Girls' Guide to Galentine's

This Valentine’s Day, collect your girls and hit the town for the ultimate night out

Love is in the East Cobb air this February. But who needs a man when you’ve got your best girls by your side? Galentine’s Day revolves around the celebration of friendships in your life. If you’re looking to plan an unforgettable girls' night out, we’ve rounded up the perfect mix of activities to ensure a night full of fun and friendship.

After slipping on your best dress with your nicest heels or sneakers, it’s time to gather the girls. Tumble into an Uber and head to Marietta for your first stop of the night: the Avenue at East Cobb. This vibrant shopping and dining destination is hosting yet another Galentine’s Day celebration on Thursday, February 13th from 5:30 to 7:30PM. This can’t-miss event includes restaurant and retailer specials, complimentary wine samples, huggable llamas, and more. Don’t forget to partake in their photo opportunities as well to ensure a well-captured evening. 

If retail therapy isn’t your cup of tea, venture over to The Art Place - Mountain View. Let your creativity run wild with one of their art classes, whether painting, sculpting, or experimenting with mixed media, and craft one-of-a-kind keepsakes for you and your girls to remember the night. Check out their schedule online to see what Galentine’s-themed workshops this Cobb County gem offers.

Afterwards, it’s time for craft cocktails at Eleanor’s in Smyrna. This hidden speakeasy inside Muss & Turner’s offers a unique atmosphere with plenty of creative cocktails and mocktails for toasting to friendship. Its cozy, intimate vibe allows you to catch up with your girls in an unparalleled way. Don’t forget to try their signature drinks or ask the bartender to surprise you with something unique.

To end the night on a sweet note, swing by Sweet Hut Bakery and Cafe in Marietta. Its modern setting amplifies the allure of its unique Asian-inspired sweet treats. From pastries and cakes to bubble teas, this bakery offers something for everyone to enjoy. Either share a few treats there or grab some to-go for the ride home, concluding your Galentine’s night with a delicious ending.
