Valentine’s Pints & Paint Night
February 9th – 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
(Ticketed event)
Tired of the same old Valentine’s routine? Skip the candlelit dinners and awkward
serenades—join Merridale for a hilariously heartfelt Pints & Paint Night instead!
This isn’t your average painting class. You’ll sit across from your partner or bestie,
channel your inner Picasso, and paint a portrait of them! But here’s the twist—no
peeking until the masterpieces are complete! That’s right, no cheating, no sneaky
glances, and definitely no calling for a redo when you realize your portrait could double as modern art.
Only 25 pairs of tickets (50 total) are available for this Pints & Paint Night, so don’t miss out—grab your tickets today!
Valentine’s Day Dinner
(Reservations required)
On February 14th, Merridale invites guests to a memorable four-course dinner, aptly named “A Cozy Night in Italy.”
This culinary journey, inspired by the warmth and romance of Italy, features dishes crafted from regionally sourced ingredients. It’s an opportunity for guests to revel in the company of loved ones, be it a partner, family, or friends, and enjoy an evening of companionship wrapped into a taste of Italy.
Take away the pressure of shopping for a present and enhance your dinner reservation with a gift package from Merridale. Add this to your reservation at the time of booking and Merridale will have the gift ready and waiting at your table when you arrive on the 14th!
