Looking for the best date night spots in Denver? Well, look no further! Our team here at Corken + Company felt this list of a couple of the best date night spots would be perfect for your next night on the town!
Williams & Graham
Hours: Mon-Sun (5 p.m. – 1 a.m.)
Location: 3160 Tejon Street, Denver
The Lowdown: I always look for interesting speakeasies online, and ultimately become disappointed when all of the cool spots are based in Europe. I was surprised to find Williams & Graham on my hunt, a hidden speakeasy on Tejon Street. Tucked behind a false bookstore, this establishment serves specialty cocktails and small bites sure to tickle your tastebuds. The bar has over 60 different cocktails, some even dating back over 200 years ago. But don’t fret, if you don’t find anything you want on the menu, the expert bartenders can create a personal cocktail for you based on your preferences and mood. If you’re looking to add some spice to your relationship, stop by for a Side Eye ($16) or a classic Espresso Martini ($16) to set the mood. There’s no better way to enjoy the night than with a little mystery and a damn good cocktail. It is recommended to make a reservation.
Old Town Hot Pot
Hours: Mon-Sun (11:30 a.m. – 9:30 p.m.)
Location: 2852 S Havana St, Aurora
The Lowdown: For the couple that craves a more “hands-on” experience, what better way to enjoy an evening than visiting a local hot pot joint? Old Town Hot Pot is an all-you-can-eat establishment with great prices and even bigger portions. The fun of this place is in the process, you get to make your food right at the table, so you and your date can be your own culinary experts for the night. One of the highlights of Old Town Hot Pot is the make-your-own sauce bar, where suggestions include using small bits of sugar and an excess amount of green onions for the perfect bite. Chinese hot pot is a great way to connect with your date over food, and maybe by the end of the night, you’ll even share a dumpling or two. Stop by and eat up for only $28.99 per person.
El Five Denver
Hours: Sun-Thurs (5 p.m. – 10 p.m.) Fri-Sat (5 p.m. – 11 p.m.)
Location: 2930 Umatilla Street, 5th Floor, Denver
The Lowdown: If you’re wanting an dinner with a view, El Five is the restaurant to put on your list. Located on the fifth floor, this eatery serves not only incredible food but amazing views of your favorite city. Right next door is their sister establishment Linger, creating a community-centric atmosphere. Inspired by the flavors of the Sea of Gibraltar, El Five creates Mediterranean-focused dishes that don’t revolve around one specific city. Try their Spreads of the Med ($25) platter to experience a multitude of flavors, or a unique dish like the Chickpea Pancake Tacos ($17). Tapas can be a great way to start or end a perfect date night, make sure to stop by!
Elways
Hours (Dinner): Sun–Thurs (5 p.m. – 8:45 p.m.), Fri – Sat (5 p.m. to 9:45 p.m.)
Location: 1881 Curtis St, Denver
The Lowdown: I may be biased because one of my first anniversary dinners was here, but I think this is an excellent place to bring your S.O. to celebrate something special. While the overall vibe is a bit higher-end, Elway’s always shows up with mouth-watering dishes. This restaurant is sure to leave you with a full stomach. Some of the favorites include the Lamp Chop Fondue ($59) and their hand-cut prime steaks. With an array of different sides and sauces, there’s something for everyone. If steak isn’t your style, try out Elway’s Salmon ($54) with luscious lumps of crab and shrimp. Or you can try the popular Short Rib “Off the Bone” ($52). Elway’s is a Denver classic, so make sure to add it to your anniversary dinner options.
