Like it hot? 3 restaurants with fire places

Here’s an opportunity to warm up with cool cocktails.

The following three restaurants offer the perfect option for those who like it hot: fire pits and fireplaces. Kick back with a cocktail and enjoy a bonfire-esque evening with your besties and beaus over 21.

Einstein's: Head to the main dining room and languidly lounge by the indoor fire pit. Cocktails such as the peanut butter cup, a mix of Frangelico, butterscotch schnapps and Godiva chocolate liqueur or Einstein's coffee made with Godiva chocolate liqueur, Cointreau and whipped cream will surely keep you cozy.

The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee: Snack and snuggle up by the fire since this resort offers a daily "S'mores by the Lake" celebration daily from 8-10 p.m., inclusive of a build-your-own s'mores. Before settling in, grab a glass of your favorite drink or try the new vanilla poached pear shrub cocktail at Gaby's by the Lake , the resort's on-property restaurant located a short walk from the fire pit.

Marcel: Here's the deal: The patio is covered, but seating is typically unavailable during the chilly winter days. But, if you really want to sit outside and heat up your private party, ask a staff member to turn on the fire. One bit of advice: Make a reservation for the patio immediately, especially if you'll want a little more privacy on Valentine's Day. Read our review of Marcel here.
