Where To Spend Valentine’s Day In San Diego

SAN DIEGO, CA — Valentine’s Day may just be a Hallmark holiday drawn from a rather dark, ancient Roman tradition, but it’s still a great excuse to make your loved ones feel special with chocolates, flowers or a night on the town.

In and around San Diego, there are plenty of date ideas, dinner deals, prix fixe menus and beloved restaurants with reservations still open. But you’d better not wait to snag a reservation because this year, Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14), falls on a Friday and you can bet it’ll be a busy one.

If you aren’t able to make it happen on Friday, there’s no shame in making plans for the weekend that follows. Whether you’re Valentine is your significant other, a crush, or a fellow single friend this year — happy planning!

Around the state, some chains will also be offering deals. Rally’s will offer two Big Bacon burgers for $4, while Chick-fil-A will offer its annual heart-shaped tray.

In San Diego, there are also plenty of events to explore this upcoming Valentine's Day, including a "no bollocks" Valentine's Day At The Pub, the Shakespeare Pub to be exact. The bar is offering half off all bottles of wine. Details here.

And of course, there's also a San Diego club crawl for singles, hosted by Nasstive Entertainment. Details on that here.

Here’s a list of eateries in San Diego to make reservations at this Valentine’s (or Galentine’s) Day:

• Tako
