As locals know, this is the best time of year to do date
night on
I-Drive in Orlando! The weather is the perfect temperature for hand holding and snuggles, and the
attractions are just beginning to heat up! Here are 10 ideas for your next I-Drive Orlando date night. Better yet, combine some of
these activities and make it a night to remember!
1. Happy
Hour at Pointe Orlando
Longtime residents will remember when
Pointe Orlando first opened back in 1997. It was quite an
asset to I-Drive and now it’s even bigger and better! You and your partner will
find endless ways to enjoy a night out on the Pointe.
Start your Pointe Orlando date with Happy Hour! Listen to
live music, share a $5 plate such as Duck Confit Grilled Cheese, Fries Avocado
Stuffed with Crab Meat, and Portobello fries, and enjoy a glass of whiskey at
Itta Bena.
Try something different and make your date shout “Opa” at
Taverna Opa with 2-for-1 drinks, cheap appetizers, and half price cocktail pitchers.Sing
your praises and forget about your blues with $4 beer and wine and half off appetizers
at
BB Kings Blues Club.
Sip discount drinks and share plates at
Copper Canyon Grill.
Heat up and add a little spice to your night at
Cuba Libre with sangria, mojitos and bar bites! No matter your palette, there’s a happy
hour at Pointe Orlando to satisfy any craving!
2. Dinner
and Dancing at Mango’s Tropical Café
There’s
no where else on I-Drive like
Mango’s! At this nightclub, you can enjoy dinner and a show, and then dance the night
away to amazing Latin Beats! Plus, they often have celebrity guests. You never
know who will make an appearance so have those cameras ready to document your
night!
3. A
Dinner of Epic Proportions
Near,
far, wherever you are… you must flock to
Titanic – The Artifact Exhibit for a one-of-a-kind date. Only available on Fridays and Saturdays, make it the
date of all dates at the ever-impressive
Titanic Gala Dinner where you’ll be a guest at one of the most
famous dinner parties in history! This event will surely be "a night to
remember!"
4. Late
Night Fun at the Ice Bars
The
ICEBAR – is sure to heat up any date. Grab a
coat and be prepared to feel the chill. Both establishments are equipped with a
full bar to help heat you up and a warming room! Your date won’t know if the
tingle they’re feeling is from their love for you or their toes thawing out.
5. A
Night Out at City Walk
When
the tourists are away, the locals come to play at City Walk! Open until 2 am
every night, you can sing like a Rockstar at
City Walk’s Rising Star, sway to calming and rhythmic beats at
Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville, be transportated to Bourbon Street at
Pat O’Brien’s, or dance the night away with endless music and lights at
the groove’s multi-level dance club! You and your date will both feel like a VIP at
