Yearning a romantic yet exciting escape? Whether a vacation, brief getaway or just one evening? No matter what your taste….Universal Orlando blog serves up a morsel for you to savour.
What does your perfect date night look like? Dinner? Movie? Dancing? Now imagine having that and more all within steps of each other. You’ve just entered Universal CityWalk.
A virtual vortex of date night fun, this evening entertainment complex spans 30 acres and houses dozens of nightclubs, restaurants and shops.
You’ll also find the internationally renowned Blue Man Group, performing nightly in their own state-of-the-art theater. Right next door: the world’s largest Hard Rock Cafe—which houses hundreds of authentic memorabilia from music’s biggest legends. Plus, you can putt your way through two out-of-this-world mini-golf courses or catch a movie on the colossal screens at the AMC Universal Cineplex 20.
But, of course, you’ll want to start with dinner first. Take your pick from more than a dozen options ranging from quick serve to high end.
Those who love a bustling scene with lots to look at will want to check out NBC Sports Grill & Brew.
Far from your average sports bar, this new CityWalk eatery features an expansive menu of light bites and entrees plus over 100 beers on tap. Enjoy it all while you marvel at the athletic prowess of your favorite sports teams broadcasted on more TV screens that you can possibly count.
One of CityWalk’s newest arrivals, The Cowfish, is ideal for the couple who simply can’t decide on one type of cuisine.
Inside the huge, ocean-inspired space, you can choose fresh sushi and bento boxes filled with out of the ordinary Asian fare. Or give one of a dozen gourmet burgers a try. And, of course, there’s “burgushi”: Cowfish’s cheeky marriage of burgers and sushi into unique dishes you’ve never seen before.
Consider trying one of the restaurant’s nine specialty cocktails, ideally sipped during a game of corn hole on Cowfish’s patio.
But the night doesn’t end with dessert. In fact, here’s where it kicks into high gear.
You can see a concert or comic at Hard Rock Live. You could catch the zany antics of the Blue Man Group, now offering the option to enjoy cocktails in a special lounge before and after the show.
If you’re thinking about heading to the AMC Universal Cineplex, consider checking out the CityWalk Meal and Movie deal, which features dinner at select restaurants plus a movie ticket.
You can also opt for the Meal and Mini-Golf Deal, which combines dinner with a round of mini golf at Hollywood Drive-In Golf, home to two challenging but hilarious courses.
The night will still be young, so go explore CityWalk’s nighclub scene. Sip a hurricane and catch the live dueling piano show at Pat O’Brien’s.
Just a stone’s throw away, Rising Star will wow you with one of the best karaoke experiences in the world. Where else can you find a live band and back-up singers that perform with each courageous crooner?
Finally, dance the night away at Red Coconut Club, where live bands and DJs keep the party going long into the night.
With so much to do, eat and sip, CityWalk offers a fresh take on date night. In fact, you can mix and match different restaurants, shows and nightclubs for a different experience every time.
Whether you’re on your first date or your 50th, date night at CityWalk never gets old.
For Florida Residents, parking is FREE after 6pm. And while you can always just drive in and walk around, check out some of the special bundles that can save you money on your night out.
