5 Lawrenceville Date Night Spots

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again, dinner dates are boring! In a city with as much to do as Pittsburgh, there are so many fun date spots to check out. Here are 5 of our favorite unique date spots in the Lawrenceville neighborhood.

Bar Botanico

Bar Botanico is the perfect spot to start your date night. Enjoy their clean, minimalistic aesthetic while sipping on a beautifully crafted cocktail (or two…). In addition to cocktails, wine, and beer, they also offer a limited selection of small plates to enjoy with your drinks.

Row House Cinema

Going beyond the typical movie date, Row House Cinema is an old-school theater specializing in classic and cult films. They offer fun and unique events multiple times a week, usually pairing with a film that’s being played. A huge selling point for the theater is the connected craft beer store, Bierport, where you can choose from an extensive selection of beers to bring into the movie.

Mix Candle Co.

Mix Candle Co. is the perfect place to celebrate an anniversary, birthday, or other meaningful event. After you choose your jar and design the label, you and your partner can create your own custom candle by mixing and matching over 120 different fragrance options. Candles take two hours to cool before you’re able to take them home, which provides the perfect opportunity to grab lunch, dinner, or drinks at one of Lawrenceville’s many spots.

Walter’s Southern Kitchen

Walter’s Southern Kitchen is an awesome date spot. Starting with their food, you can’t go wrong with BBQ – brisket, pulled pork, and chicken and waffles galore. The atmosphere is what makes this place so much fun with a huge outdoor patio with picnic tables, outdoor games, and tons of dogs on busy days!
