Pings is a large Asian bistro located just outside of the main downtown area at the start of Eat Street. They have a nice open decor and good food. The atmoshpere is pleasent and there are a lot of fish tanks to stare at if your date is boring. They sell beer and wine only, and this is more of a restaurant than a bar, so check it out for dinner, but then head up the street to New Dehli, Azia, or down to Brits for a more social bar scene. Try their specialty birds nest entree, it is excellent.
