Need a date night? Don’t stress about planning — we’ve done the research for you. Here’s a roundup of date ideas in Chattanooga.
🥂 Night on the town
Adventure to a speakeasy-style bar like Unknown Caller or Company inside the Kinley hotel.
Head to Memorial Auditorium during the Tivoli Theatre Foundation’s Broadway season to see a high-end production like “The Wiz.”
🍝 Food is love
Take a cooking class offered by the Sweet & Savory Classroom, where you can learn the craft of making anything from bread to Italian delicacies.
Head to Queen’s Kitchen and Market to shop artisanal pastas, sauces, and other fresh ingredients to cook a candlelit dinner at home.
🧺 Head outside
Grab a cheese spread from Bleu Fox Cheese Shop and head to Coolidge Park for an easy-going picnic by the water.
The Salvation Army of Chattanooga says its food pantry shelves are empty and it’s in urgent need of shelf-stable donations like canned goods, peanut butter, and granola bars. If you can help, drop off items at 800 McCallie Ave. or make a monetary donation online. (The Pulse)
Biz
Less than two weeks after opening, popular French bakery Oui Oui Boulangerie has temporarily closed due to a fire. Owners say no one was hurt and damage appears minimal, but repairs are needed and the shop must pass a health inspection before reopening.
Eat
Five Wits Brewing Company, meet Five Wits Pizza Joint. That’s right, the Southside brewery is bringing pizza back this spring. An official opening date hasn’t been announced, but they’re aiming for early April. While we wait, here’s a preview of how they make the thin, crispy pies. (Chattanoogan)
Mansion Monday
Looking for space to spread out? This 6,118-sqft home off Hixson Pike delivers. With two kitchens, two living rooms, a movie theater, and a golf simulator, there’s plenty of room to entertain or unwind. Bonus: it’s on a quiet cul-de-sac but still less than 10 minutes from downtown.
After losing an hour of sleep this past weekend, it’s time to make it worth it. Now the sun is setting after 7 p.m. again, we can spend more time exploring Chattanooga’s parks. If you need some inspo, our events calendar will be full of outdoor fun for the foreseeable future.
Take your next outing vertical. High Point Climbing is leveling up your social schedule with discounted Community Days + Nights designed to make climbing more accessible — and way more fun. Grab your crew, try something new, and save while you’re at it. Explore the events calendar + plan your visit.*
Number
$0. That’s how much 94% of Nourish patients pay out of pocket to talk to a dietitian covered by their insurance. You could be covered, too — check your coverage + get matched with a dietitian who can cut through the food noise and build you a plan to thrive.*

The Chattanooga Market dropped its 2026 schedule, and it doesn’t disappoint. The lineup includes 30+ weekends of fun at the First Horizon Pavilion, and each market has its own theme. Here are the three I’m most excited about:
The Chattanooga Market is usually a Sunday thing, but Opening Weekend will be both Saturday and Sunday, April 25 and 26.
The Buy
Travel-size mouthwash you can take anywhere. Perfect for vacations, tossing in your purse, or keeping in the glovebox, this TSA-approved, top-rated mouthwash comes in portable pouches so you can freshen up anytime, anywhere. Bonus: It’s alcohol-free and safe for sensitive teeth.
Why did the chicken cross the road? To become friends with a pack of dogs, apparently. We can’t guarantee your pup will make friends of the poultry variety, but they’ll still have a good time at Chattanooga’s dog-friendly businesses.
