Why Eleven Is Ocean Springs’ Go-To Spot for Date Night

Why Eleven Is Ocean Springs’ Go-To Spot for Date Night—Because Nothing Says “I’m Into You” Like a Fig Old Fashioned and Sultry Lighting

So, you’re planning date night. You could go with the usual—dinner somewhere with awkward lighting and a server who definitely judges your third glass of wine. Or… you could level up. Enter: Eleven Cocktail Lounge, Ocean Springs’ ultimate vibe for couples who want more than just “dinner and drinks.” This is drinks with drama, ambiance with attitude, and cocktails that do half the flirting for you.

💡 The Lighting Is Flattering, and So Are You

Let’s start with the obvious: Eleven is sexy. Dim lights, luxe textures, that faint hum of a playlist that makes you want to lean in a little closer—everything here says "date night energy." It’s the kind of place where time slows down, your drink gets a little stronger, and the person across from you suddenly looks even better than they did on Hinge.

🍸 Cocktails That Set the Mood

We’re not saying the cocktails are aphrodisiacs, but we’re also not not saying that. Whether you’re sipping something smooth like the Chocolate Orange Martini, getting playful with a Peach Thyme Smash, or going full seductive with the Fig Old Fashioned, every drink is designed to impress. And nothing sparks good conversation like, “Wait—what is in this?”

Feeling adventurous? Order something bold like the Island Empress or go sultry and classic with a Black Manhattan. Bonus points if you pretend you’re characters in a noir film. Eleven is that kind of place.

🛋️ No Awkward Dinner Table Vibes Here

There’s no pressure at Eleven—no appetizers to split weirdly or overcooked entrées to pretend you’re enjoying. Just plush seating, thoughtful cocktails, and enough ambiance to make your chemistry feel cinematic. Whether it’s a first date, a “we finally got a sitter” night, or a "we’re not labeling this" situationship—this lounge adapts.

📍 Downtown Magic, Baby

Located in the heart of downtown Ocean Springs, Eleven is the perfect launchpad or landing spot. Grab drinks here before heading to a gallery stroll, or make it the main event and linger over multiple rounds until you forget what time it is (and don’t even care).

🖤 So, Why Eleven?

Because it’s more than a cocktail bar. It’s the moment. It’s where Ocean Springs goes to flirt, connect, and share something smooth and a little intoxicating. It's the cozy corner booth. The clink of two coupe glasses. The way you’ll say, “We have to come back here,” after the first sip.

Eleven is your date night glow-up. Come get flirty.
