Whether it’s your first or your 20th date with your sweetheart, Denver has a little bit of everything when it comes to the dating scene. It’s even been named a top 10 best city for singles by Forbes Magazine.
Here are a few of our favorite spots to hit on date night.
Grizzly Rose
You’ve graduated from the first date… Dinner and drinks have been done… You’re looking for something new and exciting in Denver. We recommend a night of dancing at Grizzly Rose! The venue is a notable hot spot for country artists, but it’s also a great place to learn to line dance or two-step. Here’s a bonus for you, too: Wednesday night dance lessons are free! So go ahead, down a whiskey, loosen up and get out there. Find more information on more advanced dance lessons here!
Boozy Movie Night
Denver takes its craft beer culture seriously, so it’s no surprise that we expect our movie theaters to carry our favorite brews. You don’t have to look any further for a laid back night than the Mayan Theater, located at 110 Broadway, in the Baker District. The bar features a happy hour from 3-6 p.m, and the last call is 15 minutes after the final showing starts. This theater is Denver’s place to be when it comes to indie and off-beat movies you likely won’t find in major chain cinemas.
Alamo Drafthouse in nearby Littleton is also a great place to hit for a beer and show. It’s located in Aspen Grove.
“Escape” from the city and enjoy some nature
Lookout Mountain
The city life can get to be a bit too overwhelming at times. Take a date away from downtown and head out to Lookout Mountain. It’s a bit of a drive, 20 minutes from the heart of Denver, but the sweeping views from the Continental Divide to Denver’s skyline is well worth it. You’ll be sitting at around 7,500 feet. Bring a picnic or grab a bite to eat — or beer — in Golden on the way up. Yelp reviewers recommend Abejas at 807 13th Street. Order a tequila cocktail.
Take exit 256 going westbound on I-70 and turn right to get to Lookout Mountain. Highway signs will guide you from there for the perfect Denver date.
Ace Eat Serve
It’s okay to make date night a little competitive, right? Ace Eat Serve at the corner of 17th and Pennsylvania will not disappoint. The vibrant Asian-inspired eatery features a menu of bento boxes and ramen and plenty of ping-pong tables. After dinner grab a drink from one of the city’s best bartenders at Ace Eat Serve, as named by local culture magazine 5280. He has created a drink menu for everyone with juices, house made sodas and Asian beers in addition to the quirky cocktail menu. Then, hit the tables.
Selfie Museum
At this museum, the visitors are the masterpiece! If you want some cute pictures to remember your date, this is the place to go. With many colorful sets and fun props, the possibilities are infinite- from a ball pit with telephones, to a room made of mirrors. It is the first and only Instagram pop-up museum in Denver and has an astonishing 4.5 stars on Yelp! You can find this fun business right off of 16th Street Mall and Stout Street!
There isn’t a lack offun date ideas in Denver. You’ll be sure to impress and have some fun whether it’s adventure you’re looking for or a quiet night after work. Of course, nothing is more fun, in our opinion, than our escape rooms! For more information or recommendations, feel free tocontact us.
We had an amazing time at the Speakeasy escape room! The whole experience was fun, immersive, and really well put together. We were walk-ins and were pleasantly surprised to get in right away—no wait at all. Our Game Master, Sean, was incredibly helpful and outgoing—he struck the perfect balance of giving us support when we needed it without spoiling the fun. The rest of the staff were just as friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even better. If you’re looking for a challenging and entertaining escape room experience, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience! Dakota and company couldn't have been any nicer and accomodating! We did the Vampire Hunter Room and we absolutely loved it; it was challenging as well as entertaining. We would definitely recommend. Also, besides being a phenomenal Game Master, Dakota presented us with options of things to do in Denver AFTER our Escape Room experience (we were in town as 1st time tourists). Thank you for being so helpful!

We did the vampire room and it was super challenging but very fun and thematic! Dakota was such a great game master, super funny and knew just when to drop hints when we were stuck! I highly recommend anyone check this place out in Denver if they get the chance. You won't regret it!

One of the best escape room experiences I’ve had. We played “Vampire Hunter” and it was an immersive experience with a variety of really good puzzles. Zeke, our Game Master, was fantastic and set the perfect tone for a very enjoyable time!

Super fun! We stopped by during a quick trip to Denver. We do a lot of escape rooms and I can say that this one was high quality!
Cooper & Dakota were great game masters, combining humor and straightforwardness in explaining the rules.
We played the Black Beard’s Brig room and loved it- unique clues, cool props, and interactive for all members in our group.
We’ll definitely try to go back if we ever find ourselves in Denver again.

We went for my sisters bachelorette and it was amazing. The room was decorated so well. We did the ancient Egypt room and the fact that the room had real sand on the floor was mind blowing. Harmony was also such an amazing game master. She was entertaining, she played her role well, and she knew when to give us a nudge in the direction. I will absolutely recommend Escape Works and Harmony to everyone looking for an escape room experience.
