I love a great girl’s night (or day). There’s something about spending quality time with my girlfriends while enjoying some of my favorite activities that always makes my heart happy. Life is busy and coordinating schedules can be challenging, but it’s always worth it when we’re able to find a day and time that works for everyone.
Some days we decide to go casual and other nights, we choose to get dolled up and hit the town. Either way, we always enjoy the company and the destination. And what better time to plan a great girl’s night than for celebrating Galentine’s Day in Detroit?!
My perfect Galentine’s Day includes great food, strong drinks, and a fun activity! And Downtown Detroit has some amazing options. Here are a few of my faves:
Adelina
Adelina opened last year and it’s quickly become one of my favorite restaurants downtown. They serve pastas made in-house and a variety of other dishes including veal, lamb, and fish. Their bar is great for grabbing a drink! Or, you can reserve a table for a larger party and enjoy the food and ambiance. And don’t forget to order dessert!
Candy Bar @ The Siren Hotel
Candy Bar is a cute, all-pink bar inside of The Siren Hotel that’s intimate enough to ensure great conversation and lots of laughs, and is pretty perfect for celebrating Galentine’s Day in Detroit with friends. They have a cocktail menu with loads of options, so everyone is sure to find something they’ll enjoy.
Eatóri Detroit
Another one of my favorite brunch spots downtown is Eatóri, which is a restaurant and market. You can enjoy brunch (or dinner) and then shop their market for wine, pasta, specialty cheeses, and more. My favorite dish is the shrimp & grits but everything I’ve ever tried here has been delicious. My girlfriends and I always have a great time here!
The Lip Bar
The Lip Bar is one of my favorite make-up and skincare brands. Their shop on Woodward is a great place to try on shades of lipstick, blush, and foundation. Bawse Lady is literally my favorite red lipstick on the planet and looks great on all skin tones! And, their staff is super friendly and knowledgeable with shade matching and recommendations. This spot is a must-visit when celebrating Galentine’s Day in Detroit!
Parc
If you want brunch with great views, you have to check out Parc. They’re located in Campus Martius and face the fountain so you’re guaranteed a great view! Parc has a great cocktail menu and you have to check out their cinnamon rolls, they’re amazing! They’re also open for lunch and dinner.
Vesper Bookstore + Wine Bar
Two of my favorite things on Earth are wine and books, so Vesper is a little like heaven on Earth for me! Part bookstore, part wine bar: you and your girlfriends can enjoy a glass of wine while discussing the latest books or shopping for something new. And, they’re open late, so you can stop by after dinner!
Willis Show Bar
For live music and fun drinks, grab your girlfriends and head to Willis Show Bar. The vibes are always good and they feature a variety of music styles and artists, ranging from ’70s music to current hits so you’re sure to hear something that’ll have you dancing.
No matter the details, the time spent together and memories made are always the best part of any girl’s night. So, make the time. Pull out your calendar. Even if it takes two dozen text messages to find a day and time that works for you and your girlfriends, do it for yourself. Your heart will thank you.
