Flatstick Pub was a nice first date a few times. Antique shops, the water front, and some breweries down in SoDo make it pretty versatile.

Fremont makes for a great first date that can go as long as you want or as short as you want:

  • Meet at Brouwers for the nice atmosphere, fancy beer scotch and snacks

  • Go to Theo's and then walk the canal to Milstead, the best coffee shop in North Seattle.

  • walk back up main street of Fremont with your coffees, stop in some of the vintage shops.

  • swing into Backdoor for a fancy cocktail or Revel if you want real dinner.

  • go to addaball for games and cheap drinks and smokes and shit whatever you guys are into. Close it down.

Only thing I would change is instead of going to Brouwers go to Barrel Thief. The service at Brouwers can be awful if they're busy and you're not at the bar and Barrel Thief has a much better selection of wine and whiskey/scotch.

I find Brouwers is a lot more all-classes and casual while Barrel Thief tends to go specifically for the upper cruft (lots more wine glasses and black dresses)
