On 7th street near downtown Fort Worth there are a ton of restaurants with patios to drink on, great food and bars to visit. There's also a VERY nice Movie Tavern if movies are your thing. For dessert there is a little shop that you can go into and pick two cookies and an ice cream flavor and have an ice cream sandwich, both cookies and ice cream are homemade and great (it's called Sweet Sammies.) Fred's has excellent burgers, a heated patio, "Cold Ass" beer with happy hour prices and live music tonight.
If you are country music fans, many of the bars in the Stockyards will have live music tonight with minimal cover charges. You could have dinner at any of the steak houses down there for a great meal, or on the cheaper end dinner at Los Vaqueros or Riscky's.
For a nice dinner and atmosphere, you could also go to Joe T. Garcias. They have margaritas that are fabulous.
You could go into Sundance Square and have dinner. There will be live music at 8.0 tonight. Another fun thing would be to go to Simply Fondue and do the full course dinner, it takes about 2 hours and includes app, entree and dessert. (about $50 per person)
If you are museum people, grab dinner somewhere on Camp Bowie (Lucille's is a nice choice, lobster bisque is great), grab a beer at the Gingerman (excellent selection of beer!) and then hit the museum district. The modern is fun even for people who don't love traditional art.
Hope this helps!
ETA: Prof Science reminded me of wine - there is Cowtown Winery in the Stockyards, Times Ten Cellars off 7th Street and Winslow's Wine Cafe off of Camp Bowie -- all are great for inexpensive wine tastings. Times Ten has a Pinot Noir so tasty and smooth, it makes me weak in the knees. They also usually have live chill music and good atmosphere.
There is also Four Day weekend. It's a comedy group which I really enjoy. Leslie pretty much listed everything but I thought I would throw that out there.

Haha! My husband is too but he will do Simply Fondue with me about once a year. Take a look at the menu (on their website to see if you husband would like it)
If not and you are cool with the $50 per person price point I would HIGHLY recommend Texas De Brazil to you and your husband. It's a meat guys paradise and one of my husband's favorite places. It's in downtown Fort Worth, so you could valet park there, have dinner and walk over to the actual Sundance area (about 3 blocks away) and check that out.
ETA: I'll do you one better: here's the Simply Fondue menu: http://www.simplyfondue.com/web-storage/webstorage1/master%20menu%20july%2009.pdf
