Tuesday Night Just Became the Best Night of the Week
Date nights don't always have to wait for the weekend. In fact, Tuesday might be the smartest night to go out in downtown Fredericton, because that's when Pickle Jar and Southside Shake team up for a date night special that makes the whole evening easy. One price, one great meal, and a cocktail experience built around the idea of trying something new together.
What's Included
For $80, you and your person get a full evening of food and drinks designed to be shared. The menu includes a shared appetizer to start, two mains, a shared dessert to finish, and the Tiny Tinis Flight from Southside Shake. That's the whole night covered, without having to overthink it.
The food comes from Pickle Jar's kitchen, where everything is made from scratch. No shortcuts. Their approach is rooted in family recipes that the chef has refined over years, and it shows in the details. You can taste the difference between something that was made that day and something that wasn't, and at Pickle Jar, that comparison always works in their favour.
The Tiny Tinis Flight is Southside Shake's signature offering. It gives you a selection of mini martinis so you can taste a few different flavours instead of committing to one. For a date night, that's actually a perfect format. It opens up conversation, creates a moment, and pairs naturally with the progression of the meal.
Why Tuesday Works
Tuesday nights downtown Fredericton have a different energy than a Friday. It's quieter, the service is more attentive, and you can actually hear each other talk. If your weeks are full and finding time together feels harder than it should, this is a low-effort way to carve out a few intentional hours. You're not just grabbing dinner. You're sitting down, slowing down, and making a night of it.
Pickle Jar is located inside the Hilton Garden Inn Fredericton Downtown, so the space itself carries that mix of comfort and quality the restaurant is known for. It's the kind of place that feels relaxed without being casual about the food.
