So Valentines day is tomorrow. What are you going to do?

Events for Singles...

Chick's Oyster Bar

8PM-12AM

Parking: Free valet

If you are a local you probably know plenty about Chick's (on Shore Drive, not Chix on the Beach). If you aren't familiar with the establishment, it gives off a very "I just got out of college" vibe. Normally super crowded on the weekends, it's you're typical bar that mainly the locals know. And honestly, if you go with someone that is native of VB, it'll probably be a high school reunion, whether it's the class of 2013, or the class of 1985. For this event they're going to have a special $5 Pink Crush, which if you've never been to VB, is literally our signature drink. If you are looking to completely forget you're single, this is exactly where you'll want to be.





Cavalier Hotel

6PM-11:59PM

Parking: Free valet

Wow. The Cavalier Hotel. Super fancy and elegant, and they even say JFK (my favorite president) stayed there. This event in their Raleigh Room is perfect for ladies just trying to go out with their girlfriends for a fun night out. According to the Facebook event (link above), they're even going to have elaborate decorations, a special cocktail, and live entertainment. I don't know about you, but this event sounds like the perfect excuse to get fancy and drink even fancier cocktails.









Keagan's Irish Pub, Town Center

Single's Awareness Party

9PM

Parking: Town Center free public self-parking Single's Awareness Party9PMParking: Town Center free public self-parking

Well this one sounds interesting. Keagan's is known for their lively atmosphere in the Town Center of Virginia Beach. According to their event, there will be live music, and if you bring a picture of your ex to shred, you'll get a free shooter. Free booze is free booze, right? Who said it had to be a legit picture of your ex...





For the couples... or really anyone



Commonwealth is for Lovers!

3PM-11PM

Parking: Free valet

I will probably talk about Commonwealth a lot in this blog, especially when spring comes around and they have a crazy amount of sours (which are my personal favorite). We tend to frequent Commonwealth at least once a month. It's a great place for couples, groups, and especially dogs. Commonwealth, just like many other breweries in our area, tend to have great food trucks as well. They're going to have a photo booth and romantic comedies playing in their back rooms as well. For this event they will have a new Paramour Raspberry Gose featured. I had it last weekend and absolutely loved it, even though in instagram posts they are calling it a sour IPA, which I would agree is the taste you get from it, but more to come from when we actually go to this event this weekend.



Back Bay's Farmhouse**

Dark Beer and Desserts

6 PM-9PM

Parking: Free valet

It is definitely that time of year for stouts, and this seems like the perfect event if you are really trying to find some new ones. Back Bay Farmhouse has a super cute ambiance, its literally a farmhouse in the middle of Kempsville with great outdoor space and lawn games. For this event they're rolling out three special stouts, one of which is named Queen Anne's Revenge, which is pretty cool (and it's literally 10% ABV). But if you also love cupcakes this is definitely the place to go because they're going to have Twisted Sister's Cupcakes to pair with the different stouts as well.



Wasserhund Brewing Company**

Golden Oreo Release & Valentines Specials

Open to Close

Parking: Parking lot

OMG Wasserhund. Another place we absolutely love. This is the only place I am willing to brave the feeder roads of hilltop for. They always have amazing pizza and their patio is a great place for the doggos in the spring and summer. But what is really cool about this event is that they're having a date night special of 2 pints, a medium pizza, and a dessert for only $35, now that is a steal. They're also bringing back their Golden Oreo Lager along with a new beer, DogEO Chocolate Oreo Dunkel. All of which sounds like a bomb dinner.

Closing Thoughts

Whether you're single and ready to mingle, or with your BF/GF, these events would be a perfect way to spend your holiday weekend at the beach. Friday starts off my 3 day weekend so I know I'll be super excited to let loose. I have provided the parking information for each event. If you choose to go to an establishment with free valet parking, don't forget to tip, because they're literally running to go get your car. But don't forget to have a fun and safe weekend, and as always take advantage of Uber and Lyft to get home safely!

At this point I'm sure the a lot of you are super annoyed with Valentine's Day coming up this weekend. Yeah fancy dinner's and chocolates are cool, but this year why don't you try and mix it up and go with a fun local drinking experience. That's exactly what me and the BF are doing this year. Less stressful, most likely less expensive (depending on how much you drink), and if you're single there's no better way to celebrate National Single's Awareness Day.
