Bardog Tavern

Never a cover charge. Why should anyone have to pay a cover to celebrate NYE? Gather with your friends in the most streamer-filled room downtown to kiss the last 12 months goodbye and ring in the new year. The hosts are in tuxedos, but you can come as you are. Champagne specials, noise-makers, hats, and all the goodies you’ve come to expect are right here, each year. You might even find someone to make out with at midnight … just sayin’.
