Date Night: Set Out For Adventure With These Friend Dates

Cleveland Rocks & Beads puts the glitz in your girls’ night when you gather to design a custom bauble from start to finish. Select a material such as Czech glass, sea glass and a variety of stones and beads as an instructor guides you through your desired statement piece. Adorn your wrists in matching friendship peyote-stitch bracelets or select your favorite color of quartz crystal for a wire-wrapped pendant necklace that will have folks asking, “Where’d you get that?” 2499 Lee Blvd., Cleveland Heights, 216-932-3780, clevelandrocksandbeads.com

Get the entire crew together
On BrewBoat CLE’s cycle boat, the boat is as much the star as the riverfront views. On your next couples or friends outing, band together on a 14-passenger catamaran and chart your own course down the Cuyahoga River. An accompanying captain and built-in motor gives the group freedom to dance and roam the deck, or stay seated at the bar’s pedal stations as you take in skyline views that can’t be captured on land. 5300 Whiskey Island Drive, Cleveland, 440-941-6690, brewcle.com

Create something
Gather your couples group and act as each other’s muse at Rocky River’s Wine & Design’s two-hour Romantic Couples Night painting class. When you arrive, the easels, brushes, paints and traced-out canvas await you. Work together with your partner by each painting one half of a canvas split in two. Once you’ve each added your own artistic touches, the canvases come together as a single masterpiece. 21194 Center Ridge Road, Rocky River, 440-494-6309, wineanddesign.com/clevelandwest
