Date night can mean a lot of things. Maybe it’s getting dressed up for dinner, splitting a few plates over cocktails, catching live music, or turning a night out into a little getaway. Whatever your version of a good night looks like, we’re here for it.
At by Landmark, there are plenty of ways to shake up your usual dinner-and-a-movie routine. Here are a few of our favorite ways to make a night out feel a little more special.
The “Let’s Dress Up” Date
There’s something about getting ready for a night out that makes it feel like an occasion.
Put on the outfit you’ve been saving, order the bottle of wine, and make dinner the main event. Whether you’re going for steak, pasta, seafood, or something you’ve never tried before, this is the date for lingering over the last bite and ordering dessert just because.
Bonus points: Take a photo together before you leave the house. You’ll thank us later.
The “Just One Drink” Date
You know the one.
You’re only going out for one drink, and suddenly it’s three hours later.
Start at the bar with a cocktail, order a few snacks to share, and see where the night takes you. It’s low-pressure, easy, and honestly one of our favorite ways to catch up.
The Dinner + Live Music Date
Dinner is great. Dinner with a soundtrack is better.
Plan your night around live music and make an evening of it. Grab dinner, stay for another drink, and enjoy the music without having to rush anywhere.
It’s especially good for those nights when you want to go out but don’t necessarily want to plan an entire itinerary.
The “Let’s Try Something New” Date
Skip your usual order.
Try a dish you’ve never had, order the cocktail you can’t pronounce, or split a few things so you can taste a little bit of everything.
The best part about this date is that there’s really no way to do it wrong. Worst case? You discover what you don’t like. Best case? You find your new favorite.
The Waterfront Date
Dinner with a view just hits differently.
Head to the waterfront, grab a table, and let the scenery do the rest. Sunset, cocktails, good food, and your favorite person? Pretty hard to beat.
And yes, you’re absolutely allowed to take a million pictures of the skyline.
The “Make It a Weekend” Date
Who says date night has to end at 10 p.m.?
Turn dinner into a little escape and stay overnight. Wander around town, grab coffee the next morning, do a little shopping, and pretend you’re tourists for the weekend.
Sometimes getting away doesn’t require getting very far.
The Foodie Date
For the couples who plan their entire night around what they’re going to eat.
Order a few things for the table. Try each other’s dishes. Debate which appetizer wins. Order dessert even though you’re completely full.
This is not the date for saying, “I’m not that hungry.”
The Spontaneous Date
No reservations. No elaborate plans. Just pick a place, get in the car, and figure it out as you go.
Maybe you end up at dinner. Maybe you stay for drinks. Maybe you stumble into live music or decide to keep the night going somewhere else.
Sometimes the best dates are the ones you didn’t overthink.
The “We Deserve This” Date
No anniversary. No birthday. No special occasion.
Just because.
Because you don’t actually need a reason to get dressed up, order something delicious, spend a few hours together, and make a regular Tuesday feel a little less regular.
Whatever your date-night style, make it yours.
The best part? by Landmark has something for every mood and every occasion. Whether you’re planning a dressed-up dinner, a casual night at the bar, live music with cocktails, or a little getaway, there’s always a way to make your next date night your own.
