1Flahertys Arden Bowlshow more show lessBook a lane at the oldest, family-owned bowling business in the entire United States, and get ready for a night full of laughter and friendly competition. Bowling is an age-old classic date idea, and at Flahterys, you get the full experience – neon bowling balls with holes just a tad too big or too snug, slick Velcro bowling shoes, and wacky scoring screen graphics like a flying spaceship and racing rhino. Plus, you'll get to enjoy it all in a fun and casual atmosphere. Reservations aren't necessary, and it's $27.99 per lane per hour. This is about 3 full games for a couple on one lane. If arcade games or bingo are your jam, both are also an option – bingo is offered mostly on the weekends. You're sure to strike it big at Flaherty's with this date idea!

2The Tavern Grillshow more show lessIn Anoka Hills, you’ll find the Tavern Grill stacked with above-par pub grub and home to the build-your-own burger, pizza, salad, or Bloody Mary. After being seated inside or outside and checking out their great happy hour deals, get ready to make the biggest decision of the night: Burger, Pizza, or Salad. Here, you can build your own of each, so you know you’re getting exactly what you crave. We recommend the build-a-burger and build-a-pizza. Both have fully vegetarian-friendly options, including an impossible burger patty. Both dishes came out piping hot and were delivered by the friendliest of servers. The build-your-own cards are a great conversation starter, and there are also lots of TVs on with different sports games, making it a great spot to catch a major league game in the summer.

3Cheap Skate Roller Centershow more show lessKeep the good times rolling with Adults-only skating at Cheap Skate Roller Center in Coon Rapids. This place is a time capsule just waiting to be explored. For $14.49 per person (this rate includes a quad skate or in-line skate rental), hit the rink and skate below a shiny disco ball. Jive to the beats of a live DJ playing 80’s funk, 90’s R&B, and Hip-Hop, or watch from the sidelines as incredibly talented skate crews roll past in harmony with each other and the music. All adults 18+ of any skating ability level will surely have a blast here. Your ticket is good for 2.5 hours of skating, but feel free to leave whenever you’ve skated to your heart’s content.
