Get your game on at the GameTime barcade

What’s a barcade, you ask? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like! The barcade in Ocoee at GameTime features over 100 classic and new video games so you can get your retro vibe and your drink on. Featuring a full service bar with liquors and beers, their restaurant also offers appetizers and full entrees.

When you’re tired of the arcade, take a seat at the sports bar and catch your favorite team. Or try your hand at the mini bowling alley and stop by the other attractions. GameTime is the perfect place for fun date nights where you and your partner can act like kids again!

Test your critical thinking with an escape room

Escape rooms are all the rage these days and for good reason! They’re an exciting way to experience something new and work together to get through it – the perfect combination for date nights.

Escape Goat in Winter Garden offers 4 different rooms to choose from, including Area 51, Camp Echo, The Quest, and a Fisherman’s Tale. All rooms are private so you can work with your partner without strangers around. So go ahead and plan a night to bond by putting your minds together to get out of a jam.

Do date nights on a dime with free bluegrass concerts

For over 22 years, bluegrass players have been meeting in a strip mall parking lot to jam together and offer free concerts to the public.

With decades of experience, this idea for your date nights is not only unique, it’s absolutely free. Grab a chair and plan to head over to the southeast corner of Route 50 and Maguire Road on Fridays around 6:30.
