Date Night in Downtown Fort Worth
Love is always in the air when you’re in the heart of the city. Whether it’s your first date or a standing tradition, Downtown Fort Worth sets the stage for a night to remember.
Start with a Stroll
Ease into the evening at the Fort Worth Water Gardens. With three unique pools, it’s a spot that feels both peaceful and cinematic. Share a quiet moment by the tranquil reflecting pool, or—if you’re feeling adventurous—make your way hand-in-hand down the steps into the dramatic “active pool.”
Toast to the Night
Set the mood with a drink at one of Downtown’s signature bars. Slip into Thompson’s Bookstore, a speakeasy tucked behind a bookshelf (check their Facebook for the nightly password to unlock the hidden lounge), or unwind with a craft cocktail at The Sterling Lounge. Beer lovers? Sample from more than 200 brews at Flying Saucer.
Dinner, Downtown Style
When in Fort Worth, steak is always on the menu. Choose from some of the city’s finest steakhouses, all within walking distance. Whether you go classic Texas or modern and upscale, you’ll find a table worth lingering at.
Entertainment Your Way
After dinner, take your pick:
- Big Laugh Comedy Club for a night of laughs.
- Scat Jazz Lounge for sultry live music in a candlelit, underground setting.
- The Rooftop Cinema Club makes movie night memorable. Reserve your seats for a stress-free, unforgettable experience.
Something Sweet
Cap off the night with a sweet treat as you wander through the Downtown streets. Share a cone at Melt Ice Creams, or indulge your inner child with oversized treats from IT’SUGAR.
Bonus: Make It an Event
