Things to Do in Atlanta for Side Piece Day (February 15)
Let’s be real—February 15 has a reputation. Whether you call it Side Piece Day, “the day after Valentine’s,” or just a perfect excuse to go out without the Valentine’s Day crowds… Atlanta is a great city to do something fun, low-pressure, and memorable.
This list is for the people who want a night out that’s:
- not packed like Valentine’s Day
- not overly romantic
- still fun, private, and worth leaving the house for
Here are some of the best things to do in Atlanta for Side Piece Day.
1. Do a Private Escape Room at Mind Busting Escape Rooms (Best “No Crowds” Move)
If you want something that feels like an experience (not just sitting at a table), book an escape room. It’s interactive, it’s funny, and it gives you instant “we did that” energy.
Mind Busting Escape Rooms is perfect for February 15 because:
- every game is private (no strangers in your room)
- it’s a built-in icebreaker (no awkward small talk)
- it’s indoors and easy to plan last-minute
If you want the most intense option, try CIA Black Site—a high-tech mission where one person in your group starts restrained and the rest has to work together to escape.

2. Do Dinner… But Skip the Valentine’s Day “Fancy” Spots
February 15 is the best time to do dinner because:
- reservations are easier
- restaurants aren’t doing the fixed-price “love menu”
- the vibe is more relaxed
Go somewhere you actually like, not just somewhere that looks romantic on Instagram.
Pro tip: do an escape room first, then dinner after—you’ll have something to talk about the whole meal.
3. BeltLine Night Walk + Snacks
If you want something casual:
- walk a section of the BeltLine
- stop for a drink, dessert, or quick bite
- keep it moving
It’s low-pressure, and it feels like a real Atlanta night out without trying too hard.
4. “Anti-Valentine’s” Night: Comedy Show or Game Bar
Side Piece Day energy is basically: fun, funny, and not too serious.
A comedy show or game bar is perfect because:
- you’re not forced into deep romantic vibes
- you can laugh and keep it light
- it works for couples, friends, or situationships
5. Double Date (Or Group Link-Up) Instead of a “Date Date”
If you want to avoid pressure, make it a group thing:
- double date
- friends night out
- “we’re just outside” vibes
Escape rooms are especially good for this because everyone stays involved and it doesn’t get awkward.

6. Dessert-First Date (Simple, Cheap, Actually Fun)
Instead of dinner:
- pick a dessert spot
- grab coffee or hot chocolate
- sit and talk
- keep it short and sweet
It’s a great February 15 plan when you want something chill.
7. Make It a “Mini Date Day” Instead of a Night Out
February 15 is also perfect for daytime plans:
- brunch
- museum or aquarium
- a walk
- escape room in the afternoon
Then you can still be home early without feeling like you did nothing.
