No windows and minimal wall lamps give this Henderson dive a dark backdrop. The lighting is so low that it's tough to see the black booths along the wall but lit enough to see the hot singles sipping their preferred sauce.

The shaded light comes in handy at this cavernous wine bar where you need some privacy to show the love. Leather couches in private pockets are lit by a romantic glow that allows connoisseurs and couples to sip and snuggle.

Absinthe Lounge

A poorly lit bar in a basement of a residential building seems a bit seedy but it's has just the right vibe for an after work tryst with the Green Fairy: absinthe.Their version of this controversial liquor is legal so you don't have to go underground to find it. However, the discreet setting does make it more exciting to drink.

Although the food and martinis are worth seeing at this Greenville Avenue Bar, the lights are dimmed enough to disappear into their intimate row of black booths and groove with the DJ's tunes.
