Cinema Detroit was founded by a pair of lovebirds who also love movies. This is just one of many reasons this independent film house is the perfect place for a date night. The theater features an eclectic mix of cult-classics, campy thrillers and epic silent films. With the theater's recent relocation to Midtown comes free parking, so definitely take advantage of that. Be sure to stock up on snacks for your date — the concession stand is stocked with popcorn, Faygo and sweets made by local bakeries.

The Fowling Warehouse is a gaming warehouse that offers players the chance to test their skills at the game of fowling. Born in Detroit, this sport has transcended the Motor City and is slowly but surely becoming a favorite pastime at enclaves around the country. Each team attempts to toss a football into a section set up with bowling pins. Knock those pins down and you're the winner. It's not as easy as you may think, but it sure is fun. Reserving a lane and grabbing some cold brews won't set you back too much, as everything is reasonably priced. An added bonus is that this is a night out your date will never forget.
