Reach out and feel the love
Some see Valentine's Day as a good excuse to be unabashedly lame about their "fuzzy-wuzzy-cuddle-muffin"; others argue that it's a load of commercialist palaver; and others still would sooner go die in a hole than face hoards of publicly-canoodling couples. Whatever your thoughts, Cupid's day is coming soon and this year it falls on Saturday night. So whether you need to escape the sappy lovers or avoid the cynical singletons, it's time to get organised.

Oyster Bar
Adelaide
|
Get in the mood for love at this oyster and wine bar. Known for their aphrodisiac properties, the ocean-dwelling gems are perfect fare for such a lusty day. A note to the lads: Although they keep tabs on their oyster-eating champions, this isn't the night to attempt the record.

Silo Restaurant & Lounge Bar
Newcastle

Love is in the sea breeze at this popular harbour-side spot. An area of the bar will be reserved for some whisperings of sweet nothings and pre-dinner cocktails. Then, for $75 each, you and your

Monsoons Bar & Restaurant
Darwin
|
Leave the heat of Darwin outside and focus on steaming up the conversation inside. With 18 beers on tap and a fruity collection of cocktails, a low-key Valentine's Day at the local is anything but boring. The Bed-time with BJ cocktail is bound to be a favourite on the night.

Onba
North Hobart
|
Boasting a cocktail list longer than Rapunzel's braid, this bar also does tapas, cake and coffee after dark. Plenty of flirty selections can be made from the 101 cocktails on offer, but since it's the international day of Cupid, you won't be able to resist the P.S. I Love You dessert cocktail.

Busy blokes take note: Here's your chance to kill two birds with one cocktail. Take the missus to this luxurious bar and order the Linneys Elit Martini; she'll get a night out and she'll get to keep the handcrafted sterling silver cocktail skewer, complete with shimmering Broome pearl pendant.
