Love in Liberty Hill: Valentine's Date Night Ideas


Valentine’s Day is just around the corner — have you made your date night reservations yet?! Liberty Hill is home to romantic and fun dining options for you and your special someone to celebrate. How about a nice Italian dinner or a casual and fun café adventure? Or maybe you prefer a unique experience at a local distillery or winery, where you can try wines, brews, and liquors. You can’t go wrong!

Bella Sera

Italian food with a romantic ambiance may be just what you’re looking for on Valentine’s. Bella Sera is a family-owned restaurant offering an atmosphere and environment straight from Italy. You can start with caprese, bruschetta, antipasto, a fresh salad, or a traditional soup like pasta fagioli. Then, move on to a pasta dish like spaghetti marinara or the pasta sampler with lasagna, cannelloni, and manicotti. Or choose a specialty like linguine puttanesca, veal saltimbocca, salmon piccata, shrimp scampi, or 16-oz. rib eye marsala. If you have room, finish with Italian cream cake or caramel mascarpone cheesecake. Now that’s amore!

Dahlia Café

For a casual, fun adventure, make reservations at Dahlia Café, where you can dine outside under the backyard oaks or inside the farmhouse. You’ll enjoy homemade, dressed-up country entrées like shrimp and grits, Cajun tilapia, chicken fried steak, and blackened salmon with one of their signature sides—homemade onion rings, loaded baked potato, or house salad with tomato, cucumber, and carrot. If you’re in the mood for a burger, try the Burning Ring of Fire, Western, or Steakhouse. Then, have a decadent dessert like bourbon pecan pie or cinnamon bread pudding. It’s the perfect destination for you and your person to spend quality time!

Fire Oak Distillery

Have an unforgettable date night at Fire Oak Distillery, where you’ll find hand-crafted whiskey and vodka distilled in copper stills. If you like vodka, their award-winning Fire Oak Premium Vodka is smooth and crisp. In fact, it’s in the top 5 of all vodkas rated by Proof 66, putting it in the 99th percentile as the very best in class! Don’t forget to try their Texas Bourbon, which earned gold and silver medals for its big, bold taste.

Thirsty Mule Winery & Vineyard

If you prefer sips over snacks, taste wine, beer, and liquors at the Thirsty Mule Winery & Vineyard. They have red, white, sweet, dessert, and sparkling wines with flavors like chocolate caramel port and watermelon/strawberry. You can bring your own food if you dine outside or have a meat and cheese tray or other snacks with a tasting. Sample beers, bourbons, whiskeys, and vodka from Schitz Creek Distillery/Brewery in the same place for a diverse and tasty Valentine’s date.
