Date night ideas in Fort Collins, CO
Looking for date night ideas in Fort Collins, 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 — Urban Eggplex and RARE Italian 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 Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas, 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
