choice for a breakup spot, but the more you think about it, the more genius it becomes. There’s plenty of music to drown out any of the more heated moments in your conversation, people are too focused on the singer to notice you, and you can even sing a swan song if needed.
