The Brewerie at Union Station is one of our favorite date night spots; they have great craft beer and food all in a historic Erie building.
Waterford Hotel

This is where we went on our first date; if you're looking for some terrific wings, this is the place to go!

Grab a coffee and browse used (and new) books or sit in the cafe and enjoy a locally made treat.
Presque Isle State Park
301 Peninsula Drive, Erie, PA 16505

Twisted Elk Brewery

Another one of our favorite local breweries, just a short drive outside of Erie. Try their Irish Red Ale, it's Maura's favorite!
