Looking for date ideas in Liverpool? Give one of these top places a try!

Alma De Cuba
Alma De Cuba is situated in what used to be St. Peter’s Church which first opened in 1788 so you can expect it to be spectacular.
As well as the fanciful food and drink on offer, there are regular events that take place throughout the week.
Tuesday and Thursday evenings play host to live music, Sundays include a live gospel choir singing you through your brunch.
If you’re looking for something a bit more lively, then head over on a Friday or Saturday night after 11pm as they bring out the carnival atmosphere with Samba dancers and excellent resident DJs.
Seel Street, Liverpool, L1 4BH

World Museum
For something a little different, head over to the World Museum which is full of fascinating displays from Egyptian mummies to a Planetarium. Check out the dinosaur casts, the live creepy crawlies in Bug House or get your hands on over 20,000 of the most unusual items in the Clore Natural History Centre.
There’s a coffee shop on the ground floor that serves hot and cold food and a café on the fifth floor which offers a wide range of food which you can eat whilst enjoying the views across the city. There is also a gift shop where you can grab a souvenir to remember your date!
William Brown Street, Liverpool, L3 8EN

Mersey Ferry
Taking the ferry across the Mersey is absolutely something you have to do in Liverpool so why not take a date with you?!
Most cruises are around 50 minutes long, but you get to see Liverpool from a completely different view point.
With stops at Pier Head, Seacombe and Woodside, you can  either disembark and check out what’s on offer, or carry on and do the full 50 minute tour.
If you get off at Pier Head, you can head over to Albert Dock and check out the Beatles Story, if you get off at Seacombe, you can check out Spaceport  – a star-filled attraction with the whole galaxy under one roof and if you get off at Woodside, there’s the U-boat Story  where you can discover what life was like on board a German World War II Submarine.
Also try the Dazzle Ferry for something a little different!
Boarding is available at Woodside, Pier Head or Seacombe Ferry Terminals

81Ltd
Known as Liverpool’s most secret bar, 81Ltd is an invite only venue based on a modern day speakeasy.
Your invitation is sent to you by text or email where you will receive a code for the front door of the bar – without it you’re not getting in!
There’s a huge selection of cocktails to choose from as well as a number of beers if that’s more your style.
Invites are for people ‘in the know’. Head over to their website for more details and opening times.
Seel St, Liverpool, Merseyside L1 4BB

Top 5 First Date Ideas In Newcastle

Newcastle

Looking for somewhere different for a first date in Newcastle? Try one of our top 5 places!

1. As You Like It
The wide range of food and drink on offer should entice the fussiest of people and its opulent décor and great ambience will have you coming back time and again.
Spread out over three floors, there’s plenty of room for a large number of guests or if the weather permits there’s also a garden terrace to enjoy the warm summer evenings.
Check out their calendar before you go as there is often live music – and with the likes of Beverley Knight having performed there, you’re sure to impress your date.
Open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays, there’s plenty of time to stay for a meal or pop in for a few drinks and with their delicious list of cocktails, you won’t want to leave!
Archbold Terrace, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, NE2 1DB

2. Lane 7
It’s not just about the bowling at Lane 7, as they take pride in the excellent food in their 75 seat restaurant. The menu is heavily focused on American dining with offerings such as hot dogs and burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, corn dogs and their famous smoked baby back ribs, smoked in their own smokery.
The drinks menu is an interesting mix of cocktails and milkshakes – which come “hard” (with alcohol) or “soft” (without alcohol), so whether you come for lunch or a night out, they have everything covered.
To keep you busy either before or after you’ve eaten, there are 10 bowling lanes, 4 American pool tables, two ping pong tables, two beer pong tables (yes, you read that right!) and a private karaoke room to choose from so you certainly won’t be bored!
There are also a wide range of ever changing activities on offer in their basement including mini golf, big screens and short tennis.
80-90 Saint James’ Boulevard, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 4BN

3. River Escapes
Based right in the city centre, on Newcastle Quayside next to Gateshead Millennium Bridge, River Escapes offers three different sight-seeing cruises (all with commentary) where you can relax with a drink and/or snack from the on-board bar.
If you are looking for something a bit more lively, then the party nights might be more your style. There are four types of party nights; two include a buffet and one, called a Barbeque Cruise, which speaks for itself!
The party nights set sail from the quayside, travel under the Millennium Bridge, right out to the mouth of the river where you can catch the spectacular views out on deck or party the night away at the disco inside.
So whether you’re looking for a quiet date where you can see the sights of Newcastle or you’re looking for something a bit more upbeat, River Escapes has something for everyone… If you like boats that is!
East Quayside Pontoon, Newcastle Quayside, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 3DX

4. Exit Newcastle
For a totally unusual and quirky date, head over to Exit, a live game situation where groups of 2 or more are locked in a series of rooms with the objective of escaping within an hour.
To find your way out you’ll need to complete a variety of challenges and follow a number of clues that direct you through the game which if completed correctly and quickly enough will allow you to find the exit!
This is a date that will make you work together as a team giving you the perfect opportunity to get to know each other and find out how compatible you are.
Games are changed every so often so if you enjoy yourself, keep an eye out to see when new games are added.
67a Westgate Road, Newcastle, NE1 1SG

5. Sage
Located in Gateshead Quays, on the south bank of the river Tyne, Sage is one of the North’s best concert venues and centre for musical education.
Hosting concerts from a wide range of internationally famous artists and musicians, from the likes of Badly Drawn Boy to Gladys Knight, from Lord of the Dance to Diversity, there’s sure to be something you want to see!
Sage also plays host to a number of music workshops so why not learn a new instrument or be a part of a choir for a day – jump in and try something new!
Saint Mary’s Square, Gateshead Quays, Gateshead NE8 2JR
