Dating in Atlanta
Dating in Atlanta can feel easy to shape around a simple plan: coffee first, then a walk. Start with a coffee shop like Dancing Goats Coffee, Spiller Park Specialty Coffee, or Condesa Coffee, or try a bubble tea stop from the guide. For a daytime date, pair that with an outdoor spot such as Midtown Green, Historic Fourth Ward Park, Center Hill Park, or Pershing Point Park. If you want something more playful, add the Children's Museum of Atlanta, Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA), or Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. The goal is low-pressure conversation with room to keep going if it's going well.
For evening, Atlanta gives you plenty of dinner-and-drinks combinations. Go for american, burger, or pub fare at The Vortex Bar & Grill, Cypress Street Pint and Plate, or Publik Draft House; try mexican at Rreal Tacos, Chiringa, or El Valle Kitchen And Bar; or settle in for barbecue at Lewis Barbecue and drinks at Bold Monk Brewing Co. or The Independent. Then pick entertainment: Fox Theatre, Variety Playhouse, Shakespeare Tavern, Dad's Garage, Laughing Skull Lounge, Plaza Theatre, or Starlight Drive-in. Add culture at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, Margaret Mitchell House, Carter Presidential Library, or Woodruff Arts Center. A date can be as casual or as planned as you want.
