Do you live & date in Nashville? Today I’m sharing 33 ideas for a date night in town, just in time for this coming Valentines Day! I also think they would work just as well for Galentine’s Day. Did I miss any suggestions? Feel free to add your ideas in the comments below.

1. You can’t go wrong with a classic dinner date. Some of my favorite newer restaurants in town are The Green Pheasant, Liberty Common, and Lyra.
2. See a classic or unique film at The Belcourt Theater.
3. Arrington Vineyards is open all year round for wine tasting, and they have enclosures in the colder months that keep patrons warm, so cold February weather won’t be a problem. You can contact them directly to arrange buses to and from Nashville for large groups.
4. City Winery also offers wine tastings and is more central to Nashville Proper.
5. Hand pour a candle at The Candle Bar (2 locations, East Nashville & Berry Hill).
6. Volunteer together for a shared favorite cause. See a full list of upcoming opportunities via Hands on Nashville here.
7. Take a hike at Edwin Warner Park, Percy Warner Park, or Percy Priest Lake.
8. Reach new heights while rock climbing at The Crag.
9. The Adventure Science Center is always fun for all ages, but they have one of their Way Late Play Dates (a 21+ only event) coming up on February 7. Register here.
10. If you’re dog people, take your furbaby to the Shelby Dog Park to run and meet some new friends.
11. If you’re cat people, check our Mewsic City Café, Nashville’s first cat café.
12. If you’re just generally animal people, visit the Nashville Zoo to meet lots of different types.
13. Visit one of Nashville’s breweries. There are several amazing options in every neighborhood, but my personal favorites are Yazoo and Flying Saucer Draught Emporium.
14. Or, you could take a brewery tour to see which one you like best.
15. Go go-karting at Music City Indoor Karting.
16. Catch a jazz improv show at Bourbon Street Blue’s & Boogie Bar.
17. Find Love Circle (something I have not done yet).
18. The iconic Fleetwood Mac make the Nashville stop on their new tour on February 27 at Bridgestone Arena. Tickets here.
19. Get cozy by the outdoor fireplace at Urban Cowboy’s Public House.
20. Make the pilgrimage to Jack Daniels distillery for some whiskey tasting. Tennessee Whiskey Tours offers packages that include transport to & from Nashville.
21. See a show at a classic Nashville music house like the Ryman or the Grand Ole Opry. (Kacey Musgraves, Sarah McLaughlin, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and The Brothers Osborne are on the Ryman’s docket for February.)
22. Practice your swing at Top Golf.
23. Take a tour of the art studios downtown like 21c Museum and Zeitgeist Gallery.
24. Have brunch with a side of bowling at Pinewood Social.
25. The Nashville Symphony will be playing the music of John Williams February 7-10. Even if you’re not a big orchestra aficionado, you’ll definitely recognize this composer’s work (he wrote the music for movies like Star Wars and Harry Potter). Tickets here.
26. Learn how chocolate is made at Olive & Sinclair (then reward yourselves with some of their fine confections).
27. Run with the East Nasties (meet at the corner of 11th & Holly St every Wednesday at 6pm, rain or shine). Then, head to 3 Crow Bar with the Nasties for 2-for-1 drinks.
28. Take in the view from the rooftop at L.A. Jackson (with a nice cocktail, of course).
29. Cheer on the Predators at Bridgestone arena – they have a home game on February 14 (but also on February 10 & 21).
30. Dillon Francis will be playing two shows at Marathon Music Works, February 17 & 18. We don’t get a ton of EDM concerts in Nashville, so this is a treat. Tickets here.
31. Test your pool skills at Melrose Billiard Parlor for a little friendly competition.
32. Reserve an igloo on the rooftop of the Bobby Hotel for a cozy view of downtown.
33. Learn to square-dance amongst the patrons at Robert’s Western World (I had to put one Broadway bar on here!)
