Old school Peter Pan putt putt, Austin FC game, Round Rock Express game, Mt. Bonnel at sunset, the bats at dusk, Laguna Gloria Museum and the park next door to see the peacocks, Ice cream and or coffee at Mozarts on the lake, Blanton Museum (if they have a night event), Top Golf, Ax throwing.

Hope you have a great time whatever you do.

People tend to bond in activities that raise adrenaline, cause stress, etc. So in addition to the axe throwing, you could try the indoor skydiving thing...or just cook her dinner.

Those are great recs. I'd totally forgotten about the bats. Mt bonnel? I'll need to check out.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

Stand up paddleboarding so you can see if she's got the goods. (That goes both ways lol)
You could go to a comedy club.... don't necessarily have to drink there.
Wildflower Center is still pretty nice ie. it's not too hot.
Maybe an Escape Room, you could see how she handles pressure.

My kid is going to a get together at uptown circus on 2nd. While they technically serve drinks, it looks like a fun time.

Expose. First dates are made at strip clubs.

Anal? You said things that don't involved bars or clubs. Maybe bring some lube.

Comedy club is high risk for a first date, especially if neither of you are drinking imo.

Another fun one is an arcade, or a live music show.

We went for our anniversary this year because it fell on a Monday and lots of places were closed. I would give it 7/10. It was a prix fixe menu. The portions were pretty big and it was a ton of food. I wasn't blown away but it was pretty good. Probably wouldn't go back soon.

Thanks for the feedback. They get pretty good reviews on the internet but who knows who those people are. Looks a little Pricey but wine pairing option is nice. It certainly looks like a nice place.

Follow up question….Clark's or Perlas? I know they're same owner but never been to Clark's. Thanks in advance.

Wife and I love Perla's but have never been to Clarks.
If you are considering seafood, go to Mongers on Guadalupe. Trust me and it will probably be less expensive without giving up quality.

Mongers…definitely check them out. Thanks a bunch.
