What was originally a mortuary is now one of Denver's hottest restaurants with one of the best views of the city. It's a great first date spot (be sure to request a table by the window to enjoy the view) thanks to the tasty food and whimsical touches (your bill comes delivered to you on an old toe tag). Linger is also located near the historic Navajo Street Arts District, where you and your date can wander the art galleries, grab a drink at the oldest Italian restaurant in Denver (Patsy's Inn) or check out a show at the historic Bug Theatre. For an impressive first date, a meal at Linger and a stroll along this artistic block is sure to make a great impression.

Located in the basement of the iconic clock tower in Downtown Denver, Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret is always a great place for a date. You'll find a myriad of different types of shows to catch here, from burlesque to comedy to vaudeville and more. The room itself is also beautifully decorated, with lots of rich fabrics and plenty of romantic candlelight. You can enjoy a whole night in this beautiful club, or you can start earlier and wander the 16th Street Mall for a drink or two before heading to Lannie's. The monthly events change often, so it's another great spot you can visit again and again for something new.
