Is this a good place to meet someone for drinks on first date?

I would say it's not cozy enough for a first date where you get acquainted but for a second date it would be fine.

Too loud probably

Not bad for drink date, but much better for a dinner or even Sunday brunch date

Dinner date

No. It's better for a dinner date.

I would say it is a fitting place. Not too loud, just the nice atmosphere and defenitely good if you are just having some drinks.
