Figuring out where to go on a first date is tricky, right? Not anymore! Date night in St. Louis can be fun and flirty\u2014not awkward and stressful\u2014when you set the right mood in a fun environment. Up your chances of getting a second date with one of these great choices:<\/p>\n

Parlor<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A first date over drinks is classic, but it can also be a little\u2026expected. Enter Parlor, a super-cool arcade bar in St. Louis, where you can level up your gaming skills and<\/em> your love life. A little friendly competition is a great way to get to know a new person, so take advantage of Parlor\u2019s 14 arcade games, five pinball machines, and five Skee-Ball lanes. Share a plate of fries, sip some beer, and see if all the points you score help you score a second date.<\/p>\n

Top Notch Axe Throwing<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

What is your idea of a perfect date? Is it one of the obvious options, or is it something a little\u2026edgier<\/em>? If you\u2019re seeking some weird places in St. Louis to connect with a partner who\u2019s as fun and quirky as you, look no further than an axe-throwing St. Louis activity. Top Notch Axe Throwing costs $35 per person for a 90-minute session, which includes a quick safety and training orientation. You and your date can enjoy conversation while engaging in battle\u2014er, a battle of skill, that is. If you\u2019re feeling extra brave, bring your own bottle\u2014it\u2019s allowed!\u2014and celebrate your efforts with a toast. After all, even if you lose the axe-throwing competition, you\u2019ll have won an unforgettable date night.<\/p>\n

The Improv Shop<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fresh, funny, surprising, and satisfying: Yes, those are words that describe an ideal date night in St. Louis, but they also apply to The Improv Shop, a comedy venue with a full kitchen and bar. A comedy club in St. Louis that lets you and your date share a good meal, a well-crafted cocktail, and a night of unrepeatable improv comedy? This might become a date night regular for you two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Planning ahead is good, but a spontaneous romantic adventure is a great way to keep the flame burning. So where to go on a date if you haven\u2019t scheduled anything? You don\u2019t need to worry about the details when there are fun date ideas ready for walk-ins:<\/p>\n

Saint Louis Art Museum<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It just might be one of the best casual date ideas in St. Louis, and no appointments are needed to enjoy the 5,000 years of history within Saint Louis Art Museum\u2019s walls.

Plus, the price is unbeatable: There\u2019s no admission fee, making Saint Louis Art Museum one of the most enjoyable free things to do in St. Louis. (Just remember, the museum is closed Mondays, so be sure to factor that into your plans.)<\/p>\n

Chain of Rocks Bridge<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

See the spectacular Mississippi River from a completely original vantage point: The Chain of Rocks Bridge, which features a 30-degree turn in the middle. If you and your honey are up for a walk, stroll across this bridge, which was originally built for motorists on Route 66 but is now used solely for foot and bicycle traffic. Chain of Rocks Bridge is about a mile long, and it connects Missouri and Illinois. It\u2019s free, it\u2019s scenic, and it\u2019s one of the most fun things to do in St. Louis\u2014with no reservation needed.<\/p>\n

Sanctuaria<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If you think you know share plates, craft cocktails, or vibey lounges, think again. Sanctuaria is a tapas bar with a dark, quirky interior perfect for deep conversation. Tapas are meant to be shared, so they\u2019re romantic by nature. Sanctuaria\u2019s 150 cocktails are fresh and inventive. And if you don\u2019t want to huddle close together in the dim interior, you can check out the gazebo and patio. Best of all, in addition to the Tuesday \u2013 Thursday happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m., there\u2019s a late-night happy hour on Friday and Saturday from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m., so your midnight cravings needn\u2019t go unsatisfied.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
