Many people will be celebrating Valentine’s Day this month through a different perspective: Single’s Awareness Day, the alternative holiday that singles everywhere can celebrate to keep their minds off of the love and romance in the air. Here is a list of fun bars and restaurants you can go with some friends that will be more single friendly.

1. Blind Barber – $$$ – A great place to escape the love and stay below the radar this holiday is Blind Barber in Culver City. This bar, barbershop, grilled cheesery is certainly not your everyday watering hole. The bar takes the concept of a traditional barbershop, where everyone in the neighborhood comes for a haircut and social hour, and combines it with a bar. Enjoy a quick trim, a nice drink and a delicious bite from their seemingly infinite list of delicious grilled cheeses.

2. Library Bar – $$$ – If you are celebrating Singles Awareness Day rather than Valentine’s Day this year and you are looking for a place to go where you do not have to worry about dodging PDA fests and bouquets of flowers, Library Bar is the place for you. Although the bar is a great place to take a date, February 14 will be dedicated to a celebration of singles beginning at 8 p.m. This dimly lit gem in the heart of Downtown L.A. is the perfect place to meet your Valentine for 2017 or to just enjoy a drink and a book from their enormous library on one of their comfortable couches.

As long as you abide by the no “shiny shirts, shorts, sports gear, logos, flip flops, most hats and loud colors” dress code, you will have a great time this holiday with a performance by House Band Country Music Star Johnny Travis JR and all night drink specials from $5 16-ounce cans of Shiner Bock to $5 Old Forester Bourbon Shots.
