It’s Valentine’s Day on Saturday, so love is in the air and all that other mushy stuff, but this isn’t a list of the perfect places to woo someone. These are Austin’s least romantic bars and restaurants, updated. You won't find anyone at these places having a Valentine's date this weekend at all. This is a guide for everyone seeking refuge away from candlelight dinners and sweeping violins. The places on the list aren’t (necessarily) bad, but they're not the right fit for grand love gestures. The rules: no fast food or national chains. You're encouraged to add your suggestions in the comments or on the tipline.
