So tomorrow is the big day. You don’t think that $100 NYE party sounds worth it. Downtown scares you. Maybe you don’t even really care about a midnight makeout session and just want to party. Here are 3 parties that combine good music, cheap covers, and swanky locals. Have a happy new year and we’ll catch up with you on Friday with our free week guide.
Beauty Bar – Your favorite old hipster kid hangout features DJ Mel inside along with The Strange Boys, Dans La Lune, The Ugly Beats, The Boxing Lesson, and Petals outside. Not sure on a cover charge, but drink prices should be the same as always. Beauty Bar tends to get overly crowded on nights like these so don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Mohawk – The Transmission run venue features indie karaoke and DJ sets by Car Stereo(Wars) all night long. Cover is only $5 with drink specials and a midnight champagne toast.
Spider House – Not usually known as a live music venue, Spider House brings you music from The Strange Attractors, Wine & Revolution, and a few other local acts. Cover is only $10 with champagne all night for the same price.
These are only a few options and I’m sure you’ve got some crazy party going on and your mom’s house. Drop us a line if you’ve got a hot tip.
