The Perfect Valentine’s Date

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it’s time to start planning your date night in Milwaukee. If you’re looking for the ultimate date night experience in a city best known for is breweries and its gorgeous views of Lake Michigan, you’ve found the right place. Start your night off right by getting a limousine to take you from location to location. There will be no hassle when trying to move from one location to another. With Valentine’s Day being one of the busiest days of the year for the restaurant industry, you’ll never have to worry about parking. Plus, you can ensure that everything is planned to perfection inside the limousine with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries.

Beer for You, Dear?

Once you’ve been picked up by your driver for the evening, head over to the Sprecher Brewing Company for a delicious treat. These beers are a favorite of both men and women in the area, as they range from stout to sweet. With your admission, you get four 8-oz pours of beer in any variety you’d like. There’s also a beautiful beer hall to relax in while you taste the different flavors and brews.

Braised Dinner

When you’ve had your fill of custom brewed beers, head over to Braise, Milwaukee’s newest locally owned and operated restaurant. It features contemporary American dishes, with seasonal ingredients provided by local farmers. At Braise, the bread is baked in-house, and it is the only item that remains the same year-round. The menu also contains small plates and butcher-board dishes. For a real treat, try the heirloom tomato salad with purslance and ricotta. Another local favorite is the game sausage, a dish topped with white bean puree, pesto, and picked onions. The dessert menu varies by season as well, but it often features delicious fruits and a rosemary cake with rhubarb rose preserves. Also, don’t miss out on the drinks—infused liquors, wines, and craft beers all await your arrival.

Speakin’ Easy

After dinner, if you’re still going strong, consider heading over to Safe House, a speakeasy style bar, restaurant, and museum. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that keeps the locals coming back for more. You even have to whisper a secret password at the door, but don’t worry, you’ll know what it is.

Movie Night

If the speakeasy bar isn’t quite your scene, maybe you should head over to UW-Milwaukee’s Festival of Films in French. It features both old and contemporary French films in a quaint setting, and the films are free. The festival runs from February 8–17.

Stargazing

For something really unique, head over to Romancing the Stars. It’s a cosmos tour with a special Valentine’s twist. Sit back and enjoy the views of the galaxy set to music. It’s a real treat, and many people have made it their annual Valentine’s Day tradition.

Garden Music

Finally, consider taking a stroll through the domes of the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory. It’s open until 9 p.m. on Valentine’s Day and features a special edition of Music Under Glass, with music playing softly during your walk throughout the indoor gardens. Milwaukee is an excellent place for Valentine’s Day. Start a new tradition this year by hiring a limousine service to take you around to the Third Ward bars and restaurants, the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory, or maybe even just a long ride on the town. The possibilities are endless. If you’re looking for great gift ideas, be sure to check out Indulgence Chocolatiers, which offers truffles, toffee, and other sweets. Just like chocolate, a date night in Milwaukee is truly a treat.
