If it's a less formal but fun nightlife atmosphere you're looking for, then Fatty Arbuckle's Pub is just for you. It attracts both the younger crowd as well as the older set, not only for its late-night bar charm but also because it is within walking distance from two casinos in the Red River District underneath the Neon Bridge. Music, dancing, arcade games, and a great menu that features such tasty choices as half shell oysters, make Fatty Arbuckle's Pub a great destination to spend your evening with friends.

If you've been moving too fast and haven't taken the time to stop and smell the roses, the Gardens of the American Rose Center will give you so many opportunities to take in the pleasant aroma and sight of the beautiful flower. Over 20,000 blooms can be seen throughout the 42-acre research and garden attraction, so there's no excuse for missing the chance to take a break from your busy-pace-rat-race to literally smell these roses.

Enjoy domestic, foreign, and microbrew beers as well as live entertainment. The festival is a partnership between Mudgub Madness, Red River Revel Arts Festival, Eldorado Casino and downtown Shreveport Unlimited. Proceeds benefit additional programs provided by the DSU and the Revel so a good cause benefits from such a fun and highly attended event.

Whether you wish to walk along the shores of Cross Lake or take a boat out for a sail, the aquatic scenery and fresh air will help to create the perfect scenario for a romantic date. If you're out around sunset, don't forget to bring your camera, as the Shreveport twilights are unbelievably picturesque.
