Thursday, Dec 31 Blind Barber

About the party

Joonbug Presents New Year's Eve at Blind Barber, the East Village speakeasy at 339 East 10th Street, from 9 PM on December 31 to 2 AM on January 1. A five-hour premium open bar, a live DJ and an all-crowd countdown at midnight are the core of the night.

What to expect

By day the front is a working barbershop; at night the space becomes a bar with warm lighting, wood details and leather booths, and a back room where DJs regularly play. Complimentary lite fare is served early in the evening. My take: a bar-sized New Year's Eve option for people who want an open bar and a countdown without a large venue.

Music and lineup

A live DJ playing club, Top 40, hip hop and mashup tracks, per the listing. The DJ is not named.
