A short and sweet guide to Valentine’s (and Galentine’s) Day date ideas and dinner around metro Atlanta.
Atlanta loves love. And when Valentine’s Day rolls around, the city’s top restaurants and entertainment venues tend to go all-out with themed menus, pop-up bars, and activities that set the mood for romance.
This year, February 14th falls on a Saturday, which means there are more options than ever for couples and girls’ groups looking to celebrate love. A weekend holiday also means that these tables and tickets book up fast, so don’t get cold feet. Book now before the best seats are gone.
Note: This is not an exhaustive list of Valentine’s Day events in Atlanta. Events that were sold out at the time of writing were not included.
