Back for the first time in years, need recommendations for cool birthday spots!

I just moved back from out of state after 4 years and I’d like to have my birthday celebration downtown with friends. I’m no longer super familiar with what’s going on in the city, so I’m looking for some recommendations. I have 10 people in the party, men and women. It’ll be on a Saturday. I’d like to do dinner somewhere that’s not overly fancy but still a nice time with good food, and then something fun to do afterwards. Bar recs or otherwise are appreciated!! I’ve gotten recommendations for fancier restaurants, but I don’t want my guests to have to spend a crazy amount on food! Thank you :)
