Dating in Fresno
A Fresno date can start simply: coffee or tea at Component Coffee, Tower Tea, Kuppa Joy, Sacred Heart Coffee, Alchemist Coffee Lab, Mirror Coffee, Tiger Boba, Seventea, Frida Cafe, or Isla Tea Lounge. From there, pick an outdoor stop like Trolley Park, Hobart Park, Courthouse Park, Dicky Playground, Holmes Playground, Romain Park, Smith Playground, Bigby Park, Euless Park, or Hinton Park. If you want culture, Spectrum Gallery, A Sense Of Place, Fresno Discovery Center, Armenian Heritage Museum, The Archive on Kern, Downtown Artist Gallery, Fig Tree Gallery, Corridor 2122, Silva Salazar Studios, or Meux Home Museum can shape the afternoon. The pace is flexible: coffee shop, tea, bubble tea, a walk, then a gallery.
Evening dates lean on dinner, drinks, and entertainment. For dinner, choose Mediterranean at Fresno Kabob or Gus Kabob, sushi or Japanese at Umi Sushi, On A Roll Sushi, or Toshiko Ramen & Sushi Bar, Mexican at Mariscos El Barba Negra or Dab Tacos, or American at GG's Food Factory or Rocco's Eats. Mezcal Lounge also gives a dinner option. Afterward, drinks can be at Tioga-Sequoia Beer Garden, Modernist Craft Cocktail Bar, Bespoke, Vibez Lounge, Splash Bar, Lucy's Lounge, Moses McQueen's, Sanctuary Fresno, Strummer's Bar & Grill, or The Howlin Wolf. For a show, Warnors Theatre, Tower Theatre, Saroyan Theatre, 2nd Space Theatre, Roger Rocka's Dinner Theater, Hardy's, or Wilson Theatre can close the night.
