From Romantic to Rowdy
Detroit does date nights right, and plenty of these ideas double as group activities. Whether it’s a new relationship, an anniversary, or a friends’ night out, there’s something for every mood.
For Chill Evenings
Detroit Foundation Hotel + Apparatus Room – Gorgeous space, delicious food, perfect for pre-show dinners.
The Detroit Opera House – A classy night out for couples or groups who love live performances.
Campus Martius Ice Skating (Winter) – Hot chocolate, lights, and a cozy downtown backdrop.
For Fun and Playful Nights
HandleBar Detroit – The ultimate way to mix romance with laughter (and maybe some off-key singing).
Punch Bowl Social – Bowling, karaoke, and arcade games for a relaxed, upbeat vibe.
Fowling Warehouse – Football plus bowling equals guaranteed laughter.
For Groups That Double as “Dates”
Some nights are about couples, some are about the friend group that might as well be couples.
Try Tin Roof, Deluxx Fluxx, or Barcade. They’re great for both.
Local Tip
Start the night with dinner, add a ride, and finish with drinks at a rooftop bar. It’s a Detroit-style trifecta that never fails.
