Paint & Party UK

Make date night a creative one and book a spot at one of Paint & Party UK's numerous events across the city. Venues like The Abbey Hotel and LEAF on Smithdown play host to workshops where you can get stuck in together. Master your way around dry clay in a sculpt and socialise affair, paint a spring blossom scene on a canvas, or decorate your own wine glass from just £20 each. 

Lane7 Liverpool

First date jitters? Ease them by opting for an activity that's bound to break the ice (and not hearts). Lane7 is your one-stop destination for all things gaming, from graffiti-adorned ten-pin bowling alleys to a selection of arcade classics. Treat your beau to some quality 'za from Pizza Punks before hitting the ping-pong, then after, head to the bar for a quirky cocktail like the raspberry flavoured Drumstick, served with the lolly itself.

Cains Brewery

If you fancy grabbing a drink on your date, Cains Brewery is the ideal watering hole. Not only will you be able to try out some hoppy delights together from its taps, but the rustic interiors are ideal for those chilled vibes. Craving more? There's also a bottomless tour.

Moonshine Saloon Liverpool: Western Cocktail Experience

@ Moonshine Saloon on Various dates from Friday 19th April 2024

Woo them on a first date with tickets to Moonshine Saloon Liverpool: Western Cocktail Experience, as nothing says romance like getting involved in a covert liquor operation. Led by Clyde Cassidy, an incredibly wanted man, you'll have to stay tight-lipped when the Sheriff begins his questioning, or you'll derail the whole entire plan. Rub shoulders with outlaws, deal cards and enjoy four bespoke cocktails whipped up by world-class mixologists with the spirits you successfully smuggle in. 

Alcotraz Liverpool: Cell Block Three-Six

@ Alcotraz Penitentiary: Liverpool on Various dates from Thursday 18th April 2024

If there's a way to break the ice, it's a night behind bars at Alcotraz: Cell Block Three-Six. This immersive prison cocktail experience will have you both putting on orange jumpsuits and sneaking in liquor past the guards or warden, where it will then be used to make delicious bespoke pours.

Manolo

A speakeasy with a Caribbean twist, Manolo is the perfect first date bar. Head inside for a tongue-tantalising range of cocktails, from a bacon 'n' maple old fashioned to a tequila-laced Roots of Agave made with carrot and pineapple foam.

Salt House Tapas

Salt House Tapas has firmly established itself as one of Liverpool's best tapas restaurants with a talented team of chefs creating authentic dishes that are perfectly enhanced by the restaurant's fab wine collection. Relax, unwind and enjoy some mouthwatering food while getting to know that special someone.
