I'm going on a 7th date with a guy I've just met.
I've been to pubs, bars, theatre, cinema and restaurants with him, but want to go somethere quirky - somewhere unusal - for example -the restaurant in the pitch black.
Can you think of anywhere quirky or fun, or unusal I can go where we can have a few drinks and grab a bite to eat?

Try the Calabash Restaurant at the Africa Centre. There could be other things going on there which you could join in!http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/restaurants/restaurant-571.php
I see that they were to close for refurbishment in July. Just in case they're not yet open again, try one of several Ethiopian restaurants, such as http://www.londontown.com/LondonInformation/Restaurant/Mercato/c17f/

Try The Souk. It's a great Morroccan place. Very good food and a very unique atmosphere. Eat in the downstairs part for the best atmosphere--small cave-like rooms, some only big enough for a couple or 3 people. It's dimly lit and the tables are low with big cushions that you sit on. Very nice for something different. Here's a review. http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/review_1011.html

Very unusual and very American. Ignore the funny name because it makes it sound like a fast food joint - but it's not. I've been there twice in five years. Not the cheapest food but very tasty and imaginative. Automat American Brasserie 33 Dover Street, Mayfair London W1S 4NF Tel: 020 7499 3033

What about Garlic & Shots in Soho. As it says on the box, Vodka and garlic are top contenders on the menu - prob not the best idea for a romantic (kissy) date but we had a laugh and the staff are great. Unusual menu, garlic flavoured beer! Nice small and cosy atmosphere, despite its proximity to Ronny Scotts.
Also, Beach Blanket Babylon in Notting Hill is a great date location...

Giglamesh in Camden is very unusual if not a bit pricey.
The Oxo Tower is also a great venue.
Best for a fun date though is probably All Star Lanes in Bloomsbury. Bowling and a bite to eat!
