If you're feeling a bit competitive then a good idea could be trying out Boom Battle Bar in West Quay for your next date.
There are a whole host of games to try out including axe throwing, shuffleboard, American pool, beer pong, augmented reality darts and karaoke.
The venue has a 5/5 score on Tripadvisor so far and you can book a session at the venue through their website here.
Axe Throwing

Another one for the more competitive couples who want to try something new, axe throwing at The Marlands could work a treat.
Run by the Black Axe Throwing Company, each throwing lane has two targets meaning you can go up directly against your date to see who is best.
The venue has a 5/5 score on Tripadvisor so far and you can book a session over at the Black Axe website here.
Ninja Warrior
If you're a very active couple then expending some of that energy around the assault courses of Ninja Warrior UK could be an option.
There are even some adult-only sessions if you want to try it out at a slightly less busy time.
You can book a session at their website here.
Go Ape
Nearby to Southampton Airport, you can spend some time among the treetops at Go Ape for your next date.
Located in Itchen Valley Country Park, those who like a little bit of an adrenaline rush may favour trying this out.
You'll get the chance to climb on high ropes, take on a "stomach-clenching Tarzan Swing" and go down a 200-metre zip wire.
Go Ape Southampton has a 5/5 score on Tripadvisor, and you can book a session on their website here.
High Score Arcade
This large arcade/amusement centre (where a session can be booked here) could be a nice way to spend a date evening.
High Score Arcade has more than 60 arcade games to choose from to either reminisce or play for the first time.
On the website, it says: "From old school classics including Space Invaders and PAC-man to pinball, sports games and the newest arcade fun, there’s something for everyone to enjoy."
Once you've paid for entry playing on all the games is free, so make the most of it for either an hour or 90 minute session.
