Everyone’s idea about the perfect date is different. In the end, all that matters is that it’s the ideal date for the couple, whether it goes exactly as planned or if there are a few spontaneous moments that ignite that spark. Either way, these date night ideas in Wilmington, DE are great places to start on your journey for love.

1. Makers Alley

For a chill, relaxed vibe to share some laughs over a few pints of draft beer, head over to 804 Orange Street. This laid-back beer garden has a fenced-in outdoor yard with comfortable seating and a quirky 1964 Airstream converted into a kitchen. Beer connoisseurs will dazzle their dates with drinks like the Downeast Peach Mango Unfiltered Cider and the Cape May Mango Crushin’ It IPA.

They also have happy hours that vary by day. Alcohol is only intended for adults of legal drinking age. Please remember to drink responsibly and in moderation, and never drink and drive.

2. The Melting Pot

You can’t go wrong with a fancy fondue for the first date. Hop in your 2023 Lexus UX 250H Premium and park at 1601 Concord Pike Ste 43-47 for one of the finest fondue establishments in Delaware. Enchant your date with creamy cheeses and savory chocolates with fresh ingredients to dunk into the delicious drippings.

3. Hummingbird to Mars

Mesmerize your partner with a time-traveling experience back to the days of refinement and sophistication. Located at 1616 Delaware Ave, this hidden gem is reminiscent of the elegant yet lively speakeasies of the 1920s. Even their name is a play on the prohibition rhetoric of the time, and the stylish decor will truly make you feel like you’re a part of something big.

Share a plate of Parmesan Truffle Frites or Warm Olive Hummus with pita chips while you peruse their classic cocktail menu with options like the Vieux Carre Cocktail and the Dark and Stormy.

4. Bowlero 

For something a little more interactive, head over to the arcade and bowling alley at 3214 Kirkwood Hwy. This restaurant and game hub has many ways to enjoy time spent together, including a full sports bar equipped with TVs, and an arcade room with dozens of old-school and modern favorites like Mario Cart and World’s Largest Pac-Man. With 52 bowling lanes and an on-site pro shop, you’re sure to find what you need to make it a memorable time.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, choose from mouthwatering options like the Super Cheesy Burger, the Cluckin’ Chicken Sandwich, or the Fire Roasted Pepperoni Flatbread.

Once you’ve bonded over a game of Pac-Man or fed each other strawberries dipped in chocolate fondue, swing by Lexus of Wilmington to see what’s new.
