5 Date Night Ideas in Raleigh

February 5, 2021


Valentine's Day is around the corner and while this year may look a little different, there are still some great local options for date night. 



1. Axe Throwing | Crazy Axe Raleigh 

3141 Capital Blvd Ste 110 | Raleigh NC 27604 | (919) 900-8625

Crazy Axes is a locally owned axe-throwing venue, where couples can enjoy a unique night out while sipping on beer or wine.  We gave it a try recently and it makes for a really fun time with some friendly competition.  Masks are required and capacity is limited.  1-hour time slots must be reserved in advance HERE.


2.  Pizza & Beer | Bowstring Brewyard & Pizza

1930 Wake Forest Rd., | Raleigh, NC 27608

We love hanging out at Bowstring Brewyard! The atmosphere is hip yet casual, and they provide a number of board games and lawn games to enjoy while munching on Vic's Pizza or sampling one of many delicious craft beers and cocktails.  


3. Movie Night | Alamo Drafthouse Cinema

2116-D New Bern Ave, | Raleigh, NC 27610  | (984) 444-6620

Whether you want to have a night at the movies or a cozy night at home, Alamo has you covered!  Alamo has limited their seating by closing off seats in between parties, checks temperatures at the door and requires masks. 


4. Bowling & Arcade | Stars & Strikes Bowling Alley

4020 Capital Blvd | Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 | 678-965-5707

Raleigh's newest entertainment center featuring 2 different bowling alleys, laser tag, an arcade, bumper cars, along with a full restaurant and bar. We love all the attractions at Stars & Strikes.  Pick up an unlimited game pass or take advantage of one of their deals here.  


5. Daytime Scavenger Hunt | Search in the City 

Try something new! Grab a coffee from one of our amazing local coffee shops, hop in the car with your boo and download a scavenger hunt of the city from Search in the City for a unique date exploring new sites. Select and download your scavenger hunt HERE.
