Like little dating leprechauns, we're always trying to find our pot of dating gold at the end of the rainbow. And we sure found it with Copa d'Oro, whose translation literally means "Cup of Gold." Full to the brim with dapper Corporateers and charming Southern Gents, Copa is the perfect place to meet a guy with a refined palate for fine cocktails (we love the cucumber mojito). Our only complaints about this cozy vaunt is its location (right off of third street promenade), and lack of seating. Our advice? Come early during the week for happy hour ($5 drinks) and then head down the street to Ma'Kai.
