Date night ideas in Boulder, CO
Looking for date night ideas in Boulder, CO? These are pairings from what's actually on this week — the picks below are refreshed daily, so it's a live shortlist rather than an evergreen top-10 list. Take one as the anchor and keep the rest of the evening loose.
- Dinner first — Frasca Food and Wine and Brasserie Ten Ten are on this week's list, and the easiest date night here is one good table with nowhere to be after it. Jump to Eat & Drink
- Make an evening of it — Anchor the night on something that's actually scheduled, like City of Boulder Planning Board Public Hearing, and put dinner on either side of it. Jump to Happening Today
- A first date that isn't dinner — A show, an exhibition or a gallery hour is lower-pressure than a two-hour table when you barely know each other; start here and keep it short. Jump to New & Notable
- Turn it into a weekend — When one night isn't enough, the quick escapes on this page, Estes Park & Rocky Mountain High Country among them, stretch a date night into a weekend. Jump to Quick Escape
