Get Sporty
You don’t have to be a sports fan to enjoy the atmosphere at a Toledo Walleye game. Take advantage of special theme nights, as well as game day promotions that offer collectible gifts to fans who arrive early, or postgame activities that keep the fun going after the last goal. With different seating options (rinkside, anyone?), you’re sure to have a great night out getting sporty with your sweetie.

Dine & Indulge
Explore one of the many great restaurants in downtown Toledo. Cozy up with a glass of wine and an artisan pizza at M Osteria, or make a reservation at Rockwell’s Steakhouse in the historic Oliver House, or visit the Brim House, the upscale restaurant at the new Renaissance Toledo Downtown Hotel.

Share a Cup
of Coffee
There’s nothing that says your date has to be limited to the evening/night hours. Anytime you can get away with your partner for some quality time is important— so consider starting your day at one of the many quaint coffee shops around town.
Grab a
Cold One
Sometimes it’s nice to have a casual night out with your date where you can enjoy a cold beer and good conversation. If this sounds like you, head to Fleetwood’s Tap Room in Hensville, which features 48 craft beers on draft, a wide selection of whiskeys, and an eclectic menu.
