| - I had an absolute blast here on NYE! I think the stars finally aligned for a fun New Years Eve. FINALLY! You know how it usually goes, let's over hype the holiday thinking this will be the best night EVER! Then some couple starts fighting, someone throws up, or it ends up being a total snoozefest.
Going here I had no expectations at all. It was $50 all you can drink, which to me, is a decent price for a NYE special. There was even a good spread of snacks. Although it makes me a little nervi eating off a tray of food halfway through the night with lots of drunk strangers, I was still impressed. You could also "help yourself" to your own drinks in one corner. It was more like a back room though. There was spiked lemonade and punch jars next to laundry detergent. Don't mix those two up!! This year, not like years in the past (or so I've been told), you could go behind the bar and make drinks too. But this year the owner and a couple bartenders were back there serving drinks. They also had random coolers of beer (Yuengling and Miller LIght) in every nook and cranny....so wherever you turned, you were stocked up!
They only sell 75 tickets. It doesn't seem like a lot, but this place isn't that big and it was the perfect amount. Normally if you're in a bar or club, you'd be packed in like a sardine, fighting to get a drink or accidentally bumping into a super sweaty dude. No thanks!
And the biggest factor for me that night (drum roll please)...the music! It was a great mix! Let's face it, on NYE (or any night out, really) I just want to DANCE! It was a mix of fun current pop songs and old skool hip hop (don't lie, you can ALWAYS get down to Big Poppa!). I was dancing the entire night long! Which definitely made my feet very unhappy later on (my fault, I needed to wear sparkly heels!).
At midnight, they passed out those popping firecrackers full of streamers you get on the 4th, which are SUPER fun but most likely a SUPER fire hazard. No fire though, just lots of popping! I kept collecting them and putting them down my shirt to stock pile for just the right time to pop another one! And no, I was not even drunk! They also handed out 40oz of Miller LIght to everyone and anyone. The great thing was, no one got out of hand. No fights. No one seemed like they had gone too far. It was just good old plain fun!
Only downfall: You can still smoke inside. Yuck!
Hot Tip: Get there on time for this event! Starts at 9pm ends at 2am. You paid $50 bucks, number one, get your money's worth. Number two, there's NO PARKING after about 10pm in the South Side on NYE.
A great way to ring in the New Year if you ask me! This may just start a new tradition for me!
