Savannah, Georgia, is one of the most romantic cities in the South, making it the perfect setting for an unforgettable date night. With its historic charm, riverfront views, and cozy eateries, Savannah offers endless ways to celebrate love—whether it’s for a special occasion or just because. As Valentine’s Day approaches, now is the perfect time to plan a magical evening with your special someone. Here are some of the most romantic ideas for a date night in Savannah that will make your time together truly special.
-
A Candlelit Dinner at One of Savannah’s Finest Restaurants
Nothing sets the mood quite like an intimate dinner at one of Savannah’s top restaurants. Consider The Grey, a beautifully restored Greyhound bus station serving up world-class Southern cuisine, or Elizabeth on 37th, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and Lowcountry flavors in a historic mansion. For a waterfront dining experience, Vic’s on the River offers classic Southern dishes with breathtaking views of the Savannah River.
-
A Sunset Stroll Along the Riverfront
There’s something effortlessly romantic about walking hand in hand along River Street as the sun sets over the Savannah River. Listen to the sound of the water, enjoy the twinkling lights reflecting on the cobblestones, and stop at one of the many charming shops or rooftop bars for a cocktail with a view.
-
A Picnic in One of Savannah’s Famous Squares
For a more casual yet equally romantic date night in Savannah, pack a picnic basket with wine, cheese, and pastries from Back in the Day Bakery and find a quiet spot in one of Savannah’s 22 historic squares. Forsyth Park is always a favorite, especially near the iconic fountain, but Chippewa Square and Monterey Square offer equally charming settings.
-
Take a Carriage Ride Through Historic Savannah
Step back in time with a horse-drawn carriage ride through the cobblestone streets of Savannah. Whether you choose an afternoon tour or a twilight ride under the glow of gas lanterns, this is a unique way to experience the beauty of Savannah while cozied up next to your loved one.
-
A Night of Live Music and Cocktails
If you and your partner love live music, make your way to The Jinx, Jazz’d Tapas Bar, or Good Times Jazz Bar for a night of soulful sounds and craft cocktails. Whether it’s smooth jazz, blues, or an intimate acoustic set, Savannah’s music scene is perfect for setting the mood.
-
Enjoy a Theatrical Performance or Movie Night
For a cultured evening, catch a show at the Savannah Theatre, the oldest continually operating theater in the U.S., or attend a live performance at Lucas Theatre for the Arts. If a cozy movie night is more your style, Trustees Theater often shows classic films in a beautifully restored historic setting.
-
Indulge in a Sweet Treat Together
No date night in Savannah is complete without something sweet! Head to Leopold’s Ice Cream for an old-fashioned ice cream experience, or stop by Chocolat by Adam Turoni for artisan truffles and gourmet chocolates that feel almost too beautiful to eat (almost!).
-
A Private Boat Ride on the Savannah River
For a truly unforgettable evening, book a private sunset river cruise. Charter a boat for just the two of you and watch the city lights dance across the water while sipping champagne. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that captures Savannah’s magic.
Celebrating Valentine’s Day at Home in Luxury
While a night out in Savannah is always romantic, sometimes the best way to spend Valentine’s Day is in the comfort of home—especially when that home is at Upper East River.
