Cozy Date Ideas

Every year, Valentine’s Day can quickly sneak up on us, leaving many to scramble to find the perfect spot for a date night. Thankfully, we have taken the leg work out of it, scouring the neighborhood for the best date night options for last-minute lovers.


#1 PINTS PUB

True love is comfortable and cozy, and Pints Pub provides both in a unique setting for lovers who have known one another for years. An authentic British gastropub, Pints Pubs is also a brewer of authentic cask ales. Whiskey-lovers will appreciate Pints Pub collection of single-malt whiskeys, perfect for kicking your feet back, and sipping slowly to enjoy the sweet notes of Valentine’s night.


#2 FIRE RESTAURANT & LOUNGE

If you’re looking for a classy dinner, set inside a modern, yet soulful eatery, FIRE Restaurant & Lounge at the ART, a hotel may be your perfect date night. With a seasonal, rotating menu, signature cocktails, and warm fire pits dancing wildly in the chilly night, this beautiful and literally elevated restaurant (it sits 3-stories above Broadway) is a lovely spot for those kindling new romance.


#3 CUBA CUBA CAFÉ & BAR

There is nothing quite like spending your Valentine’s dinner in the lush, bright colors of Cuba. Enjoy skillfully crafted traditional Cuban dishes like Camarones Al Coco while sipping a freshly muddled mojito with mango. The friendly staff make this bungalow-turned-restaurant setting a truly exceptional experience, best enjoyed with a shared flan before heading home.

#4 THE PONTI

The Golden Triangle’s newest restaurant is located in the Denver Art Museum and bears the famous architect’s name. Jennifer Jasinski, a James Beard award-winner, is the consulting chef for The Ponti. A locally inspired restaurant, the menu is simple and clean, much like the design of the building surrounding it, but never lacking in flavor, color, and fun.
