1.Vibe together with Live Music
2. Play together at The Painted Duck
This experience offers a good time with bowling, music, food and drinks. The Painted Duck is great hang out spot for millennial couples both day and night- especially on the weekend. It’s like an adult version of Main Event. You’ll also find other free games to keep you entertained while you wait for a bowling lane. It’s spacious enough to host group outings with other couple friends too. Plan ahead because it can get packed but it’ll be worth the wait.
3. Taste Atlanta together
Plan a date trying something new. There are many cuisines to taste in Atlanta from soul food, Asian fusion, Latin American , traditional wings and burgers and more. A few suggestions to check out while in Atlanta are Punch Bowl Social, Twisted Soul, Gosha Breakfast Bar, Mojave and The Pig and The Pearl.
4. Relax together with a couples massage
Our lives can be filled with projects, tasks and goals on a day to day basis. Especially for couples who are building together. This type of date allows you to pull away from life’s demands even for a moment. It’s beneficial for both you and your BAE. Given you have a dope massage therapist, any tension and stress within your body will be released. I suggest looking up massage locations near you. Read their reviews on Yelp. Look comments on their therapists to see if you can request a specific person. Not all therapist are really good at what they do, just being honest…
5. Admire art together

Two very different experiences that offers you an opportunity to appreciate art and history. For more museum options check them out here.
