In Northern Liberties' hippest neighborhood, a hidden gem is waiting to be discovered. Tucked away behind an old 7-Up machine, Newsroom Philly has transformed into Cupid's Nest - a sultry speakeasy catering to Valentine's enthusiasts and Galentines alike.
To gain entry, guests must first find the unassuming soda machine entrance disguised as a Diet 7-Up dispenser. Once inside, they'll pass beneath a crimson curtain and enter a dimly lit world of romance, where red velvet drapes, twinkling lights, and an array of heart installations await. Hanging roses, heart-shaped balloons, and photo stations invite guests to capture memories with loved ones.
The space is a veritable love letter to Valentine's Day, complete with a show-stopping rose-covered arch, a towering 6-foot teddy bear, and a glowing heart aerial hoop that hosts live aerialist performances on select nights. As patrons take their seats at tables dressed in red linens, they're surrounded by an atmosphere of warmth and romance.
Cupid's Nest boasts an inventive cocktail menu featuring drinks like "Dark Desire," "Love Note," and "Poisoned Kiss." A late-night happy hour, set to begin at 10:30 p.m., offers select $8 cocktails for the duration of the pop-up. To further indulge, a shareable kitchen menu is available throughout the event.
On Valentine's Day itself, Cupid's Nest will offer an exclusive prix fixe menu priced at $69 per person - complete with champagne, take-home wine bottles, and a three-course meal to savor. Weeklong programming includes DJ parties, karaoke nights, themed happy hours, and brunch events that rotate throughout the pop-up's limited run.
For now, Cupid's Nest is open for business at Newsroom Philly (1102 Germantown Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19123). Don't miss this rare chance to experience the ultimate Valentine's Day getaway in the heart of Northern Liberties.

. The way it's hidden away with just an old soda machine dispenser sounds super cool, like something out of a movie 
. And can we talk about the decorations? Red velvet drapes, twinkling lights, and heart installations? It's all so Instagrammable! 
But what I love most is that they're doing it for Valentine's Day and Galentine's, not just targeting couples. There are so many ways to celebrate love and friendship with friends 
. The cocktail menu sounds amazing too - "Dark Desire" and "Poisoned Kiss"? 
gotta try them!
. I mean who wouldn't wanna sneak into some kinda romantic haven behind an old 7-Up machine? The idea of having a dimly lit world of romance and heart installations is literally giving me all the feels 
. And can we talk about that rose-covered arch tho?! 
It's like they're saying "we've got love covered" 
. I'm also low-key obsessed with the $8 cocktails during happy hour - who needs a fancy date night when you can have a chill night out with friends instead? 
. Who thought it was a good idea to charge $69 for a prix fixe menu on Valentine's Day? Rich people just gonna go ahead and splurge like that 
. And don't even get me started on the gimmicks – a 6-foot teddy bear? Give me a break 
. It's just another example of how over-the-top the wedding/Valentine's scene has become in this city. Can't we just have a low-key dinner with our significant others without all the frills and fancy nonsense? 
. The $69 prix fixe menu on Valentine's Day sounds like the ultimate indulgence... I need to get myself there ASAP 
anyway, if u can get in w/ the password ( apparently its hidden on social media?) then i say go for it! 
i swear they're to die for and i just got the most amazing idea for a foodie road trip 
we should totally plan one and document it all on our socials 
. but what really gets me is the price - $69 for valentines day? that's kinda steep for a dinner date 
They really pulled out all the stops for this Valentine's pop-up - I'm low-key jelly 
And don't even get me started on the food - $69 for a prix fixe menu with champagne & take-home wine bottles? 
I need to go ASAP and try out their "Dark Desire" cocktail 
. It just feels like another excuse for people to spend way too much money on overpriced drinks and mediocre food. And don't even get me started on the whole "exclusive" pricing – $69 per person? Give me a break! 
If you can't afford that, then maybe this isn't the spot for you... or you're just not that into romance 
. I'd rather stay home with my cat and watch Netflix than shell out that kind of cash on a night out 
.
I'm literally drooling over here thinking about sipping on a "Dark Desire" cocktail surrounded by all that romance 
, and that rose-covered arch tho...
