Looking for ideas for date night?

We’ve got you covered with some suggestions for a romantic night in Bloomington-Normal. Spending a night away from home can help you to unwind with your special someone and keep the romance alive.

Start the night off at Station Two Twenty for dinner, where you will find an exciting menu that is not only socially conscious, but very delicious! The farm-to-table restaurant prepares its mouthwatering dishes with ingredients from local McLean County farms. If you can’t decide what succulent dish to order, enjoy a sampling of the kitchen’s best with the Menu Tour or Farm Tour. The four course Menu Tour and eight course Farm Tour will take you on a culinary exploration of Central Illinois’ hearty flavors.

After dinner, impress your date with a screening at the Normal Theater. This classic theater is furnished with breathtaking restored art-deco décor from the 1930s. Offering a wide array of classic, independent and student films, the Normal Theater has something for everyone.

End your night on a sweet note. Just around the corner, head to Cherry Berry Yogurt Bar for a late night snack. Providing scrumptious soft serve yogurt, you’ll find it hard to believe that so many options are fat-free. Take plenty of time to enjoy the ambience and savor the flavor since this specialty yogurt bar is open until 11 p.m. on weekends.
