When you meet a potential partner on a dating app for liberals, you want to make sure that the date ideas are a good fit for the other person’s interests. Fortunately, creative first-date ideas aren’t hard to come by in Colorado Springs. From the vibrancy of downtown to the outdoor activities, the Springs spring all sorts of possibilities. Whether you’re in the mood for food or fitness, grab your partner and consider the following:
Peppertree Restaurant
The Peppertree Restaurant has been a staple in Colorado Springs for four decades. Known for its panoramic views of downtown, exceptional food, and tabletop preparation, it’s regarded as one of the best places in the region for those who love steak and fine wine. It might be a bit fancy for a first date, but it’s a good option for those who want to go all out.
Lumen8 Rooftop Social
The Lumen8 Rooftop Social sits atop the Element and SpringHill Suites in downtown Colorado Springs. It’s a coveted spot for those seeking versatile and inventive dishes, panoramic views, a festive ambiance, and a great people-watching experience. Open for brunch, lunch, dinner, and dessert, it makes a refreshing date spot no matter the time of day.
Odyssey Gastropub
The Odyssey Gastropub offers innovative lunch and dinner selections. Summoning the spaghetti scene from Disney’s Lady and the Tramp, it is the ideal spot for shareable food (including Korean lettuce cups and jalapeno honey pork bites). Odyssey also offers a wide selection of microbrews, whiskeys, bourbons, and wines.
Pikes Peak
Pikes Peak is one of Mother Nature’s most crowning achievements; it’s made up of 14,000 feet of elevated excellence and is rumored to be the inspiration behind the song “America the Beautiful.” There are a few ways for Pikes Peak to pique your date’s interest; you can drive up in a personal vehicle or take the Pikes Peak Cog Railway. You can also hike up alongside your potential partner, although going the entire way takes tons of endurance and the whole day (perhaps requiring more commitment than a first date warrants).
Garden of the Gods
Garden of the Gods is a National Natural Landmark close to Colorado Springs and has a stellar niche dating experience. It’s packed with exquisite views, sandstone rocks, and many things to do. Consider biking, hiking, rock climbing, horseback riding, or a jeep or segway tour. Of course, you can also enter the park and simply explore Colorado’s beauty.
From dynamic dinner spots to Mother Nature marvels, dating in the digital age is easy in Colorado Springs. Try one of the above to ensure your first date turns into a second one.
