Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and whilst some of you lads might be hoping for a chilled netflix and shag night, your partner might be expecting you to plan something a bit more exciting. You could booked an overpriced restaurant, where other couples bang their chairs into yours while you’re trying to eat your £45 per head set menu. Or you could plan something a bit different that’s more likely to make a memorable evening. So, whether you’re in a relationship, single, or somewhere in between; here are some of the best Valentine’s Day dates ideas in Liverpool to make sure your February 14th is free of clichés.
Valentine’s Day date ideas in Liverpool: Ghetto Golf
There’s nothing better than a bit of healthy competition to keep the spark alive, so why not head to the old Cains Brewery this Valentine’s Day for a night of Liverpool’s infamous crazy golf. Once you’re finished, hang around and have a drink and a hotdog (full sausage pun intended) – just try not to act too smug if you win, you still want to get lucky later tonight!
Breakout
If you’re among the 2% of couples you don’t have absolute murder every time you try to put a piece of Ikea furniture together, (self righteous bastards) then a Valentine’s date at Liverpool’s Breakout is definitely for you. Work together to escape from the rooms and use your own sense of accomplishment as an aphrodisiac for later.

Whether you’re a gamer or not, VR is a boss way to spend a couple of hours, and will definitely give you more to talk about this Valentine’s Day than dinner and drinks.
Hot Water Comedy

Valentine’s Day date ideas in Liverpool: Afternoon punk tea
Full offence but afternoon tea with your fella or bird is cringey as fuuuuuck – and as a side note, can we all just promise to limit afternoon tea to baby showers and days out with your nan in 2019? Anyway, if you really can’t live without miniature food for one day, swerve the crustless egg butties in favour of some mini burgers at The Baltic Social for their cool AF Afternoon Punk Tea.
