Plymouth Date Night
8 stops · about 4 hours · Updated October 11, 2026
Build a date night in Plymouth, MI around dinner, a cocktail and something sweet, with choices that range from a casual Mediterranean meal to an upscale Italian dining room. Start at Lavash Mediterranean Grill for Hummus Lamb, Chicken Tawook or vegetarian options. For Piedmontese beef and a Sinatra-era-inspired setting, choose La Bistecca Italian Grille, where dinner reservations are recommended. Red Ryder pairs dinner and small plates with a collection of about 4,000 vinyl LPs and an on-site bar.
Make Park Place Gastropub your cocktail stop, with comfort food and late-night dining available alongside the drinks. For a beer-focused alternative, Bearded Lamb Brewing Company serves small-batch ales and lagers in its tasting rooms. Blue Kuna Smokehouse adds another dinner option through slow-smoked meats, sides and Michigan-inspired sauces.
Finish at Crepes N Crème Cafe with a sweet crepe, handcrafted ice cream or a latte; it stays open until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 p.m. the other days. For sweets from Helen’s Bakery, plan an earlier pickup: its heirloom baked goods are available until 2 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.
