Visit the Adults Playground: The Pointe

Want to spice up your average, mundane date night? Then get to The Pointe—the ultimate playgroup for Orlando adults. And with an abundance of themed restaurants and lively late-night bars, there is no right way to spend an evening at the Pointe Orlando.

Want a good laugh? Grab dinner, and drinks, then catch an improv show at The Orlando Improv Comedy Theater. For those competitive couples, ditch the improv show and play a round of bowling at Main Event. Whatever date night activity you choose to do, we guarantee your night will be anything but ordinary at The Pointe.

Grab Drinks at Tin Roof

The Tin Roof is an I-Drive bar serving up dinner, drinks, and nightly live music—all the ingredients needed to make for the perfect date night spot for music lovers. Come for the weekly happy hour (Monday through Friday, 4 PM—6 PM) and stay for the music. And with two venues under one roof, you get to pick which side of music you want to get down to.

If your date night is flexible, we recommend keeping an eye on their website for upcoming themed nights and events like Nashville Hits the Roof, Derby Day at The Roof, and Drag Bingo.
