Singapore date ideasSkip the usual coffee. Dates you will both remember, whichever way it goes.
10 places, each checked to be open, with the nearest MRT and the price.
@ Filmhouse
Bugis, Singapore
An independent cinema that opened in February 2026 in the old Projector space, run by members of The Projector's original team. Indie and repertory films give you something better than a blockbuster to discuss afterwards.
After: Golden Mile Food Centre next door.
6001 Beach Road, #05-00, Golden Mile Tower, Singapore 199589 · Map
@ Kafe Utu
Chinatown, Singapore
An African café spread over a shophouse, with carved wooden panels and cushioned lounge seating. Coffee and brunch by day, dinner and cocktails in the evening.
12 Jiak Chuan Road, Singapore 089265 · Map
@ Tea Chapter
Chinatown, Singapore
A traditional teahouse open since 1989 where you brew Chinese tea yourselves at the table. The ritual gives you something to do with your hands, and the tea rooms are quiet.
After: Mei Heong Yuen Dessert on Temple Street is a short walk away for snow ice.

@ Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle
Western Water Catchment, Singapore
A working pottery with one of Singapore's last dragon kilns, built in the 1940s, and beginner wheel and handbuilding workshops. It is far west, so plan a cab from Boon Lay.
85 Lorong Tawas, Singapore 639823 · Map
@ Dirty Sips
Tiong Bahru, Singapore
A pocket sized cocktail bar attached to Dirty Supper, making low waste drinks from kitchen offcuts, which gives you an instant topic. Cocktails start at about S$18 and zero proof options are S$12.
After: If the drink turns into dinner, Dirty Supper shares the same space.
78 Moh Guan Terrace, #01-19, Singapore 162078 · Map
@ Timezone (Leisure Park Kallang)
Tanjong Rhu, Singapore
Arcade games give you an easy, competitive way to break the ice, and a few rounds of air hockey say a lot. A good rainy day option.
After: Teo Heng KTV at Kallang Wave Mall, a short walk away.
5 Stadium Walk, #01-23, Leisure Park Kallang, Singapore 397693 · Map
@ Heap Seng Leong
Kallang, Singapore
A coffee shop that has barely changed since the 1970s, still serving kopi gu you (kopi with a slab of butter) and charcoal toasted bread. It is cheap, unhurried and gives you something to talk about straight away.
After: Golden Mile Food Centre is a short walk away for lunch.
10 North Bridge Road, Singapore 190010 · Map
@ E.S.C. Escape @ Science Centre
Lakeside, Singapore
Three science themed escape rooms of about an hour each, made with theatre company How Drama. Solving puzzles as a team shows you quickly how you work together.
After: Tim Ho Wan at Westgate for dim sum after.
15 Science Centre Road, Annexe, Science Centre Singapore, Singapore 609081 · Map
@ Smith Street Taps
Chinatown, Singapore
A hawker stall pouring rotating craft beers, with seating at the food centre tables. One beer and a chat here is about as low pressure as a first date gets; it opens in the evenings from Tuesday.
After: Walk five minutes to Mei Heong Yuen Dessert on Temple Street for something sweet.
335 Smith Street, #02-62, Chinatown Complex, Singapore 050335 · Map
@ Pinnacle@Duxton Skybridge
Chinatown, Singapore
For S$6 each you can walk the 50th storey skybridge of a public housing estate, with views over the city and port. Only 150 visitors are admitted a day and last entry is 9pm, so go before sunset and bring an EZ-Link card.
After: Walk down to Tanjong Pagar Road for a drink at Braveheart Sake Originals.

Filmhouse, Tea Chapter and Timezone (Leisure Park Kallang) on this page all come in under S$30 a person.
Filmhouse, Kafe Utu and Tea Chapter are indoors, so the plan survives a storm.
Dirty Sips usually stay open past 11pm. Check before you go.
The places on this page are nearest to Nicoll Highway MRT, Outram Park MRT, Maxwell MRT and Boon Lay MRT.
You plan three real dates like these. People who would say yes to one of them like it, and you pick who to match with. Then you agree on a time and both confirm. There is no chat, ever.
