We asked readers for their favourite first date venues in the city, as well as some tips on making a good impression. With knowledgeable bar staff, a large selection of booze and low-key-cool DJs, Udaberri is ideal for first dates. If you met your date on an app and are yet to establish rapport, take a seat at the bar or out the back. LOC Bottle Bar has turned its corner of Hindmarsh Square into a buzzing meeting spot for the relatively young and interesting.
First dates need not exclusively be nighttime endeavours. Keep it to coffee though β food can get messy and might lock you in to a bad time. Etica is always good for a first date, but the absolute best booking is on a Thursday when the restaurant hosts their weekly jazz night. Nothing too expensive or fancy. Do consider an interactive element β The Lost Dice has board games, Etica has jazz , and hot pot requires some interaction. Do order according to your own tastes. You might find out local, seasonally sourced food is as important to your date as it is to you.
