I've field tested this extensively and found that 8:30pm was the sweet spot for drink dates.
It's too late for them to go without food, they are forced to eat at home and shower before the date. i.e. not coming straight from work all sweaty and stinky.
Also sets a time constraint on how long the date lasts as to not sit there for hours entertaining her.
8:00 to 8:30PM, definitely. I usually schedule for 8:00, and then show up around 8:15 or so. Nevertheless, I usually get there before my date.
If it was a happy hour, which I'd rather avoid for a first meetup, I could see getting an appetizer to split, something anodyne like chicken tenders.
