Thursday, Dec 31 White Horse

About the party

Joonbug Presents a New Year's Eve party at the White Horse Tavern on Hudson Street in the West Village. The tavern dates back to the 1800s and is known for its literary history, and on December 31 it hosts an open bar night with a DJ and a midnight countdown.

What to expect

A classic-bar New Year's Eve: original woodwork and tin ceilings, a DJ leading the countdown, and a champagne toast at midnight. VIP packages with reserved seating, private tables and bottle service are offered. No dress code is stated. My take: for people who want a historic-bar New Year's Eve with a dance-friendly playlist rather than a club.

Music and lineup

A live DJ playing Top 40, hip-hop and dance favorites, per the listing. The DJ is not named.
