Whether you’re newly dating or have been together for years, there’s always something exciting and fresh to experience in this picturesque city. From cozy corners to trendy hotspots, here’s a fun guide to the ultimate date night in downtown Charlottetown!

A Waterfront Walk to Remember

Stroll hand-in-hand as you make your way along the Victoria Park waterfront boardwalk. This easy-to-follow walking route is open year-round and offers lots of room to roam, explore and take in the natural beauty of the waterfront area together. Don’t forget to ‘lock in’ your special memories of time well-spent in Charlottetown than with a super cute selfie in front of the Love Locks Installation.

Make it a Movie Night

Spend a cozy evening at Charlottetown’s premiere repertory movie theatre experience, Tivoli Cinema. From new releases to cult classics, matinees to midnights, Tivoli offers a premium movie experience, presenting films as they were meant to be seen—with atmosphere, reverence, and fun. You’ll find all your classic movie-snacking essentials at the concession stand like popcorn, hot dogs, and soda – they also offer a selection of local craft beers, too.

Date Night at Founders’

Looking for a cozy spot where you can dine, shop, sip, and even skate (if that’s your thing) Founders’ Food Hall & Market is just the space. With unique foodie options, local shops, musical entertainment, food demonstrations, firepits, and outdoor skating rink in the winter, Founders’ is the ideal setting for an intimate and inspired date night. Inside you’ll also find a specialty liquor store, Notables, where you can pick up a bottle of bubbly or cocktail of your choice to take back to your suite for an end-of-day nightcap.

Lounging in Style

If unique cocktails and shareables are more your style, head to Marc’s Lounge on Sydney Street for a experience. The rustic yet modern decor makes it a perfect spot for couples looking for a cozy and intimate environment to unwind. They also have an excellent selection of small plates, so you can nibble on a charcuterie board or other light bites while enjoying live music from up-and-coming local artists.

Setting the Scene at the Beer Corner

For a laid-back night exploring the downtown core, head over to Upstreet Craft Beer Corner. This local taproom offers a variety of craft beers brewed right on the island, and the cool, modern vibe is perfect for a relaxed evening out. Try the seasonal selections or opt for a tasting flight, so you can share and explore different flavours together. The brewery often hosts live entertainment, creating a fun, social atmosphere that’ll set the stage for a memorable night.

Sips at the Speakeasy

As Lovewelle is located in the heart of the city, so is Charlottetown’s newest (and only) speakeasy. Reddins on Victoria Row, just steps away from your downtown suite, serves up expertly crafted cocktails every Thursday through Saturday until midnight. With its intimate atmosphere and prohibition-era charm, it’s the ideal spot for a memorable night out. But here’s the twist — you’ll need to know the secret password to gain entry…we can help with that. 😉

Though Charlottetown may be small, it’s packed with fun, unique spots that make for the perfect date night. So, get out there, explore the city, and make your time spent together in downtown Charlottetown truly unforgettable!
