Dinner and a Show
If a romantic but casual dinner is what you are looking for, then check out Medici. Their menu includes pizza, salads, and burgers along with an extensive offering of micro-brews and cocktails that will have your mouth watering. After dinner, be sure to check out the Normal Theater for a Valentine’s Day showing of the romantic favorite, Casablanca.

Catch a Game
Valentine’s Day can be celebrated on any day, so consider celebrating on Saturday. Go to The Pub II to grab some of their famous cheese balls and enjoy a game of darts with your honey. Afterward, watch the Illinois State University men’s basketball team take on their rival, Bradley University, at 7:00 pm.

Bring Out Your Inner Foodie
Start your date at Destihl Brewery with a guided beer tour and taste their wide variety of beers on tap. After drinks, enjoy some delicious organic food at Epiphany Farms Restaurant. The romantic backdrop at this local farm-to-table establishment will keep the sparks flying between you and your date.

Quaint and Quiet
If you want to avoid the traffic on Valentine’s Day, consider heading to your favorite local coffee shop with a book and your sweetheart. Enjoy the quiet time together as you sip on your favorite drink. Afterward, mosey over to Red Raccoon Games where you can sample any one of the 1500 games they have in stock. You may even want to purchase one to take home and play.
