As locals know, the options to pick from for a date night on
I-Drive are endless! If you are ready for hand holding and snuggles, know that these attractions are just beginning to heat up! Here are 10 date night ideas on I-Drive. 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. 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
Did you know we have an ice bar on International Drive Orlando?
ICEBAR will heat up any date. Grab a coat and be prepared to feel the chill. This establishment is 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 know to come 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 transported 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 CityWalk!
6. Laugh Until You Can’t Laugh Any Harder
Laughter makes the heart grow fonder so take your date out for a night on the town at
Orlando Improv! Comedians from all walks of life hit the stage – regardless of who you see you’re going to have a great time laughing! Oh, and they have food too so come hungry!
7. Putt Around
8. Dine and Wine
9. Eye Spy a Sweet Surprise
There’s nothing quite like a date at
Icon Park, home of The Wheel! Not only does this outdoor mall offer free parking (YES!), you’ll find all sorts of fun things to do without hitting the main attractions. Sip beer and listen to live music at
Tin Roof Orlando or enjoy delicious eats at
Yard House and
Uncle Julios!
If you want to make date night even sweeter, stop by
Sugar Factory for a goblet, monster shake, or another sweet treat. If you’re feeling extraordinarily festive, hunker down for the King Kong Sundae and spend the night eating ice cream and sharing stories!
