The Book Worm
The Bar, built from re-claimed books
You may want to cuddle up next to bae at a fire while reading a Mark Twain novel and reminiscing about the good ol’ days. Head to Fiction Beer Co. or the Book Bar to find your perfect match. Books and wine? Few things are more romantic. Perhaps Tattered Cover would be a hot first date. We can see it now, Harry Potter and the One Night Stand.

The love of your life loves to drink and have fun. They’re down to try anything and are the life of the party. This perfect partier can be found at a 303 Magazine Pool Party. BONUS: swimsuits. And, if you can’t make it to a pool party, year-round Mile High Spirits keeps partiers’ boozy dreams alive.

Chiseled abs and perky glutes galore are at Wash Park. Take a jog (because you don’t want to be too sweaty for your sweetheart) around the large loop to get a full scoop of the singles. Once found, make your move in the flower gardens for a romantic setting. Or, try your luck at the volleyball nets for your ace. If Wash Park lends you no luck, there are plenty of races to meet active and attractive singles. On August 6, The Rugged Maniac will challenge contestants with a three-mile run and obstacles. There’s a trampoline and a massive water slide, need we say more?
The… Mature

Maybe people of your age just don’t do it for you. Get out on the prowl and head to Cool River. Since it’s in DTC, rest assured these goers are smart, educated and well-employed. If your mature love isn’t found in DTC, head to Williams and Graham, where tucked behind a bookcase, you’ll find the perfect speakeasy setting to chat over fine scotch and whiskey. Another classic place with over 60 selections of cigars and single-malt scotches, Churchill, is a place mature love can blossom.

The Animal Lover
What’s not to love about an animal lover? When you two lock puppy eyes Sarah McLachlan will cry tears of joy and maybe even sing a happy song. The Cat Cafe is a claw-some place to have a romantic mewment, just leave your caitude at home. Okay, we’re done with the cat puns…for meow. If man’s best friend is more your style, find your doggy-loving darling at some of Denver’s best dog parks.
