WINE & DINE
Wilde Roast Cafe Cheap Date Night

All-you-can-drink wine? Now that's a concept we can definitely get behind. Northeast Minneapolis' Wilde Roast Cafe has one of the best "cheap date" nights in town. For only $25 you get two glasses of "bottomless" red or white house wine, plus two entrees (choose any pizza or field green salad). Named after famed playwright Oscar Wilde, this cozy neighborhood cafe has a modern-Victorian feel, complete with candelabra, roaring fires, and brocade sofas. Local artists' work adorn the walls and the romantically lit ambiance is just the ticket if you're looking to impress that special someone. This deal runs Monday through Thursday every week!

Extra: We also love Wilde Roast for daytime wi-fi action and coffee convos!

5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Wilde Roast Cafe, 518 East Hennepin Avenue, Northeast Minneapolis, $25 per couple.
