History Of The Dallas Dating Scene

History Of The Dallas Dating Scene

There's more than a little Spanish influence in Dallas, and you will find that the Dallas dating scene has been suffused with Iberian culture since Texas began as one of the far south outposts of the US. If you want to sample some true Spanish and Mexican cuisine head up Stone Street Gardens downtown; this is one of the real culture hubs of the city, an area packed with bars, bistros, restaurants, and quaint little eateries, any one of which would make a delightful venue for a date. Stone Street is also a STONE's throw from the downtown Arts District, long a place where couples would meander among the exhibits, lost in love. If live music is your thing, you may be interested to know that Deep Ellum, just east of downtown, was originally the stomping ground for a lot of early blues players in the Twenties and Thirties; today, Deep Ellum is still a bumping area, which plenty of joints to hang out with your squeeze and chill to some dope tunes.

Best Times To Go Out

Best Times To Go Out

This is kind of dependent on what style of date you would like. Some people like to go on dates during the day, and some at night. Then again, there is the kind of date that starts in the day and kind of melts into the evening. These are some of the most romantic dates. Dallas has distinct areas, and depending on what kind of activity you want, each area is specific to certain closing times, certain vibes. If you want to catch some culture, try the chilled out Arts District, which pretty much follows museum opening times. Want a meal and a drink? Check happening Stone Street, which follows restaurant hours. If you want to hit a club, you're looking at heading out on the ever busy main strip for ten pm on a weekend and getting back for around 3 am. It's up to you, and feel free to wander between Dallas's different areas and mix it up a little!

This place is FUN with a capital F. They have a full bar -- that, believe it or not, specializes in cider -- and they have a whole range of arcade games just waiting to take whole rolls of your hard earned quarters. Up to date pinball machines and more ciders than you have probably ever seen in one place make Cidercade a very distinctive and very fun place for a date.

Welcome to the Round-Up saloon, an LGBT haven for cowboys, and cowboys who love cowboys. If you love line dancing, tequila, honkytonk piano and hot studs from wall to wall, this might be the place to bring your date for a night they will never remember! With events every night it seems like, and deals on drinks, this is the number one bar for country and western lovers throughout the gay community.

Brief Description:
They do food, they do drink, and they do comedy. These three things alone make this a great idea for a Dallas date. What's more, it is in Deep Ellum, an historical part of town renowned for performances, as well as right by a bunch of restaurants. Grab a drink at the bar with your date, and get some food if you are feeling peckish, then settle in to watch the show. The comedy acts here also include improv, so if shouting out prompts to the guys on the stage is your thing you are in the right place! It can make for a fun, interactive experience for a couple out on a date, so if you have never thought of giving comedy a go as a date idea you should swing by with your significant other and give it a try some night!

Brief Description:
With wine on hand and all the painting equipment you could possibly need, plus tuition if you want it, Painting with a Twist offers the kind of date experience that will give you and your date memories to last a lifetime -- plus you get to take your creations home with you! Most cities have places like these, and there is a reason that is the case -- it's because they give dating couples a great place to hookup and get messy while having good clean fun (though not literally clean -- you will see why when you turn up and proceed to get covered with paint.) But wait -- why is it called Painting with a Twist? It's because you get to paint, and drink at the same time! Now if that isn't a great date idea, we don't know what is! Wear something old that you don't mind getting a bit mucky in and maybe come after dinner so you aren't drinking on an empty stomach, then just relax with your date and have fun painting!

A great spot for Dallas natives and out of towners alike, if you are looking for a wild date idea then this might be the one for you. If you are driving you will be pleased to know that there are several lots to chose from. If you don't mind crowds of school kids at certain times of day, then this is probably one of the best spots to go on a date in Dallas for folk who want to avoid the usual idea of just going for a drink, a meal, and a movie. It's practically an indoor jungle, so be prepared to gasp, and coo, and want to adopt pretty much everything you see.

It's a simple premise -- a group tour that takes you around Dallas sampling everything from Middle Eastern cuisine to the Dallas Famers Market, from smaller delis to high end restaurants. Yes, that really is what you will be doing -- eating and checking out delicious eateries all day long with your date! Sounds like fun? It's relaxed, delicious, informative, and a great bonding experience for couples who love to eat and try new things. From amazing pasta dishes to outdoor BBQs, deli style pizzas, and pitta with all sorts of dips, there are some great foodstuffs to try out. Think it stops there? Heck no, because there are desserts to try as well. get your fill of cakes, gateauxs, ice creams, pastries, doughnuts, shakes, and if that's not enough and you need more, you can always go back to one of the places you visited on the tour and have a proper meal rather than just a sample.

For experienced water sports fans.
Brief Description:
If you want a hands on activity to really go wild with your partner and don't mind getting wet then you might want to try the White Rock Paddle Company. They do kayaking, rafting, and paddle-boarding, so you can sit or stand as you and your date roam around on the waters together under the careful eye of an instructor and alongside other water sports fans making a big splash and having a lot of fun. This may be a great date idea for folk who already have some experience on the water. If you are nervous on the water, or flat out cannot swim, you might want to give it a miss. Apart from that though this is a great idea for a Dallas date if you and your loved one are feeling the heat of the city and want to get away on the lake for a few hours. Put safety first and you are sure to have a fun and romantic time on the water.

Dallas Panic Room

College and up
Website:
texaspanicroom.com/dallas
Address:
2001 W Irving Blvd, Irving, TX 75061
Any Notes:
Nearby parking
Brief Description:
Six clues, one hour, and a few different rooms to try. If you haven't done it before, escaping from a panic room is one of the most exhilarating buzzes you can get, and it is certainly a good bonding experience. They use these things for corporate events, so that you should give you some idea of their value as team building and bonding exercises -- a great idea for couples! Team up as you figure out how to escape, and this will be a fun idea for a date. Some of the rooms are pretty hard, but you will have a great time even if you do not manage to escape! (The nice thing is, you DO actually get to leave, even if you don't figure out the puzzles...) Definitely one of the more unique ideas on our list, and not for the faint hearted! Give it a go if you and your date like to solve puzzles, or are fans of the thriller movie genre.

Space:
Large bar
Crowd:
College and up
Website:
liquidzoosportsbar.com
Address:
2506 Knight St, Dallas, TX 75219
Any Notes:
Free parking
Brief Description:
A very popular tavern that is a big hit with the LGBT community. It's lively, it's bright, it's fun, and if you bring a date here they are assured 100% of a truly great time. It is the last date idea on our list, but it is one of the best places in Dallas bar none (no pun intended.) There is always something to do here, so if this is like your first, second or third date and you need a way to break the ice then grab one of the many board games they have lying around to try, or wait for the karaoke to start and grab the microphone for a date night to remember!
