We all know that the hardest part about date night is choosing where to go. You want something not too flashy but not boring. Something with a lively enough atmosphere to keep the good vibes flowing but somewhere that's quiet enough so you can give your attention to each other. Luckily for us, Denver is full of spots that provide the perfect setting for a date. Whether it's your first date, an anniversary celebration or just a night out on the town, here are five excellent spots to take your partner in the Mile High City.
Walk Through Golden
1010 Washington Ave.
Golden, CO 80401
(303) 279-3113

Golden is the place to take a date for a lovely evening. Take a walk down by Clear Creek, stroll through Olde Golden and check out some of the shops nearby or stop in at places such as Woody's Pizza or The Buffalo Rose for food, drinks and fun. There is always something going on here, and it's not far from the city (only about a 15-minute drive). If you're looking for something easy and fun that both parties will enjoy, Golden is the place to go.

Aqua Golf
501 W. Florida Ave.
Denver, CO 80223

If you want something fun for the both of you, be sure to check out Aqua Golf. Aqua Golf consists of a full-scale driving range in which golfers drive balls into a lake located on the premises. It's a little more fun than your traditional driving range, as they have buoys and targets to aim for. Hitting long balls isn't your thing? They also have a 36-hole miniature golf course that is fun for any and all ages and skill levels. Aqua Golf makes for a fun, and very affordable, night out the both of you can enjoy.

16th Street Mall

Not feeling like driving or golfing and want to see what the city is all about? Head down to 16th Street Mall, where you can find a mixture of food, performers, bars, shops, and most importantly, a good time. Every Friday and Saturday night, the pedestrian mall is full of people, meaning there is always something fun going on. Walking from one end to the other is a great way to spend a date night, as it leaves plenty of options open. Not only that, many popular nightlife districts (like LoDo and Market Street) are within close walking distance of the mall, so it's the perfect place to get your night on the town started.
