Top answer

0 Spending an evening at leisure outside the home, for example at a restaurant, theatre, club etc. It suggests something more special than just popping down to the local restaurant that you've been to umpteen times before. You would 'dress up' and it could involve a group of people.

0 Sort of - you wouldn't usually mix 'day' and 'night' - I would tend to say "Is our night out 01i00tonight02i00 (or another night)?" or "Is tonight our night out?". 0-
