Special romantic days don’t (just) mean grand gestures, candle-lit dinners, and romantic settings. There are so many things you can do in Bangalore by yourself or with your girls (or even your mum or sibling) to celebrate the best kind of love during February. Below are our favourite spots in the city for you to have fun on Valentine’s by yourself or Galentine’s Day this year. But of course, a reservation at date night spots in Bangalore or an appointment at these amazing spas in the city are always good ideas too.
Solo Dates To Galentines: 7 Spots In Town That Are More Fun Than A Relationship
National Gallery Of Modern Art
Perfect for solo dates or with the girls, there's nothing like spending time at one of the city's best art galleries, NGMA. The space is so beautiful and there's plenty of art to look at and take in. Once you (and your friends) have taken in all the art, be sure to take a walk around the garden area. It's so peaceful and quiet, and you can park yourself on one of the benches and read a book or listen to the sounds of the birds. Or better, bring a board game that you and your friends can play.
The Firefly Terrace
The art and craft studio in Jayanagar is a perfect spot for you and your girls to tap into your creative side. There are plenty of DIY workshops and classes that you can sign up for a day of fun. Think Acrylic painting, Decoupage, Dreamcatcher Making, Mosaic Tile Art, Painting, and Macrame-making.
Wine In Progress
City's newest wine bar (they previously existed as a weekday pop-up bar) is a quaint 12-seater wine bar that offers plenty of good wine, soju, sake, wine cocktails, and small plates. Perfect for all kinds of dates, we recommend you WhatsApp them to reserve a table, and make it a party by yourself or with your Galentine's date. Nothing like a mother-daughter bonding sesh over some good food and wine.
Blossom Book House
Solo dates at a bookstore? We're fans of this and we do this often as well. We love the smell of old books, and there's nothing like getting lost in the thousands and thousands of books. If you are here with a friend, then nothing like picking up books for each other or just discussing every book there is.
Slurp Studio
If you want to plan a day of cooking and having fun while doing it by yourself or with your friends, head to one of the city's best cooking schools — Slurp Studio. Chefs Sarabjeet Singh and Faseeulla S can curate a cooking plan for you based on a theme or your requirement and then they will curate one that fits your plan and budget. Or you could go for their tailor-made classes that cover everything from Asian to Italian, Parsi to Peshawari, and everything in between.
Ranga Shankara
This iconic spot is great for getting into the thick of Bangalore's theatre culture. They host around 400 plays every year, which essentially means there's always a play happening at any given time of the day. Perfect for solo dates, get yourself a ticket to a diverse range of productions that cater to a variety of theatre enthusiasts and age groups.
Loco Bear
This is a group activity and one that will take you back to your childhood days when you used to go to arcade centres at malls with your friends. Loco Bear has everything from bowling to laser tag, and even an indoor trampoline park. Let your hair down and go for a date that will have you jumping, skipping, running, and making you feel like kids at an amusement park.
