Don’t fret, we have you covered for a date night well spent with your Tupelo honey.

FIRST THINGS FIRST: COCKTAILS

Take a trip Downunder. Located in downtown Tupelo, Downunder is a bar and restaurant with top notch cocktails and Australian inspired food. A fan favorite of locals is any cocktail with “Flavor Blaster,” a bubble gun that infuses the food or drink of your choice with aromatic flavors.

You can taste a variety of flavors while enjoying an evening of romance with your honey. This is a one-of-a-kind experience in Tupelo and one you’ll want to experience with your significant other.
