Updated for Valentine’s Day 2024
Don’t have a Valentine’s Day date? No problem! Atlanta hosts numerous events for couples on Valentine’s Day. However, this diverse city provides plenty of options for those leading independent lifestyles. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a good laugh, pamper yourself, celebrate with friends or even meet someone new, kick off a fantastic long week of love!
Have the Last Laugh
Is your luck with dating a joke? Everyone has a few horrible dating stories and some really good ones to share. Beginning February 14, Dad’s Garage will host a five-night improv show lineup to add a few good laughs to your love day plans. With other comedy venues like Laughing Skull and Whole World Theatre, Atlanta’s comedy scene is one of the best in the country and the perfect place to face February 14. If you’re recently single, these venues allow you to have the last laugh while hanging out with your friends.
Blow Off Some Steam
There are thousands of luxurious, indulgent spas in Atlanta and the metro area. Thousands! Couples’ massages hit their peak around Valentine’s Day, but there’s nothing wrong with giving yourself some TLC. The Hallmark holiday is stressful in all aspects. Book a rightfully earned spa day for the only one who needs care and attention right now—you! Plus, many spas offer a great discount for being a first-timer. Some of Atlanta’s most glorious spas include The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Atlanta, Bliss Spa, Exhale Spa, The Spa at Chateau Elan, Natural Body Spa and Shop and The Spa at Barnsley Resort.
Wine, Dine, Drink & Dance
Are you searching for a departure from the usual Valentine’s Day celebrations? Rally your friends and revel like rockstars at Atlanta’s top singles bars! Explore popular nightlife venues like The Cinema Tavern in Villa Rica, Buckhead Saloon and Moondogs. While you might not come across many Valentine’s Day specials, these spots offer the perfect opportunity to connect with other singles.
Meet Someone New
Perhaps you’ve reached a stage in life where you’re eager to socialize and meet new people. In that case, Atlanta hosts various single mixers throughout the city.

For a local twist, consider mingling at Terrapin Taproom at Battery Atlanta, where you might find your next love connection.
