Longmont is an up-and-coming town, transforming from an agricultural oasis to a hipster paradise. With tons of mom-and-pop eateries, outdoor adventures, and unique experiences, it’s an easy place to make an impression. To help your meetup be as memorable as possible, consider one of the following creative first-date ideas:
BrewHop Trolley
The BrewHop Trolley is a fun way to get to know your date without the pressure of one-on-one, intimate conversation. Whisking riders away on a guided tour, this trolley stops by various breweries, wine bars, and distilleries. It continues in a loop that allows riders to hop on and off at their favorite destinations.
Martinis Bistro
Martinis Bistro is a restaurant inside a modernized 1890s house. It offers a cozy, upscale ambiance and a menu full of eclectic American dishes. Focusing on meat and seafood, it specializes in New York strip steak, grilled pork chops, and ahi tuna. However, vegetarian dishes are also available.
Sugarbeet
Sugarbeet offers a casual-meets-intimate atmosphere and outdoor seating options (when the weather cooperates). It is an excellent place for a romantic get-together, and its menu includes upscale dishes such as mahi mahi, filet mignon, roasted pappardelle, and rack of lamb. With limited seating, reservations are highly recommended.
Left Hand Brewing
A staple of Longmont, Left Hand Brewing offers everything from a fun, hopping spot to grab a beer to brewery tours. If you want to engage in the former, you can choose from nitros, seasonal brews, and limited or year-round options. If you want to take your date on a tour, they take place on Saturdays and Sundays at 4 PM. Space is limited to 12 people, so arrive early to secure your spot.
Rabbit Mountain Open Space
Rabbit Mountain Open Space is one of the premier outdoor areas in Longmont and offers plenty of space to hike, bike, and explore niche dating experiences. It offers trails that range from easy to moderate and allows leashed dogs (if you could use a wingmutt). It’s occasionally closed for elk management, so check ahead before venturing out.
TeoCalli Cocina
Teocalli Cocina is a new eatery located on Main Street in Longmont. It pays homage to traditional Mexican cuisine with dishes that include quesadillas, ceviche, tacos, carnitas, carne asada, enchiladas, and churros. With an intimate and lively atmosphere, it’s a great place to get to know your date, people-watch, and enjoy a casual ambiance.
Regardless of the type of digital age date you’re looking for, Longmont can deliver. Choose from one of the above to help a terrific first date turn into many more.
