Austin doesn’t force romance.
It lets it unfold.
On patios under string lights.
Along the lake at golden hour.
In rooms where live music hums softly in the background.
If you matched at one of our Austin events and found yourself wondering where to go next… here’s a little Cheeky guidance.
Because second dates here should feel natural.
🌅 Lady Bird Lake at Sunset
Start simple.
Walk the Lady Bird Lake Trail just before dusk. Grab coffee from Jo’s Coffee or something cold from Houndstooth, and let the skyline catch the last light.
Austin glows at golden hour.
And walking side by side makes everything easier.
🍷 South Congress, Effortlessly Cool
If the mood feels promising, wander South Congress (SoCo).
Dinner at Perla’s or June’s All Day, then a cocktail somewhere low-lit and relaxed.
It’s stylish without being flashy.
Laid-back without being lazy.
Very Austin.
🌿 East Austin, A Little Playful
If the spark feels undeniable, head east.
Dinner at Launderette or Suerte, then drinks at Whisler’s.
East Austin has personality.
Creative energy.
Just enough buzz to make the night stretch longer than expected.
🎶 Rainey Street, Done Right
Rainey can be chaotic — but choose wisely.
Slip into Half Step for craft cocktails instead of the louder spots.
Second dates don’t need a crowd.
They need atmosphere.
🌄 Mount Bonnell, Quiet & Cinematic
If it rolls into a slower moment, drive up to Mount Bonnell for a city view.
No production.
No playlist required.
Just that quiet feeling of, “I’m glad we did this.”
Austin is warm.
In temperature, in tone, in spirit.
And when two people choose each other here — in a city built on music, movement, and patios — it feels easy.
We love watching matches turn into second dates.
Austin does the rest.
