3 Creative Virtual Date Night Ideas for Couples in Chattanooga

Date nights are a vital part of any relationship, but social distancing doesn't have to dim the spark. Chattanooga offers plenty of virtual and contactless options for food, entertainment, and more to keep the romance alive.

Skip the endless cleaning and dive into this curated virtual date night experience we've assembled for you.

Step 1: Order Takeout or Delivery from Your Favorite Restaurant

For a sophisticated candlelit dinner at home with soft jazz, opt for upscale family-style to-go orders from St. John's (pickup or delivery), Il Primo, or Public House. Craving a cozy, casual vibe like a Netflix night? Go for Pizza Bro's or Champy's famous fried chicken, available for pickup or delivery.

Step 2: Select Your Entertainment

While strolling the Walnut Street Bridge isn't an option right now, a home movie night can be equally enchanting. Catch the Bobby Stone Film Series via Virtual Cinema, presented by the Tivoli Theatre and West Village. This historic venue brings top-tier films to your screen—check available titles here. For an interactive twist, join a virtual cooking class with the chefs at Davis Wayne's to master adult cocktails, kid-friendly mocktails, and chocolate-dipped bacon.

Step 3: Indulge in a Sweet Treat

Cap off the evening with dessert from a local favorite—no need to leave home. Julie Darling Donuts delivers via Uber Eats (or pickup) to satisfy your cravings, like their new Strawberry Cheesecake Donut. For something cooler, Clumpie's Ice Cream Co. offers $5 flat-rate delivery to Chattanooga locals. Try the seasonal Mint Julep flavor, ideal for spring.

This lineup promises an impressive date night. Get creative and make it your own! For more virtual family activities, explore #ConnectChatt. Happy dating!
