It may be too late for reservations at Memphis’ top restaurants but don’t worry, we got you! Pro-tip from a fellow procrastinar- forgo the reservation and check out the bars at your favorite restaurants! They usually offer a full menu, happy hour specials and that special ambiance we all want on February 14th. If happy hour isn’t your dream date night, we’ve got some super fun alternative activities as well!
Here are a few last-minute alternatives (and we promise, your secret is safe with us!)
- Get your move on at the Blue Suede Ballroom with dance classes on Valentine’s Day. The studio is offering tango, salsa, and rumba classes for you and your love. Tickets are $30 per couple per class.
- Or, you can let loose safely at the Sip, Eat, Smash & Paint event at Craze Rage Room. The $50 per person ticket includes breakables, painting, chocolate covered strawberries, and champagne.
