Laurel’s Best Nightlife Destinations
Spending the weekend in Laurel? Maybe you’ve got your day plans already mapped out, but here’s your nighttime itinerary.
Dinner & Dessert
Man oh man does Downtown Laurel have some great food! (And sweets.)
A lot of us know what eateries are open during the day, but what about on weekends? And for dinner?
The Loft on Central Ave. has a beautiful, string-lit patio and deck that’s perfect for intimate dinner dates. Or for a group! Lots of business people enjoy coming here for a drink after work.
Local Tip: Try the steak bites!
Mimmo’s Ristorante and Pizzeria is one of Downtown Laurel’s newest editions for dinner! Their ambience, food, and cannolis are to die for.
Local Tip: Mimmo’s food is authentic Italian! Mimmo makes his bread, pasta, and signature dressing from scratch daily.
Looking for some comfort food? The Pearl Diner is open on Saturdays for lunch, and Friday nights for dinner.
Local Tip: Miss Pearl’s Banana Pudding is the dessert you need. You’ll be talking about it for days to come. Trust us!
