ODEON cinemas in Coolock, Limerick, Newbridge, Point Village, Stillorgan and Waterford are showing the classic on Valentine’s day at 8.15pm for just a fiver. Bargain.

MVP is transforming itself into Casablanca’s Rick’s Cafe on Valentines. They’ll show the movie silently in the background while you indulge in some cava, burbon, bubbles, nibbles and relaxed vibes.

4. Spend the evening with Ryan and Wine

The Lighthouse cinema pulls out the stops every Valentine’s day. This year, you can sit back and enjoy a whole day of Ryan Gosling movies with all the wine and red velvet cupcakes you can knock back. Sounds ideal.

The schedule is:

5. Shred Your Ex in the Liquor Rooms

The Liquor Rooms do a savage cocktail, and they also are absolutely savage themselves. Their Shred Your Ex event is being held on Saturday and basically all you have to do is bring a photo of your ex to get free admission.

They’ll also have a dumpster swap shop to exchange old crap gifts from your idiot ex, and the playlist promises to be cathartic as hell.

Bitter, you?

6. Climb Croke Park

Fancy seeing Valentine’s day at dusk? Croke Park can offer you a special version of its Etihad Skyline at Dusk tour from Sunday to Valentine’s Day.

You get a great view of the capital’s sky line as it turns from dusk to dark, and we can already smell the various proposals that will be happening here.

7. Drown in bottomless prosecco

Gather up the gals and get down to Beeftro in Dublin for their bottomless prosecco from €15 per person. You might even get some food, too.

8. Go dog speed dating
