History Of The Winnipeg Dating Scene

Winnipeg has seen its fair share of dating action over the years -- from its humble start as a settlement inhabited by natives to the start of the European influx of peoples, it has always been somewhere for folk to meet and get together. That said, it was only around the 1700s when first started to go up around the town that the place really began to get its act together in terms of a dating scene.

1812 saw the locally very famous Selkirk settlement, which really compounded the city into what it began to resemble today, though it was not until 1971 that the city really came into its own with the formation of the then annual festival of the area that celebrated its inception as the best city in this part of the country for dating -- a tradition that continued for some years; now, of course, there are Pride marches and other occasions that continue to surprise and delight the dating crowd, plus tourists and visitors to the region for business or pleasure. In fact, you could say that pleasure is Winnipeg's business, since it packs so many things into its prairie home, such as museums and dining, history walks and fringe theater shindigs that put it right up there with other modern Canadian metropolises.

Best Times To Go Out

From Assiniboine Park Zoo and Canadian Museum for Human Rights at the quiet, weekday end of the dating scene, to Fame Nightclub and Shannon's Irish Pub and Eatery at the weekend side, there is enough to do in this city to make you feel as though you made the right choice in visiting, moving to, hooking up with someone in, or being born in Winnipeg. With natural good looks, and a charming personality, this city will satisfy you in ways you had not thought possible, but still leave you begging for more.

Date Ideas In Winnipeg: Directory

This city has so much going for it, it seems a shame that more people do not seem to know what a great date destination it truly is. With draws such as Assiniboine Park Zoo, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, The Forks Winnipeg and the many, many bars and eating places through the whole of the city, Winnipeg is proud to call itself a dating mecca that brings people from miles around.

Assiniboine Park Zoo

Any Notes

Paid parking and some free parking

Brief Description

When the weather is fine, or when the weather is bad, people come to Assiniboine Park Zoo from all over to see the fine collection of animals that makes up this world class zoo that was first set up in 1904 if you can believe that (we can't!) In fact, this zoo is such a big deal that the Zoological Society of Manitoba was set up in the 50s just so that they could to fund the place. A great place to stroll around hand in hand with your date while you look at at all the fantastic beasts and creatures of the deep. This is the sort of date venue that you will remember for a long time, and of course there are so many great chances to get a cool picture with the person you have brought with you. So if you want a wet and wild date that not only will not break the bank but will also have you wanting to come back again and again, you could do far worse than to check out this splashingly good aqua zoo that counts itself as one of the best in the whole of the country. Give yourself plenty of time here if you are thinking of pairing this date with a follow up dinner date later in the day -- which, by the way, is one of our top suggestions; just see some of our wine and dine dates below for a few ideas when it comes to mix and match dates. You will definitely have worked up an appetite by the time you are all done having a lot of wet and crazy fun at the water park.

The Forks, Winnipeg

Any Notes

Open 7 am - 11 pm

Brief Description

A real slice of history that all locals and visitors alike should go and see, The Forks is both a popular meeting place and giant park in the downtown core of Winnipeg right at the very point where the Red River and the Assiniboine River meet up. A great date idea for any couples who like to get out into the great outdoors.

Canadian Museum for Human Rights

Canadian Museum for Human Rights

Any Notes

Open 10 am - 5 pm

Brief Description

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is in itself a great looking building that has been built in modern times, and features many exhibits that furthers the arguments for many Canadian as well as international human rights concerns. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is one of the best places in the city to go if you want a date idea that is not just fun but will teach you and your date a thing or two along the way; the history value alone is off the charts, but the local angle is really why we have added it to our list of best date ideas on this page; if you or your partner have any local connections at all you will want to go and have a look at this place just for the family side alone, plus you will see how the city really started out -- great for a bit of perspective, which in our opinion can be more romantic than you might think. Great for a stroll to work up an appetite as well, if you are thinking of doing a mix and match date.

A truly huge park that has an amazing amount of things in it besides trees and dogs, such as a zoo, a conservatory, a great outdoor theatre, lots of play equipment as well as other equipment and things to see and do. Thanks to the Winnipeg Public Parks Board which started its existence way back through the fogs of time in 1893, the park was bought in 1904 for the good people of this city to enjoy.

Website

529 Wellington

Any Notes

Open from 11:30 am to 2 pm and 5 pm to 11 pm most days and nights

Brief Description

529 Wellington is never hard to find, since its address is in its name, but it wasn't always the case that this fine dining joint looked so great -- it had to be fully restored before the main section of the mansion could house the up scale culinary experience offers it offers to the public these days. If you want the kind of high class steak house dinners your gramps used to talk about, plus all the cocktails you can name on both hands, as well as all the hearty side dishes you can think of such as Yorkshire pudding, onion ring towers, and mashed spuds, then bring your date to this exclusive but very down to earth restaurant.

Brief Description

With a very international vibe that inspires so many of its dishes on their eclectic menu, the Deer + Almond also does a mean line in cocktails and craft beers, all of which are served up in very modern settings. The decor is what you would want from a date venue, and art is everywhere here -- on the walls, on tables, and is tastefully selected to create a pleasing ambiance. The dishes here are very inventive and range from orange and beetroot salad to deer tartare and the classic risotto.

Brief Description

The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre has its very own theatre festivals, which are out of this world and a great idea for a date. There are also regular Royal Manitoba Theatre tours, which play in the areas around the city, so if you feel like getting out of town but still staying local then that is another great way to enjoy seeing a show. Once you have tried a Royal Manitoba Theatre shows, you will feel as though you have gotten a real education in how good theatre can be, so make sure that you book tickets in advance. Many of the shows are put on at the famous John Hirsch Mainstage, but there are others at the Tom Hendy Warehouse, plus of course the Royal Manitoba Theatre regional tours that extend out of the main city area.

Shannon's Irish Pub and Eatery

Any Notes

Open 11 am -2 am. Parking is on street

Brief Description

Nothing says Manitoba like an Irish bar, and nowhere in the province can you find one that offers such classic pub food and drinks and served so skillfully, nor in so friendly a manner. With karaoke events as well as a host of craft of beers to sup, this place has a traditional atmosphere in spades. You can't go wrong with an Irish pub if either of you has any Irish roots, but if you don't then that is ok too. Check this place out if you like the kind of friendly atmosphere that the locals seem to really revere and you will want to come back again and again to this lively and welcoming date spot that the locals call home of an evening. The food and rink is one thing, but you cannot beat the atmosphere of this place that is unlike any other in the whole of the city. If you *do* have Irish roots, then you or your date can revel in them here since it is all very authentic, with the best pints poured here, and the chatter the same as you would expect back home if you are visiting from the Emerald Isle. This is the place that so many Irish in the area call a home away from home, so do check it out if you are in any way home sick for the Old Country, or if you simply want a date that you will both remember for the rest of your lives. This is a great date idea, and one of our faves on this list.
