NYE in NYC - need party suggestions!

So it looks like I'll be spending NYE in NYC - and I need help from all you locals in finding a fun place to celebrate - the only requirements are a decent venue thats not crazily packed, great music and reasonably priced drinks/open bar. I'll be coming in with a group of friends - they don't appreciate techno or prog, so neither D36 nor Sullivan Room are options.

Any thoughts? One of my friends is inclined to go to one of those open-bar parties with TOP40s music - but I have no experience with those, nor do I know any of the venues, so I don't know what to expect.

Any ideas people?

PS: We're looking to spend under $100/person. Given our budget, Roseland seems like a terrible value... and IMO Steve Angello isn't worth shelling out the extra bucks.

It's NYE. In NYC no less. Get ready to get ass raped by $100 cover charges and $20 drinks with DJ no-name and DJ no-talent spinning your favorite radio hits until the ungodly hour of 4am.

These requirements do not typically exist on NYE. If you are willing to compromise on those requirements, we could probably help you further.


Even most "Regular" bars have ticketed events where you drop $100 for open bar, those are often the best deals

$100 will be manageable. But we're trying not to push it too much beyond that...we're all broke grad students

Almost ever bar in NYC will have some sort of NYE ticket or a open bar party special. You should except most of them be crowded with people and expect to spend at least $100 a person.

Roseland isn't a bad venue in terms of sound and space. My only complaint would be the overcrowded bathrooms and a line to go out if you're a smoker.

Stay away from Midtown to avoid crowds, and Meatpacking for insane prices.

We go to bars and lounges in Soho, Tribeca, or Upper West/East Sides. Those neighborhoods are the best bet.

Buy pre-tix for open bar and champagne, and call it a night. Those are the best times and the least aggressive when it comes to overcrowding

any recommendations yankeebaby? we're looking for a mid to late 20s crowd

We are playing at Cielo on New Year's Eve with Willie Graff and tickets are $50.

It's not going to be top 40 music but it'll be fun and the crowd at Cielo is pretty cool.

Let me know if you're interested in that.

theres a ton of places...you have to do some googling- youll find. I found a ton of places in Brooklyn that all covers are under 30 bucks and have specials all night. Most of the places are not based around the music though some have house music. (sadly no trance)


As I find links Ill post here. Ill be doing some searching in LES too so Ill share that as well

Here are some things I found: (please keep in mind again, this is not based on Music- more just something to do on NYE)

Tickets are decent for a 5 hour open bar. And if you want to go after midnight even less. IMO the place will be packed at thir price though


PS I also just read that bars are open extended hours on NYE- i never knew that!


Heres one that will get you wasted nice and cheap: http://newyearseve.com/events/new-y...open-bar-in-nyc

They should put those portable bathrooms outside Roseland because those bathrooms will be clogged/flooded by the time Angello party is over.

That party is going to be sick ^^





To the original poster: NYC is huge: what type of crowd are you looking for? Sports bar? Hispter? Lounge-y? Club? Gay? Irish/regular bar? Table service/models? Low-key versus massive celebrations?


This should narrow it down massively and we can answer your questions better.



Cielo IS a great small club for your age range request, typically plays house/techno and $50 is really decent for the meatpacking on NYE!! I <3 Cielo

God yes. I'd go just for Pan-Pot alone and let any of my friends with shitty taste of music figure NYE out for their own.

That being said, I'm staying far away of the bullshit that is NYE in NYC and going upstate for a house party with shitty music and lots of booze. But I'd definitely recommend Cielo as the best and probably only club I'd bring my non-EDM friends to. I've brought all types of my friends and family there and if they're not fun haters they always have a great time and $50 is a NYE steal. It costs more to go to my local dive bar on NYE.

I love Cielo, and that will be a really fun party, but he should know that beers are like $8 and something like a Maker's & Coke is $13. They'd better not be heavy drinkers if their budget is only $100.

Honestly, on NYE, I don't know how they're realistically going to keep to $100 a person, especially if they need cabs, etc.

Not on NYE but went to twice to see AnB. Unfortunately i didn't encounter anything like that except for massive flooding.

Either way, i'm doing my thing ..

It's fair to say that $100 is barely enough just for drinks not including cabs,food,etc. You're probably better off staying at your own home or a hotel room if you want to save money. NYE is not the night for that...You should definitely buy your open bar party ticket and decide now before the prices goes up any further.
