You can also opt to create a full-on pancake, omelet, or french toast bar complete with toppings and syrups.

3. Create by hand the awards dad deserves

You know your dad is the coolest ever, but how do you say that in a big way for his special day? If he is a man of many words, consider asking all the kids to make him silly or sincere (depending on how he rolls) superlative awards.

The awards can be made with hand-lettering or calligraphy on pretty paper like cardstock or scrapbooking paper, painted on wooden blocks, carved into metal garage signs, printed on coffee mugs, or etched onto custom plaques. It is a perfect idea for those who love to get creative and give meaningful, handmade gifts. This is the perfect addition to any other Father’s Day party ideas on this list.

4. Bond over suds when you take dad beer beer-tasting

If he’s a beer guy, consider booking a beer tasting at his favorite local brewery. You can also opt to keep it on the smaller side and host a DIY tasting party at home or a private venue of your choice. You can buy individual beers by the bottle at BevMo, Total Wine & More, Cost Plus World Market, or Grocery Outlet.

Gather some beers from around the world for an international tasting experience. Don’t forget to serve soft pretzels and beer cheese, fried appetizers, or other typical bar foods he likes. Consider buying a beer flight set to give your dad the full brewery experience at home (and hey, it can double as his gift!)

You can also book a special beer-tasting venue through Peerspace. Breweries across North America and beyond list their venues on our platform, making it easy for you to see what services they offer and contact the brewery with any questions before booking.

Here are some of our favorite breweries available for you to book through Peerspace:

Many breweries have on-site kitchens to whip up some tasty food to compliment their beers, while others have on-site arcades to keep all their guests entertained.

5. Get sporty and spend time playing his favorite activities

For athletic dads, consider taking the Father’s Day party ideas to exciting activity places. Some of our favorites include the driving range, TopGolf, the bowling alley, the batting cages, or your local sports bar. Many golf courses and bowling alleys already serve food, so the party planning will be simplified from there.

Looking for a more bespoke experience? Then rely on Peerspace to connect with private sports courts and more, with amazing hidden gem spaces near you.

6. Curate the perfect playlist with dad’s favorite tunes

Sometimes music says all you need to say better than any card. Show your dad your appreciation by rounding up his favorite tunes. Study his Spotify or Pandora playlists to find out which songs, artists, and genres he’s jamming out to. Then ask around to discover his favorite songs from back in the day. He’ll probably love talking about his memories associated with each song, providing another stellar bonding moment.

7. Give dad the best day ever

Remember those coupons you used to make your parents as a kid? They were thoughtful but low-budget, last-minute gifts. And this is one of those fun Father’s Day party ideas that are similar in concept. However, this grown-up take on it requires a little more planning and better presentation. The basic idea is that you will create an itinerary (which you can type out on sleek paper) for your dad’s idea of a perfect day.

Think of his favorite activities. What would he do all day if he didn’t have to work or take care of things around the house? Create a day where he has no responsibilities other than to chill out and have fun. Gather his favorite foods and drinks or make the necessary restaurant reservations. Book classes or experiences he loves, plan an outdoor adventure and create a personalized, ideal day from sunrise to sunset just for him.

Once you secure the perfect party venue, bring it to life using these fabulous Father’s Day decoration ideas!

8. Host a toast and roast with a comedy night just for him

Set up your own “comedy night” in a local bar or cafe. This is one of the ultimate Father’s Day party ideas for the king of the cringe-worthy dad joke, after all! All you need is a microphone and some prepared speeches. Ask all of the kids to toast and/or roast your dad(s) (depending on his personality). It’s like giving verbal Father’s Day cards, except a lot funnier. After everyone shares their dad toast/roast, invite the man of the hour on the stage. At that point, he’ll be ready to share some jokes of his own!

9. Enjoy a backyard summer BBQ

Barbecues are always a good idea when the summer is just beginning! If your dad is the guy who is constantly at the grill, treat him to a relaxing backyard BBQ party where he doesn’t have to do the cooking. Round up his favorite meats or grill-worthy veggies, or create a burger or hot dog bar with all of his favorite fixings. Stock a cooler or bucket with everything he loves to drink, then decorate your yard with lights, lanterns, sports pennants, or flags.

You can also opt to book an amazing home on Peerspace that has a lovely backyard and barbecue grills on hand!

Here are a few suggestions:

• This Los Angeles backyard with a pool, a barbecue area, a Tiki bar, and lounge seating
• This low-key barbecue courtyard with plenty of seating in Addison, Texas
• This Miami vibes in Queens backyard paradise with a combo gas grill, a bar, a jacuzzi, and an outdoor movie lounge

Of course, there are plenty of other options in cities across the country, you just have to visit Peerspace and start looking! This is one of those special Father’s Day party ideas that he will always cherish.

10. For the gear-head dad: get your motor runnin’

Is your pop a proud motorcyclist? Then why not take him somewhere on Father’s Day that lets you celebrate that part of his life? For instance, you can visit the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in Pickerington, Ohio, the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, or the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa.

If you’re located in the Midwest, it could be possible to go on a Father’s Day road trip to all three! Plus, you can end your journey at this kick-ass warehouse and vintage car and motorcycle collection bar and event space in Plainfield, Illinois (pictured above)! It has an incredible collection of vintage cars and bikes, a delectable array of whiskeys, an Airstream lounge, and plenty of comfy seating. This is such a fun and unique space, your dad may never want to leave!
