Date Spots in Denver, CO

Dating in Denver

For a first date, coffee shops like Salita, Pablo's Coffee, and Hello Darling give you an easy, low-pressure start. You can add a pastry or sandwich at Sesame Sandwiches or Blend.Co, then walk through Cheesman Park or Civic Center Park if the weather is kind. Dinner can stay casual with pizza at Walter’s303 Pizzeria & Publik House, Cuban and Caribbean plates at Cuba Cuba Cafe & Bar, or Mexican at La Diabla Pozole Y Mezcal. If you want something more playful, try burgers at Gaia Masala & Burger or deli fare at Leven Deli. Denver dates often mix a simple coffee stop with a park and a relaxed meal.

Later, drinks at My Brother's Bar, Vine Street Pub & Brewery, or Bang Up To The Elephant can keep the night going. Music and culture dates are easy too: catch a show at Bluebird Theater, Ogden Theatre, or Swallow Hill Music, or visit Denver Art Museum, Clyfford Still Museum, or History Colorado Center. Outdoors, Four Mile Historic Park, Governors Park, and Harvard Gulch Park offer quieter strolls, while Gates Tennis Center or Skyline Park can add activity. End with coffee at The Bardo Coffee House or Aviano Coffee, or dessert at Olive and Finch Eatery and Bakery. Denver also has Terminal Bar and Rumours Karaoke Cafe for a late drink.
