My partner and I live in Kingwood and want to spend a night downtown for his birthday. We're from a small town and moving back soon and want to experience a little bit of the city life before we go.

Looking for something fun and swanky but not quite Post Oak prices (although it looks gorgeous). Good restaurant is a plus but we will probably spend all day drinking across town and can eat out as well. I'm overwhelmed by options and lack of knowledge, help! Don't mind location whether it's uptown, galleria, memorial, downtown, etc. I've got my eye on The Lancaster but wanted to hear other opinions/suggestions.
