Dating in Virginia Beach

Dating in Virginia Beach can move easily from coffee to the outdoors. Start with Java Surf® Café & Espresso Bar, Fathom Coffee, Bad Ass Coffee, Baladi Mediterranean Cafe, Roast Rider Coffee Bar and Roastery, or Sunnyside for a low-key coffee shop meetup. If you want breakfast or a sandwich, the city’s cafe and coffee shop options make it easy to talk without a big production. Then let the outdoors carry the mood: Beach Garden Park, Marshview Park, Neptune's Park, Red Wing Park, and 24th Street Park give you simple places to walk and keep things relaxed.

For dinner, the range is wide enough for almost any couple. Taqueria Jessy's, Chanello's Pizza, Rick's Cafe, Union Alehouse, Tequila Jalisco Mexican Grill, El Mexsal, Beijing Palace, O Yummy Sushi, The Pizza Box, and Feather 'n' Fin cover Mexican, pizza, American, Chinese, Japanese, and sandwich options. Afterward, drinks at Barrel 17, Murphy's, or Repeal Bourbon and Burgers keep the night going. If you want culture or entertainment, try Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, The Old Coast Guard Station, Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum, Virginia Aquarium Marsh Pavilion, Beach Cinema Alehouse, The Dome, Family Fun Xperience Theatre, or 24th Street Stage.
