There are plenty of romantic restaurants and date ideas for when you and your significant other want a night out on the town just you two. But when you're looking to head out with your other coupled-up friends, what to do? Don't worry, we've got you covered with some of the best double date ideas in Los Angeles for couples of all stages. So while you can take the easy route and just head to a cocktail bar, we recommend choosing something from this list instead.

Best double date ideas in Los Angeles

  • Bars

Los Angeles has plenty of spots to go wine tasting, and what better way to bond as a group than over discussions of whether the wine had a hint of fruit or vanilla? The conversations will get a lot more lively and entertaining as the day goes on, trust us.

  • Bars
  • Breweries

Not wine drinkers? Head to a brewery instead, many of which host brewery tours for those who are into the whole process of how that beer you're drinking is made. This is a great group activity, and each couple can take a growler (or two) home with them at the end of the date.

If the members of your double date are a product of the '80s, we suggest heading to an arcade bar for some serious fun. Double dates can be awkward, especially if couples start arguing or you're not too familiar with each other, but an arcade bar can help stave off any bad vibes. Here, it's all about the fun.

Murder mystery shows are entertaining and also provide fun for groups as they work together to figure out whodunnit. There are a number of murder myster dinner shows in Los Angeles to pick from, all of which will provide a more unique double date experience than just dinner and a movie.

Sometimes going to an amusement park like Knott's Berry Farm or Universal Studios seems like a hassle for just two people, but a group date somehow makes it all seem worth it. An added bonus: Now you'll have enough people for some of you to keep your place in line for the next ride while others grab the Dole Whip and hot dogs.
