Midpoint spots vs. popular spots: which wins?

Sometimes the "famous" bar across town is worth the trip. Most of the time, the midpoint wins — because the meeting actually happens.

When to pick the famous spot

• Special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries).
• Out-of-town visitors who want the iconic experience.
• Anything where the venue is the point.

When to pick the midpoint

• Recurring catch-ups — fair travel makes them sustainable.
• Weeknight plans where energy is already low.
• Groups bigger than four, where logistics compound fast.
