Find the Best Date Spots in Jacksonville

Make Your Reservations at These Date Spots in Jacksonville

Dating is hard enough, especially if it's your first time meeting someone. The last thing anyone wants to worry about is finding a place to go that will allow you to get to know a person without it feeling too intimate or too crowded. We've come up with the perfect list of places to go on a first date near our Jacksonville apartments

Secret Tiki Temple

This eclectic, speakeasy-esque restaurant exudes fun and  relaxing vibes. The lighting and unique drink options make for a funky atmosphere that will be way more entertaining than your average chain restaurant. Be sure to make reservations and keep a lookout for a secret code via text that allows you to bypass the restaurant and into the mysterious tiki temple.

The Comedy Zone

Being entertained by a comedian in a room full of people laughing will help ease any nerves that come along with first dates. Check out a show at The Comedy Zone and watch local or more well-known comics tear up the stage. They also have daily drink specials, a full bar, and food. What better way to get over any first-date awkwardness than laughing together?

Riverside Arts Market

Take a stroll through Riverside Arts Market on a beautiful Saturday morning. Art fairs are the perfect place to have a first date due to the amount of fun things to do. Check out local food vendors, taste local beer, browse the large selection of artists and their unique work, listen to live music—the list goes on. Not to mention, attending these markets supports the community as well as small businesses.

We hear pickleball is also a lighthearted way to have fun with a date. If you want to live closer to the best of our city, including all these destinations, contact us. We’d love to take you on a tour to show you everything our Jacksonville apartments have to offer.
