Second Date Ideas in Denver

Share a candlelit private suite at Oakwell Beer Spa, with an herbal beer bath, infrared sauna, and local craft drinks. The room is reserved for just the two of you.

A hop-infused beer-bath soak is the centerpiece, with rose petals and chocolate added through the Couple's Retreat upgrade.

Make dinner side by side at Cook Street School of Culinary Arts, where a hands-on class gives you time to talk and laugh together.

Choose a one-night class in Mediterranean, Italian, or Southeast Asian food, or explore wine or cocktails instead. Each includes a welcome cocktail.

Pair dinner with live jazz at Nocturne Jazz and Supper Club, in a restored exposed-brick RiNo warehouse. You can add wine or cocktail pairings to the three-course dinner if you like. For dessert there is dark chocolate and hazelnut, and the seasonal menu also offers duck confit with masa dumplings.

If you want something more casual, you can order a la carte snacks at the bar. Hours are Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 10pm, Friday and Saturday from 6pm to 11pm, and Sunday from 6pm to 8:30pm.

Balistreri Vineyards, an urban winery about ten minutes from downtown, makes Italian-tradition wines mostly from Colorado grapes, and it has a tasting room plus a gift shop.

Have craft cocktails in the grand lobby of RiNo's Ramble Hotel at Death & Co Denver, with full-table service and a Denver-specific menu. Plush chairs, the intimate Suite 6A lounge, and a Garden offer different places to settle in.

Try specialty cocktails inspired by the pre-Prohibition era at Union Lodge No. 1, a tribute to late 19th-century American bars. It opens at 5pm, closing at 11pm Sunday through Wednesday and 1am Thursday through Saturday.

Seats go to whoever arrives first, so a wait is possible.

Plan a farm-to-table dinner at Duo Restaurant in LoHi, which appears on a list of romantic restaurants. Chef Tyler Skrivanek has led its contemporary, seasonal kitchen since 2023. Find it on West 32nd Avenue.

If you would rather plan the evening ahead, you can reserve.

Settle into Barolo Grill's warmly lit Cherry Creek dining room for northern Italian cooking at a date-night favorite. A lively bar sits alongside it.

Meet for afternoon tea in the Brown Palace Hotel's grand atrium, with live piano or harp music. Daily afternoon service includes scones, pastries, sandwiches, and a wide choice of teas.
