Best Pizza in Denver 🍕 💗!
@cart_driver has been a favorite of ours for years and this summer they celebrated their 10th anniversary 🎉.
This is a tribute to the amazing people who make this pizza possible. Thank you for making our city, stomachs, and Dates happy for a decade.
For us, it doesn’t get better than bread 🥖 and butter 🧈, salad 🥗, a cold bottle of pet nat 🍷, and a delicious pizza 🍕. Grab a Date and go!
Who are you gonna take?

Where’s your favorite Happy Hour in Denver?
We recently popped into @fishnbeer_denver to try out their happy hour and it hit ALL the right notes for us.
HH is Tuesday thru Saturday, 5-6:30pm
🍹 Beers, Bubbles & Frozen Drinks are all on special $6 - $10. The Shark Bite comes with a gummy shark 😋
🦪 $2.50 for Raw and $3 for the Grilled Oysters. If you haven’t had the Grilled, you need to. Even if you don’t love Oysters. Try both flavors.
🌮 🐠 The bites range from $6 - $12. We recommend going with one of everything 😂 (we really couldn’t choose).
We know what you’re thinking…”Alicia, Dan, you never make it to happy hour on time, how did you do it?!”
Great Question. The truth is, it was an accident. If we would have planned it, we would have missed it 🤷🏼♀️ 🤷🏻♂️
Happy Hour is a great way to Date. It’s time boxed, inexpensive and a great way to sample a spot you’ve been wanting to try.

Would your partner do this?! ⬇️
I recently took my Dan to a day with me at salon, and you won’t believe what he did! 🤭
He perused the plentiful drink selection, filled up a cup, and took care of those taking care of me during my day of self-care. Caring people caring for caring people!
If you need your cup filled - literally and figuratively - grab yourself a Dan (you can borrow mine if you return him) and book yourself some time at @maesalon.
Thank you @ajaottero @hannahabeyta.tattoo @lashcouturedenver and Dan for helping a woman feel real good about herself!
How are you caring for yourself today?

Details down below 💕🥂
Michelin-Guide recommended @noisettedenver now has Fried Chicken & Bubbles every Wednesday and Thursday!
Reasons to Date here:
🥂 A cool glass of bubbles is a delicious way to sip through every meal, especially in such a gorgeous setting.
💃🏻The lucious atmosphere with its pale colors and carefully chosen place settings begs for a flowy summer outfit with all the right touches. You’ll fit right in wearing your Fancy.
💋 The bites absolutely deserve a Chef’s Kiss, as the take on Fried Chicken is 🤯 - magically crunchy and moist with exquisite finishes.
Pro Tip: Getting the baguette is a MUST! The brown butter will be something you text all your foodie friends about.
Who will you be trying French Fried Chicken with?

If you’re looking to…
- Meet New People
- Try Something New
- Stay Active
- Have a Ton of Fun
…you should check out @volodenver . We recently dropped in to play Pickleball and we had one of our favorite Dates of the year.
Here’s what we love about it:
⚽🪓There are a ton of activities to choose from. “Staying Active” might mean Soccer, Flag Football, etc. but it could also mean Axe Throwing, Corn Hole or other Bar Games. Choose your own Adventure!
🙅♂️Not looking for a commitment? (We see you, Menver 🙄) You can join a league OR just drop in / play pick up whenever it makes sense for you
🤝We are super competitive but you don’t have to be! You can choose your sports based on skill/experience level. There is something for everyone
🍻After you’re done, head to a nearby spot for exclusive drink / food specials for Volo participants. Pickleball was at RiNo Sports Arena and there was a $19 pitcher deal at @zeppelinstation afterwards!
Bonus: The Shirts are Cool
Bonus Number 2: You can also yell “VOLOOOOOOO” like “YOLO” whenever you want. Just Us? Ok, we’ll keep that to ourselves.
Have you Volo’d before?
PS: Shout Out to Nick & Hope for letting us win pickleball against them. We know you threw the game for the sake of our egos and we appreciate it.

One of our favorite spots to Date!
@weltonroom is well known for their over-the-top drink creations but did you know they also have incredible food?!
💋 This Date Night Special happens every Thursday night and definitely makes for an intimate evening.
The special includes 2 Drinks and 2 Courses for $60
🍹🍸🍽️🍽️
👅 We loved all the bites and the sauces with each dish were SO Tasty. Like lick the plate, Tasty.
(It’s ok, you can lick it. No one’s watching)
(Side Note: Writing things in parenthesis just makes the words seem much safer, somehow, don’t you think? Like ‘it’s ok, baby. Say what you need to. You’ll be OK in here’)
Anyway, where were we?!
I think we covered it all.
Go get em!
Also, don’t forget to check the Monkey Bar next door for 8 different kinds of Espresso Martini. Yes, literally.

If you’re looking for a good time…
@slaters5050denver has you covered!
We went into this date not knowing what to expect and it far exceeded anything we could have hoped for.
Here are a some of the wild things we tried:
🍞 🧀 The Vampire Dip is this beautiful cheesy garlicky bread bowl and it’s a Must Try. We couldn’t stop eating it. We definitely recommend the “Alicia Method” of bread bowling.
🍔 They’re known for their burgers and they have some insane combos. We tried the PB&J burger because it was too ridiculous sounding to miss. It was freakin amazing.
Peanut Butter, Jelly, Thai Sriracha Bacon and Vanilla Ice Cream. Wow. Just Wow.
🍗 They also have some of our favorite wings in Denver. So Crispy!
🫨 The Milkshakes are so crazy (in a good way). One of ours came with an entire slice of cheesecake on top. You need to experience them.
🍻 They have tons of local beers on tap. We tried a Sour from @deweybeerdenver that was crazy good too. This is also where we first fell in love with @weldwerksbrewing
🤝 The entire staff was also just so friendly, fun and engaging. We didn’t want to leave but we figured the team probably wanted to clock out at some point.
Pro Tip: Level Up your experience with the tequila flight!!
Happy Hour is from 3-6pm, 9pm-Close during the week.

Did You Know…
@rootdowndenver has Sunday Dinner every week that includes three incredible courses for just $45 per person. It’s like restaurant week but all year round!
If you haven’t been to Root Down before or if it’s been a while (it was for us!), here’s what you need to know:
🤤 The menu is eclectic with bites that span the globe and Everything is excellent! We tried EVERY SINGLE one of the Sunday Dinner options and they were all so good. If you happen to veer off the Sunday menu (you KNOW we did), don’t miss the Arepas too!
😎 The space is bright and beautiful, with lots of patio seating + giant garage doors that open to allow the outside in! It’s perfect for a spring/summer day or night.
The space was converted from a Gas Station / Auto Shop so it has this really cool funky feel to it.
🍹 The drink menu is unique AND loaded with great flavors. We “sampled” (i.e. tried and finished 🤣) a bunch of great cocktails PLUS they have an array of tasty NA beverages!
Pro Tip: Don’t skip the dessert! We loved all the bites with the Strawberry Shortcake Bomb being our favorite.
— We know what you’re thinking —
“Alicia, Dan, this is GREAT. Cost Effective AND options that don’t just include booze! You really listen to your audiences feedback”
And you’re right. We really do care about you. All of you. Now come here and give us a hug (virtually only, please)
Alright, time to make a reservation! Go get it!
#datenightdenver #denverdateideas #thingstodoindenver #sundaysupper #denverdeals #denversbest #mocktails #denverfoodscene
Do you think you could hang with us?
We honestly surprised ourselves with this one and current Us couldn’t hang with those people.
We had a stellar time partying at @riothousedenver recently and would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a night of drinks and/or dancing.
Bonus points for going full baller and getting bottle service!
Yes, it’s true. They did spell our name “Date Night Enver” but luckily we got to laugh it off with lots of jokes about where “The D” might have ended up.
Feel free to refer to us as DNE from now on.
Have you been to Riot House before? How does it measure up to other clubs in the city?!
We haven’t done this before in Denver, so obviously it ranks Number 1 on our list.

Do you love a Farmers Marker?!
We do! We typically prefer to shop local and are psyched for Farmers Market season!
If you haven’t checked out the @pinemelon_market app, you definitely should. It’s like a farmers market delivery service all year round plus you can do all your grocery shopping there too!
Here’s what we loved about this Date:
⏰ We’re impulsive and no one knows what we will do next (not even us). We had the idea for a home date night, we were able to place our order right away and get the supplies just a few hours later
🤑 We had a $50 off your first order credit and we were able to get everything we wanted and more. We just kept adding yummy things to the cart until we hit the limit. You can use code I-DENVERDATENIGHT for your credit!
🍇 Charcuterie boards really are the easiest dinner. Like…”you’re telling me all I have to do is just unwrap these things and put them on some wood and I’m done? Count me in”
Pro Tip: Make Home Made Ice Cream sandwiches! You won’t regret it!
We used @rebelbreaddenver sourdough for our board and their cookies for the sammies! Epic!
What’s going on your charcuterie board?!

Warning ⚠️
Don’t come for my Man, Jolene!
Warning # 2: This attraction is very much a “Enter at Your Own Risk” situation.
The structure was hand made by a single person over the course of 40+ years. He did all the metal and stone work himself.
As you can imagine, it’s a cool sight to see AND it’s probably not the safest experience.
Think:
- Spiral staircases with no railings
- Random missing floorboards
- Metal bridges that look like they could fall any moment
Pro Tip: they also sell hot dogs 🌭
You goin?!

DISCLAIMER 👇⚠️
We definitely don’t encourage rule breaking!
We had the most fun group date at @holeymoleygolf.usa and we’d definitely go back again (if we’re not banned for life).
Here’s what we loved about it
👩❤️💋👨 This place has Date Night written all over it. We saw tons of couples enjoying time together, laughing, drinking, etc! If you’re watching this Daters, we hope you got lucky!
⛳️ The golf course is leveled up with massive obstacles that are fun even just to walk around and look at! They have 27 total holes that you can fill with your golf balls!
🍹 The drinks are unique, delicious and boozy. We loved the glassware and the shareable options (perfect for Dates 😜)! The food was good and completely necessary after sipping cocktails during the front 9.
Truth Be Told: No actual rules were broken in the filming of this video. (Probably)

Add this to your list right now!
We’re almost certain that @voghera_apericena isn’t on your radar yet and it really needs to be! We went for a classic Wednesday Date Night this week and we were so impressed.
Here’s what we loved about it:
😍 The vibe is Dark & Moody in the best way. It has “let’s date here and get a little handsy under the table” written all over it.
🍝 Every Bite we had was one of those “oh my, I can’t wait to put more of that in my mouth” moments. We ordered too much but it was all worth it.
They offer a 4 course menu on Wednesdays and Thursdays that is $49/person. It’s definitely a great way to lots of things on the menu.
🇮🇹 Overall, the whole experience felt authentic in that “we just recently went to Italy and we bring it up in every conversation even though you don’t care and this makes us feel like we are back there” sort of way.
⭐️ On a Rating Scale this is a “I would take my parents here” which is one of the highest ratings we have for an Italian restaurant.
Add to your list! And go!
We were influenced to come here by @foodiewithabooty.denver and we’re so glad we took her advice!

Where is the Best Bakery In Denver?
@woodenspoondenver is our neighborhood bakery and holds a special place in our heart. Is it the best in Denver? Hard to say for sure.
🚶♂️We DID do a bakery crawl last year where we walked from @bakery.four to @goodbreaddenver and stopped at many (MANY) Bakeries in between.
👩🎓So…are we experts? Yes, probably.
🦵Also, we have amazing calves after all that walking.
Anyway, Wooden Spoon. 🥄
Amazing Pastries. 🥐
Incredible Breakfast Sandwiches. 🥚
Great Coffee. ☕️
Pro Tip: When you wake up next to your Date (nice work stud 😉), and you don’t know what to say, Just say “Hey, Let’s Go To The Wooden Spoon”. It’s less awkward than sitting through a whole brunch together.
And if you’re “Date” is your wife (nice work stud 😉), then let her sleep in for once and go grab coffee & pastries to have in Bed. She deserves it if she’s put up with you for this long.
Happy Dating, Studs!

An Epic New Collaboration 🤯
Starting today (3/1) you can now find @metaasiankitchen located inside of the incredible @honorfarmdenver (also, home to @hellorhightiki ). We can’t imagine a better duo/trio.
Meta Asian Kitchen has tons of amazing bites, including possibly the world’s best Mozz sticks. They’re also slingin desserts by @_notyomamascupcakes
@honorfarmdenver / @hellorhightiki are two of our favorite bars in the city. Always an incredible time, Always a ton of 🔥drinks (literally, so much fire). From time-to-time you can even catch @denverballoonguy creating insanely graphic balloons.
We’re obviously huge fans and you should be too!
Truly one of the most fun places in the city and Meta Asian Kitchen just brought it to a whole new level.
We’ll see ya there 🔥 🔥 🔥
#datenightdenver #denverdateideas #denverbars #denverasianfood #denversbestbites #denversbest #denvercocktails
And we’re barely scratching the surface…
@watercoursefoods is one of our go-to spots. They have so many incredible bites that keep us coming back for more. And they also happen to be:
🌱 Vegan
👩🍳 Scratch Made
👩🌾 Locally Sourced
What else do we love about this place? Glad you asked:
🖌️Incredible Vibe with tons of cool art.
🏳️🌈 A welcoming space for all communities
🥑 The food, obviously. Did you even see those nachos?
🧁 They’re also slingin desserts/baked goods by @makebelievebakery which were so good that we forgot to snap videos (we had cakes AND shakes)
Pro Tip: If you’re approaching vegan food expecting it to taste JUST LIKE meat, you’re doing it all wrong. Focus on flavors and whether or not you enjoy the taste. You’ll have a much better time if you do!
The bites at Watercourse are objectively delicious!
(Thanks for coming to our Ted Talk)
Have you been to Watercourse?
How does it rank on your Denver vegan restaurant list?

Chicago Style Thin Crust! 🍕
Did you know this even existed!?
Whether you’re familiar or not, @grabowskis_pizzeria is the place to go to get your hands on it and it’s seriously excellent.
It also makes for a perfect Casual Date spot. After all, who doesn’t like Pizza & Beer?
For those that aren’t familiar, the pizza is thin, crispy and SO delicious. It’s cut up into lots of small slices so you could have 10+ pieces and still feel great about yourself.
Pro Tip: The go-to move is to get this pizza with sausage and fennel (and maybe a little pepperoni too 😉). We opted for a classic cheese pie for this past visit due to our companions(👨👧👦👩👧👧), but can confirm that sausage is the way to go!
Have you tried out Grabowski’s? What toppings did you go for?

This May Be Our Favorite Date Yet 🧖♀️🧖♂️🍻
Have you been to @thebeerspa ?
It’s truly incredible. Let us tell you ALL about our experience:
🌹We opted for the Date Night Package (Duh!) which includes flowers, candles, chocolates and a $30 drink credit!
🛀 We hit the full spa circuit during our 90 minutes in the Beer Therapy (TM) room, which includes:
- 20 min in the Infrared Sauna
- A Cold Shower (About 10 seconds)
- A Warm Soak in the Hot Tub - Note the hot tub is not filled with Beer but instead is infused with hops & malted barley. I guess you could say it’s more like a Beer Tea 🤷🏼♀️ 🤷🏻♂️
- We then used all the amazing amenities to freshen up!
💆♀️💆♂️ We also added on 30 min in the Zero Gravity massage chairs #treatyoself We didn’t know what to expect for this part but we definitely were thinking “OK, How good could this possibly be?”.
The Answer: So F*ckn Good - To Be Honest, it might have even been the best part of the whole experience
🍻 We were sipping our drinks the entire time plus they’ll bring you refills at any point. Then, after all the services were complete, we hung out in the tap room “recovering”, sampling even more drinks and feeling AMAZING
Fun Fact: Neither of us are big Beer people (we know, we know, feel free to give us Sh*t). In addition to Beer, you can also sip wine, cider and a variety of non-alcoholic beverages!
Pro Tip: It’s recommended that you do the beer therapy room experience ‘au naturale’. That’s all we’ll say about that.
In Conclusion: One of the best dates we’ve ever been on!
Be sure to book your experiences in advance. This place is popular and time slots fill up fast!
