Jan 12, 2024

Call the babysitter and book your reservations! Check out this curated list of date night ideas in the vibrant city of Austin for your next night on the town: 


1. Try a New Restaurant


Dining out is a classic date idea for a reason, it never fails! Check out Austin’s culinary scene with upscale restaurants such as J. Carver’s Oyster Bar & Chophouse to enjoy refined wood-fired steaks, seafood delicacies, and an impressive wine list. Or visit award-winning Emmer & Rye for a seasonally inspired culinary experience featuring a revolving menu and nightly dim sum specials.


2. Drive-in Movie


You can visit the Blue Starlite Mini Urban Drive-in for double features of indie films, cult classics and childhood favorites on the big screen. Or enjoy sip-worthy beer and wines under the sky at Doc's Drive-In Theatre just south of the city. To watch new movies with a stunning skyline view, head over to Moonstruck Drive-In Cinema.


3. Play a Round of Mini-golf


Indulge in some friendly competition with a round or two of mini-golf. Experience the whimsy of Austin's indoor putt-putt scene at The Dirdie Birdie or enjoy a nostalgic game at Peter Pan Mini-Golf, an Austin favorite since 1946. Another option is the nearby Butler Park Pitch & Putt, a fun 9-hole par 3 course that's been open since 1948.


3. Hike in Austin’s Scenery


Explore Austin's natural beauty with a hike along one of its scenic trails. The Barton Creek Greenbelt offers almost 13 miles of trails, including views of Sculpture and Twin Falls, making it one of Texas' top-rated hiking spots. Alternatively, take a leisurely stroll along the 10-mile Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail at Lady Bird Lake, offering picturesque views of Austin’s skyline.


4. Visit a Brewery or Winery


Complete your date night adventure by sampling local spirits, wine, and brews. Still Austin Whiskey, known for its on-site food trucks, offers a spacious patio to enjoy distilled on-site whiskeys and gins. Wine enthusiasts can explore the new Austin location of Wine for the People, while those interested in 100% Texas-grown grapes can savor the wines offered by C.L. Butaud. Lastly, Easy Tiger provides a relaxed atmosphere for an all-afternoon affair.


Austin has all the ingredients for a perfect night out, making it an ideal destination for parents looking to enjoy some quality time together. It's just one of the many perks of living in Carillon!
