Love is in the air in #downtownlex… or, at least, plenty of great things to do are in the air! Cupid is getting his arrows ready, and we’re here to lend a helping hand with dinner, drinks, and entertainment options on February 14. Best of all, you won’t be seeing red with all of the discounts and great deals that are available through our member businesses.
If you want to go with the old standby of flowers, chocolate and a nice dinner, we’ve got you covered: Jeff Ruby’s has its filet mignon & lobster feature for only $65 per person. This special includes Jeff Ruby’s 6 oz. filet mignon, 6 oz. lobster tail, Freddie salad, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. This great deal goes through February 15th, in case you can’t get a reservation on the big night 😉 Ethereal Brewing Public House is featuring a special menu from Salt & Vinegar– choose from pasta with clam sauce, filet mignon or tuna tataki. If you’re on the hunt for a great downtown view, look no further than Infinity Rooftop Restaurant. Enjoy the $100 per couple feature with 8 oz. Prime Filet Ribeye w/ grilled prawns, asparagus & side salad
paired with a glass of Apothic Red Wine. One more awesome option is Lockbox Restaurant at 21c Museum Hotel. They’ve got a special four-course, prix-fixe feast that’ll make your heart skip a beat. This unique menu goes until February 17, so once again, if you miss out on a V-Day reservation, double down on the apology roses and reschedule for later in the week!
If entertainment is on your mind, Lexington Opera House is the place to be, because it’s all about the legendary Aretha Franklin! The electrifying music of the “Queen of Soul,” will be performed by LexPhil with a live band and powerful guest vocalists for a night celebrating some of her greatest hits: Chain of Fools, Think, and of course, R-E-S-P-E-C-T. This concert is sure to have you dancing in the aisles! Not in the mood for a concert? We totally R-E-S-P-E-C-T that decision – head over to Old North Bar at Greyline Station for Paint and Sip Wednesday! Or, if you’d rather *be* the concert, Night Kitty Karaoke is doing a Valentine’s Day party from February 14-18. It’s the perfect place to belt out those love songs, and with a special $4 love potion drink, the lyrics will really flow!
Sometimes the best Valentine’s Day gift is one that doesn’t take place on February 14… and there’s no better time to take advantage of some V-Day deals: tickets for select shows (concerts and stand-up comedy!) are $14 off at Rupp Arena and Lexington Opera House with code VDAY24. This includes comedians like Air Shaffir, and concerts like Lynyrd Skynyrd… because nothing says romance quite like the extended guitar solo of “Free Bird” right?
To borrow a line from that legendary classic rock anthem, there are “too many places you’ve got to see” on Valentine’s Day 2024 in Lexington. So whatever you’ve got on your menu, there’s an option for you downtown!
