Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. If you haven’t made any plans with your sweetheart yet, here are eight ideas that still have availability, from dancing the night away to family-friendly meals.

Hop on a trolley with your plus one and explore three local favorites: Honeytree Meadery, East Nashville Beer Works, and Donut Distillery. As of writing this, there are only three spots left, so don’t wait! If you miss it, check out more tours with Music City Brew Hop.

Share a meal at Butcher & Bee, which has recently been updated with new decor and a new menu in celebration of its 10th anniversary. New menu items include fried potato cash rolls and whole grilled branzino, but don’t worry, the whipped feta is still there.

Learn how to two-step with or without a partner at 7 p.m., then listen to love songs while snacking on treats from a special V-Day food and drink menu from Sully’s Smoke Shack.

Maybe you’d rather swing dance with Debbi Bailes’ Big Band at Shelby Park Community Center. In addition to dance lessons, some desserts and non-alcoholic beverages will be available.

Listen to “The Siren of the South” Stephanie Adlington sing love songs and murder ballads — that’s right, murder ballads — at Rudy’s Jazz Room on both Feb. 13 and 14. Rudy’s has a full dinner menu to enjoy with your date.

Celebrate women’s artistic genius by taking your date to the Frist Art Museum’s newest exhibits: “In Her Place” and “Sistah Griot.” Afterwards, feast on grilled cheeses and tomato soup at the Café Cheeserie.

My kid absolutely wants in on Valentine’s Day, too. Jasper’s is serving heart-shaped pizza for the whole family, along with themed coloring sheets to keep kids busy while they wait for the food to arrive. Special desserts for the day include red velvet cake gelato.

If you want to keep the Valentine’s Day vibe the entire weekend, take a couples mixology class at Tall Tales Rooftop on Sunday, Feb. 15. Learn how to craft three cocktails, enjoy canapés, and receive an exclusive gift bag.
