Thursday – December 31, 2009 – New Year’s Eve 2009
It wouldn’t be a holiday in the Valley if our locals bars and clubs weren’t trying to cash in on it by throwing a huge themed party. The next holiday to get this treatment is New Year’s Eve. It helps that New Year’s Eve isn’t really that much of a holiday to begin with…More of a lazy excuse to get drunk, kiss random people at midnight, and start the new year off with a hangover.
According to the Facebook event invitations I’ve received already, there are three big parties being thrown this NYE…Starter’s Riverport, Roosevelt’s 21st, and Drinky’s. Clicking on each of the links will take you to the Facebook event page for each event. I’m sure there are going to be more parties announced in the coming weeks, so consider this page a work in progress. Check back as we get closer to NYE for the latest information.
UPDATE 1: Both the Allentown and Bethlehem BrewWorks are throwing parties to ring in the new year. Check out the details at the Bethlehem BrewWorks HERE and the Allentown BrewWorks HERE.
UPDATE 2: Commenter Jenny tipped me off to a couple of cool events. Over at the Sands in Bethlehem, Emeril’s Chophouse is throwing an all inclusive party for $125 per person. And several local hotels are also throwing New Year’s Eve gatherings…the best part about that is there’s no need to drive at the end of the night! Thanks, Jenny!
UPDATE 3: PigPen Sports bar has finally announced the details of their NYE party. Take a look at them here.
UPDATE 4: Details about The Firehouse’s New Year’s Eve party have been announced on Facebook. $30 cover, 9-11PM open bar, free food, champagne toast at midnight, and a “cash drop”.
UPDATE 5: Ok, scratch that last update. According to a new post from The Firehouse on Facebook, their NYE party no longer has a cover charge. There’s still going to be a free champagne toast at midnight but you can forget about the open bar. $2 well drinks, $5 Vegas bombs from 9-10 and DJ $weetlife from9-2.
I was at the Sands yesterday and saw that Emeril’s Chop House is doing something (http://tinyurl.com/emeril-NYE). A lot of the hotels are doing stuff too, like the Holiday Inn in downtown Allentown next to my work is having a NYE Gala with food from their new Brazilian steakhouse and a DJ (http://tinyurl.com/NYEparties). There’s also things going on at both Brew Works locations too (http://tinyurl.com/NYEparties2). I’m actually going to a pool tournament/party – how’s that for something different?!
Thanks for the awesome tip, Jenny! I’m going to add it to the post!
You’re right, that does sound different! Where is that happening? Private party?
Yea, it’s a private party otherwise I’d totally broadcast it to the world
I did hear on the radio this morning on my way to work that PigPen Sports Bar is also having a NYE party.
Yeah, I saw that PigPen had an event page created on Facebook but there was no information on it…which kinda defeats the purpose. If they get some information up online I’ll add it but until then they are on their own.
