Whether you’re looking for a night to celebrate your love or you’re seeking to swill away the holiday, an abundance of options are available for celebrating Valentine’s Day in Charm City. We’ve chosen a few from the many that will satisfy either motive. Opting to Netflix and chill? We have some food and drink ideas for that, too. In between all of the Netflix and “chilling,” of course. Whatever you choose to do with your partner (or not), may the Valentine’s Day odds be ever in your favor.

 

This rooftop restaurant in Eager Park is extending its Valentine’s Day celebration with its “10 Days of Cupid” menu from February 9th through February 19th. The menu from the new restaurant features a three course dinner for two for $99 (or add a bottle of wine for $129). (800 N Wolfe St)

 

Chef Scott Hines composed a creative four course menu for the holiday ($75/pp) while Lead Bartender Brendan Dorr and his team will be shaking and stirring unique cocktails and serving selected wines to accompany the prix-fixe meal. (2 N Charles St, 443-692-6172)

Royal Sonesta Harbor Court
On February 9, 10, and 14, this downtown hotel overlooking the Inner Harbor will offer a three course menu for $65/pp. The crab cakes and steak look appealing, but we’re really interested in those liqueur infused chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. (550 Light St, 410-234-0550)

 

Pratt Street Ale House
Pratt Street Ale House will have a special menu with a featured cocktail, entree, and dessert running from February 9 through February 14. We have our eyes on that cocktail, though.

The Owl Bar’s Cupid Rhymes with Stupid Anti-Valentine’s Day Party is the place to be if this Valentine’s Day is more about expressing your undying love for libations. Order food from the “Love Bites” menu or just swill some Anti-Love Potion Cocktails. Bring a photo of your ex and garner a free shot. (1 E Chase St, 410-347-0888)

 

The Windup Space
With drink specials and live music by local artists, Junkluck #3: Valentine’s Edition at the Windup Space is the place to celebrate being solo. The word salad style name of the event - Junkluck - means it’s a junkfood potluck, so don’t forget to bring some bites to share. (12 W North Ave, 410-244-8855)
 

Prefer to celebrate your love (or lust) in private? Plan ahead and order authentic Maryland crab cakes from Colossal Blue and pair them with a local wine like Boordy’s Rockfish (a crisp blend of seyval, chardonnay, and vidal), or a local brew like Old Oriole Park Beer. If you’re looking for sweets to finish the meal, we’re fairly certain your valentine wouldn’t balk at the idea of some truffles infused with Heavy Seas beer, from Parfections, for dessert.
