Our Picks for the Best Date Ideas in San Francisco


By Jane Gauger

If you’re on the lookout for creative experiences to treat your significant other, our date ideas in San Francisco will have you going off the beaten path. Dinner and drinks make a nice night out, but you can turn things up a notch with an engaging cooking class in a chef’s kitchen or a cocktail workshop with a master mixologist.

Whether you want to plan a special night with your partner or you need first date ideas, these workshops won’t let you down.

Cook up something delicious

Make a meal together on your next date night in San Francisco.

Take advantage of San Francisco’s culinary culture with a food adventure you’ll both appreciate. Drink wine, have great conversations, and make paella with a Spanish cooking class. Or make Chinese dumplings from scratch with an expert. Not only will you bond over amazing recipes but you’ll also have fun meeting new people and sharing a meal. This two-in-one experience makes it a top pick if you're searching for the best SF date ideas to share with your favorite person. 

Make cocktails with your date at our mixology classes in San Francisco.

Elevate your cocktail game

Have a blast learning mixology on your next date night.

Instead of waiting to get good seats at a crowded, noisy bar try a mixology class and create your own cocktails. With the guidance of an experienced bartender, you’ll learn some classic cocktail recipes and some trendy new drinks too. This is a great way to delve into ingredients, learn about different spirits, and find out which flavor profiles you enjoy the most. This is a bar outing you won’t regret and you’ll love being able to recreate these drinks at home.

Connect with a woodworking class

Try a woodworking class for your next date night.

If you or your date love getting crafty, try a San Francisco woodworking class. This is a great hands-on activity to learn a new hobby or just dabble in something fun. You can choose to make something simple but useful like a beautiful handmade cutting board or go all in and make a side table with the help of a local woodworker. No matter what you choose to make, you’ll have an amazing time and leave with a handmade project you can display in your home.

Go with the flow and try fluid art

Our creative workshops in San Francisco are fun date night ideas.

Want to try an activity that lets your inner artist shine? Or maybe you aren’t sure of your actual artistic skills? When you take a fluid art class, you get the chance to explore a fascinating medium without needing advanced painting or drawing skills. You’ll use acrylic paint and pour your chosen colors over surfaces to swirl and flow into a unique work of art. If you’re looking for first date ideas in San Francisco, this is a low-pressure way to spend time getting to know each other while you do something fun.

Get closer to nature while making a terrariumLearn how to make a terrarium for your next date night in SF.

Are you both nature lovers? If you want to bring more greenery indoors, a terrarium making class is a nice way to hang out and get creative. You’ll choose the plants, decorations, and vessels to make a personalized mini garden while learning important plant care advice from your instructor. The best part of building a terrarium is knowing how easy it is to care for your plants and that you’ll be able to enjoy their beauty for a long time. Every time you see your terrarium in a window or bookshelf, you’ll have a reminder of your date night.

Take advantage of all kinds of creative and unique experiences in San Francisco by trying a hands-on workshop for date night. Every class is interactive and great for beginners. All you have to do is show up ready to have a blast with your partner.
