Thursday, Dec 31 Downtown Crawl Til the Ball Drops

About the party

Joonbug Presents a New Year's Eve bar crawl through Downtown Manhattan, from 9 PM on December 31 to 2 AM. Registration is at The Skinny Bar and Lounge on Orchard Street. Named stops so far are Bobby's Night Out on Loisaida Avenue and Coyote Ugly on East 14th Street, with more venues to be announced.

What to expect

A moving New Year's Eve: each bar has its own crowd and drink specials, and the organizer mentions live DJs along the way. VIP perks are offered. My take: a fit for a group that would rather wander the Lower East Side and East Village than settle into one venue for the countdown.

Music and lineup

The organizer mentions live DJ performances but does not say at which stops, who plays or what genres.

Before you go

Start at The Skinny Bar and Lounge, 174 Orchard Street, to register. Listed hours are 9 PM to 2 AM and the event is 21+, so bring ID. More venues are still to be announced. Where you will be at midnight, coat check and the full venue list are not confirmed.

Refunds (DICE)

DICE lists a 24-hour refund window after purchase. Check the terms shown on your ticket before buying.
