The Anti-Valentine’s: Places For Singles On February 14th

Ah, Valentine’s Day. The most…let’s say “polarizing”…holiday on a calender.

No doubt that many Houstonians will basically fall into one of two camps come February 14th, with some happy couples sitting down for a (hopefully reserved) romantic dinner in a nice restaurant, while those…let’s say “in-between relationships”…will be sitting down for a (hopefully reserved) Redbox movie and a pint of Häagen-Dazs.

For you young, loving couples out there; enjoy. The rest of us? Put down that ice cream. Let’s PARTY! Here are some places that are specifically serving up entertainment to the single, ready-to-mingle crowd. Because by gosh, we’re gonna have fun.

“To Hell With Love” Fashion Show and Concert

There will be no trace of cheesy and romantic cliches at Scout Bar tonight during the “To Hell With Love” fashion show and concert… only rock music and tattoos! Live performances by bands such as ERASETHEVIRUS, I.D.R, and Static Collision as well as a fashion show by the scantily clad Coffin Case girls make for the perfect escape from the paraphernalia of Valentine’s Day. Cover is $10 for the 18 and over event.

Love Sux Event at Howl at the Moon

Join in on an Anti-Valentine’s Day sing-a-long at Howl at the Moon tonight in Midtown! Nothing cures the ails of Valentine’s Day like singing at the top of your lungs while dueling pianos rock out all of your favorite anti-love songs. And if that isn’t enough, you can drown your love related sorrows in a famous Howl at the Moon “Bad Romance” bucket.

Anti-Valentine’s Day Party & Burlesque Show at House of Blues

If you’re in the mood for mingling during this Valentine’s holiday, the most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes in Houston can be found partying in the Foundation Room at House of Blues, Tuesday night. $15 gets you a ticket to the Ruby Revue show while $35 gets you a buffet as well for the 21 and up event.

So who needs the overly romantic gestures or the over-crowded restaurants brimming with nauseating scenes of P.D.A? There’s plenty to do for a Houston-area-single-and-ready-to-mingle individual this Valentine’s Day holiday! Or we could all just dive back into our ice cream and wait for the candy to go on sale.
