💘 Blacklight Puff & Paint Date Night
(Chill, vibey, 420 friendly)
If you're looking for a date night in Virginia Beach that’s actually different, Cherry Stoner’s blacklight puff and paint classes are a whole vibe. Dinner is cute… but have you ever painted under blacklights together?
Step into a glow-in-the-dark studio, get a little elevated (if that’s your thing), and create something side-by-side. It’s low-pressure, beginner-friendly, and way more fun than trying to make small talk across a table.
Whether it’s a first date or a long-term situation, this kind of night just hits different. A little creative, a little chaotic (in the best way), and way more memorable than your usual night out.
Plus, you both leave with something you made — which honestly beats another bar tab.
Want something more intimate? Cherry Stoner also offers private date night experiences, where you can book the studio for just the two of you. Your music, your pace, your vibe.
😂 Plan B Comedy Show
(If you’re looking for laughs)
📍 Zeider’s American Dream Theater
Plan B improv comedy group at Zeider’s American Dream Theater is the move if you want to laugh til your face hurts. They mix quick wit, fresh ideas, and literally anything you throw at them into a hilarious show every time.
Good Human Alert: Plan B regular Ryan Clemens not only delivers one of the best fake German accents I’ve ever heard — he also created and toured an anti-bullying program play and a CHKD-sponsored Healthy Habits program for elementary students.
💨 Smoke spot: When you exit the theater lobby, turn right and keep walking — there’s a small dead area that’s perfect to sneak a cone.
🔥 Try a Burlesque Show
(Turn up the heat on date night)
📍 37 & Zen — Norfolk, VA
A short drive from Virginia Beach, you can catch a highly rated burlesque show at 37th & Zen. The Feral Showgirls are an award-winning collective serving bold, sensual, unapologetic performances.
If you can, go on a night when Cherry Pi is performing. Her act is a must-see. Not only is she absolutely gorgeous… her moves may make you feel things. In your nether regions.

🌿 Back Bay Farmhouse
(Beautiful outdoor atmosphere, peaceful vibes)
📍 1805 Kempsville Road
Back Bay Farmhouse offers locally brewed drinks, food trucks, live music, markets, and more. Tucked away at the edge of Virginia Beach, it feels like you’re visiting the country.
Inside the main house is Pinup Coffee Company — and IMO, it’s the most interesting room on the property. Dope art, comfy furniture, and a perfect spot to actually talk and connect.
💨 Smoke Spot: Park along the tree or fence line — perfect incognito spot to burn one before you start your adventure.

🎮 Arcade Stop at Draftcade
(Playful competition energy)
If you're looking for fun things to do in Virginia Beach at night with a playful, competitive vibe — this is a solid stop. New to Virginia Beach Town Center, Draftcade is a low-key bar packed with over 75 retro and modern arcade games — Mario Brothers, Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Mortal Kombat… all the classics.
Grab a drink and some food, talk some shit, and see who’s actually good under pressure.
💨 Know before you go: Edibles are the move here.
🍪🔌 Dessert at the Cookie Plug
(Perfect last stop on date night)
📍 4308 Holland Rd B
Skip dessert at dinner… trust me on this one.
If you’re looking for a late-night dessert spot in Virginia Beach, this is it. They’ve got those thick, big ass cookies that are soft like cake, gooey like a brownie, and crispy like a cookie. They are absolutely as amazing as they sound.
And the names? Elite. Snooperdoodle. Purple Haze. Crunch Nugget. Like… come on.
There’s a solid variety, but these are my go-tos (no particular order):
• OG — classic chocolate chunk cookie on steroids
• Firecracker — gooey, marshmallowy, s’morey goodness
• Oh Snap — if apple pie and an oatmeal cookie had a baby
💨 Pro move: Grab them to-go and eat those bad boys in your jammies with your bedtime blunt. No judgment.
🐄 Hunt Club Petting Zoo
(It’s not just for kids — trust me)
📍 2388 London Bridge Rd
It sounds corny… but getting a little elevated and then petting baby animals? Euphoric.
The Hunt Club in Virginia Beach has all the fan favorites-- bunnies, goats, pigs, but the baby highland cows are the real stars — fluffy, adorable, and very smooshable. You can even get up close for selfies.
Plus… funnel cake.
Bonus: Their Halloween haunted trails are a full-on Virginia Beach staple.
💨 Smoke Spot: If you park across the way in the dirt lot you can find a secluded place to get your head right before the petting begins.
❓FAQ
Is cannabis legal in Virginia Beach?
Cannabis is legal for personal use in Virginia, but public consumption laws can still apply. Cherry Stoner events are designed to be 420-friendly and private, so you can relax and enjoy the vibe responsibly.
Do I need to know how to paint?
Not at all. Most people coming to puff & paint have little to no experience. Everything is guided step-by-step — the goal is to have fun, not be perfect.
What should I bring to a puff and paint class?
Just yourself (and your date). All painting materials are provided. Depending on the event, you may be able to BYOB or bring your own extras — check the event details ahead of time.
Is this a good first date idea?
Honestly… yes. It takes the pressure off. You’re doing something together instead of sitting across from each other trying to force conversation.
Are private date nights available?
Yes 👀 Cherry Stoner offers private date night experiences where you can book the studio just for you and your person. It’s a more intimate, customized vibe — your music, your pace, your night.
