Date Night 1:  The Adventurous Couple

Quiet conversation can happen later—this date’s on the go!  Kick off your date night with Summit Nights.  December through March the slopes are open late (8:30 pm) for your evening skiing and boarding pleasure.  Be sure to call ahead before scheduling a session with your significant other; availability is dependent upon weather and conditions.

Finished your freestyle and ready for some food?  Bounce over to the Big Bear Lake Brewing Company for brews and bites!  Open late (until 11 pm) on Fridays and Saturdays, you’ll want to try the Avocado Bomb and one of their amazing burgers.  Vegetarians will be pleased to find the Veg Head Burger on the menu and delicious!

Date Night 2:  Casual Elegance

If you’re searching for a more traditional evening out, then this date is for you.  The first stop on your date night jaunt is Le Dolce Vita Tasting Room.   With a relaxing atmosphere and a wine list that often boasts vineyards you’ve never heard of (but will definitely remember!), this cozy gem is the perfect place for conversation over a delightful cheese plate.  Take your show on the road and head over to the Big Bear Valley Community Arts Theater Society for a thrilling live musical or to The Cave for a live act sure to excite.

Try 572 Social for your late night bite.  Boasting a casual, chic atmosphere and eclectic menu, this eccentric eatery is open until 11 pm.  Try one of their delicious burgers (the fries are a must!) or a delicious crunchy wedge salad.

Date Night 3:  Date Night Done Differently

For couples seeking the uncommon for their date bring it into the daytime.  Start with a morning guided snowshoe tour.  You’ll get to experience nature in a big way while hiking snow-covered trails and learning about the local flora and fauna from the knowledgeable tour guide.

For lunch, take your date from the trails to the lake!  Nestled right along the shores of Big Bear Lake, the Pines Lakefront is a great place to grab tasty fare.  Steak lovers should note the fantastic rib eye steak sandwich, and on the lighter side, the smoked chicken and arugula salad with a cup of the delightful French onion soup is the perfect luncheon match.

After soaking in all that nature and delicious food, the best part of your evening will be soaking it up in one of our cozy cabin’s whirlpool.  Make your reservation now.
