Exciting places for Chicago singles to go on a date

At EliteSingles we are so confident our members will meet their match, we added a few more date ideas for Chicago’s singles. Some dates are a casual party for two, or maybe you even joining a group activity and meeting their friends for the first time. Here’re some fun ideas to step up a date in Chicago.

If you want to meet for a drink why not go to Arbella for classy cocktails, an appetizing menu and tasteful setting with high ceilings and eye-catching murals. It’s an impressive choice to kick off the first date. On a different note, choose a comedy club – it’s totally Chicago and practically part of the lifestyle. Two of our favorites are the iO Theatre and Second City, where stars such as Tina Fey, Bill Murray and Steve Carell all launched their careers. Laughter goes a long way breaking the ice!

Being in nature is also a great way to turn up the romance. Come rain or shine, the Garfield Park Conservatory is a beautiful, green backdrop to set the scene for a date. Or do something daring and spend the afternoon at Brooklyn Boulders climbing, with all the equipment you need available for hire. What better way to see if you click then taking part in activities together! And it’s a good way to take the pressure off when you’re meeting each other’s friends. Or if you’re looking for a fun and free option, try a stroll in one of the City’s many beautiful parks or take in the sparkling sights and sounds of the Chicago Riverwalk.

If you want to make it a big event or keep it casual, there’s an option for you. And whether it’s your first or third date, if you’re a busy professional trying to fit in a drink or maybe a more social occasion, when choosing your date destination consider the appropriate setting and activity to suit your lifestyle and preferences.

Chicago Dating in Winter

Blame the northerly winds – winter here certainly lets you know when it arrives! A major part of surviving ‘‘Chiberia’’ with your love-life intact is planning indoor dates. With Chicago boasting some of the finest, the Art Institute of Chicago makes for an interesting and world-class winter date option. And if art isn’t your preference, choose The Field Museum for a remarkable collection of natural history exhibitions.

Of course, the brave Chicago singles who risk an outdoor date will soon find that has perks too: try a snowy stroll along the lakefront or take your date ice skating at McCormick Tribune Ice Rink. Just be sure to warm up afterward with a Glüwein from Daley Plaza’s Christkindl market!
Chicago Dating in Summer

By the time Memorial Day rolls around, most Chicagoans are ready for sun. A classic summer-in-Chicago move is spending an afternoon at a ballgame with your date: think soft pretzels, beer, and sunshine (Note: for the sake of compatibility, it’s always wise to check ahead of time if they’re a Cubs or a Sox fan – couples have broken up over less!).

Another great summer date is to get out on the water. Try a sunset architecture cruise with the likes of Chicago’s First Lady; not only is it a great way to explore the city, the view from the boat is an excellent conversation starter, perfect for Chicago singles who get tongue-tied on first dates.
Chicago Cuisine

Deep dish, donuts, Bloody Marys… When it comes to cuisine, Chicago’s approach can be best summed up with one word: delicious. And this means that the city is bursting with great foodie date ideas. Shake up the traditional date and meet for brunch at Walton Street Kitchen + Bar – feast on their double stack blueberry pancakes for a delightful start to the day! And if it goes well, move across to the lounge for a drink.

If a dinner date is on the menu, we suggest making a reservation at Bistro Champagne for a dreamy, romantic setting inspired by the tradition of the French bistro. The charming gem is a hot spot for romance with soft lighting, lush plants and stylish décor!
