What people did for fun on Friday nights long before internet, dvds and cable TV came along, was to go out to the local bars and music halls and listen to live music bands like the example shown here. You get your date and head down there after dark. And the music was good; the musicians were witty, and the show was fun. The idea was to get out of the mundane by a simple, honestly good time. Live music, good people, and a few drinks was the method. Feet would tap, then you knew everything was alright.
