DINNER AT BRIDGETTE BAR 

Bridgette Bar is a chill locale with arty flair for clever, chef-driven small plates & entrees, plus unique cocktails. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner! 

SKATING AT OLYMPIC PLAZA

Olympic Plaza is one of Calgary’s most scenic spots, with a great view of downtown and fantastic lighting – and it’s the perfect spot for a Valentine’s date. Plus, there are some fun food options close by to keep everything nice and close. 

GO BOWLING AT NATIONAL 

Bowling is such a fun date night activity! Challenge each other to a friendly round of bowling in an adults-only atmosphere (after 7 p.m.) and choose your eats from the full National menu. Their lanes accommodate up to eight people, so this is a great spot for double or group dates as well. Extend the evening by playing ping pong or pinball and end the night upstairs with beers at National on 10th.

TAKE A SELF-GUIDED HOT CHOCOLATE TOUR

The timing of Calgary's delectable festival in February is not a mere coincidence. This Valentine's Day, grab your warmest clothes and join in on the fun at the YYC Hot Chocolate Fest. Dedicate the whole weekend to trying out as many unique hot chocolate creations as possible, keep track of your favorites, and cast your vote for the best one. Not only will you have exciting things to discuss, but you'll also get some fresh air and savor delicious treats with your loved one!

DO AN AT-HOME BEER OR WINE TASTING

Sometimes a date night right at home in your BLVD Beltline suite is just what you need. Put together a charcuterie board (or pick one up from our neighbours at MeetNCheese), and pick your poison. Whether it’s brews, wine, or whatever your preferred drink – pick up a few and spend the evening drinking and talking with your special someone.
