Further down the leafy Portlands you can find Tina, We Salute You. The artsy bar famous for it’s potent cocktails will be celebrating the big day with a Big Gay Quiz from 7.30pm! Drink, eat, answer questions and try to remember why you fell for your partner! All are welcome to join them for the evening.
If you and your partner enjoy working out together then Better Gym East Village is giving you the chance to bring your partner and/or friend for free to the gym for a workout and/or class.
Whether you have a partner or not, you can prepare for Valentines in style at East Village’s very own Beauty Salon Regency Beauty with a bit of pampering. In the run up to the big day they are offering half price eyebrow thread with a manicure or shellac manicure/pedicure. Alternatively if you are looking for the perfect gift for your loved one a ‘Regency Beauty Gift Voucher’ as the perfect option for an excellent indulgent experience.
Elsewhere you can celebrate the day (or drown your sorrows!) in East Village’s pub Neighbourhood, buy that perfect gift at Olive Loves Alfie East or enjoy a candlelit dinner at Darkhorse Restaurant or Chinese street food specialists Mama Lan. Live nearby? Then have an evening in with an award winning pizza from Firezza.
So head to East Village this Valentines Day whether it’s for food, drinks, pampering or just to enjoy a romantic walk through the peaceful green spaces and wetlands of E20.
