Date Night in Downtown Boston: Cannabis, Dinner, and a Stroll Along the Waterfront

Cannabis

Boston is home to countless things to see, do, and try for people of many ages and interests. For those looking to spice up their date night in this thriving metro area, cannabis can be an easy way to level up the evening. However, you have more options than just sitting inside and lighting up (though that can be a lot of fun!). Mix up your date in downtown Boston visit, where plenty of activities, sights, and even cannabis-infused meals await.

Whether you and your date like to take the slow trip with some edibles or prime yourself with a few hits before you go, you’ll find that Boston can look a lot different with the addition of some marijuana.

Here are some of our top ideas to make your Boston date night one that you’ll both remember fondly.

Check Out Local Dispensaries

Before you can start your cannabis-infused adventure, you’ll need cannabis! Heading to a dispensary like Pure Oasis together isn’t just “running an errand” before your date starts; it can be a lot of fun in and of itself.

Explore the dispensary together, share stories of products you’ve tried (or want to try), and start building a bond over shared experiences in a low-stakes environment. Now is also a great time to stock up on the specific strains that will complement the rest of your planned activities.

Visiting a dispensary can give a lot of insight into the person you’re spending time with. Do they like to party until the sun comes up, or would they prefer a relaxed afternoon glued to the couch with a good movie?

You might find that you share a lot in common with how you like to pass the time, inspiring future dates (or even this one)!

Visit Boston’s Iconic Date Spots

While you can’t partake of weed in public, you can fuel up before you go — and some of the best places to stop during your adventure are the iconic date spots littered across Boston. Try:

• Alamo Drafthouse – For movies (and heated seats!).
• Venus Arcade Bar – A fun arcade with a minimal $5 cover fee for unlimited access to arcade and video games.
• Chez-Vous – A roller skating rink with a strong ‘90s theme (just don’t choose a strain that will make you any more unsteady on your feet than you already are with those skates!).
• The Museum of Fine Arts – For a quiet, inspiring afternoon talking about art and culture. (There’s also a Museum of Bad Art if something more quirky is your thing.)
• Freedom Trail – A hallmark of Boston tourism that passes through more than 15 historical landmarks across its 2.5-mile route.
• The New England Aquarium – For animal lovers who want to enjoy the waterfront or take in the skyline at the same time.

Sample the Food and Drinks of the City

Date night isn’t complete without food, and Boston has plenty of choices. Impress your date and share stories over great food and drinks at:

• Boston Public Market – A diverse mixture of almost any food you can imagine, all in the same location.
• Chinatown – For meals ranging from seafood pulled straight from the tank to Xiao Long Bao served café style.
• Tavern of Tales – An eatery featuring snack service, drinks, and all the board games you can play.
• Banners Kitchen & Tap – For those who want to watch the game from a 40-foot (yes, it’s that big) screen while sipping on a beer and enjoying the bar food we all know and love.

Try Cannabis-Specific Tours

While most date nights in Boston start with some cannabis before heading out on the town, they don’t always have to go that way. Some specific locations allow for free cannabis use during your date as well:

• The Bliss Bus – For those who want a mixture of city sightseeing and comedy infused with weed.
• Dinner at Mary’s – Ideal for dates with enough prep time to make a reservation for this weed-infused multi-course meal.
• The Summit Lounge – A short trek from the city center where you can freely enjoy cannabis and partake in potentially the most luscious, creative milkshakes in Massachusetts.

Embrace All That Boston Has to Offer on Date Night

Any date night in Boston can find plenty of things to do and see, but adding cannabis to the mix creates a whole new flavor to the evening. Whether you want to do something relaxed or stay active throughout the day, there are plenty of cannabis-friendly activities and sights to see.
