DATE NIGHT SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE AN INTERVIEW

Dinner is fine. Drinks are fine. But Atlanta gives you way too many options for every date to start with “So... what do you do?” from opposite sides of a table. The best Atlanta dates give you something to do together. Bowl under chandeliers at The Painted Duck. Turn mini golf into a competition at Puttshack. Make art at Studio W.I.P. Lace up at Cascade. Step into virtual reality. Blow something up at Beat The Bomb. Make something with your hands. Play games, talk trash, laugh, flirt, and figure out whether you actually like each other. That's what BlkTravel's Best Date Ideas in Atlanta is about.

Some of these are first-date safe. Some are better once you're already comfortable with each other. Some can turn into dinner and drinks afterward, while others can carry the entire night by themselves. And a few work just as well for couples who've been together for years and simply need something better than asking each other, “What you wanna do?” Because date night doesn't always need candles and white tablecloths. Sometimes loser buys the drinks.
