Far from fancy rooftop parties and holiday galas, a Seminole Heights watering hole hosts its annual, free-to-attend New Year’s Eve celebration on Saturday, Dec. 31.

Drinks will flow and music will pump at this free party, which also features a complimentary champagne toast and a hot dog bar (with vegan options available as well.) Nothing like a couple of free glizzies to get your year started off right.

The celebration kicks off at 7 p.m. at 5016 N Florida Ave. with tarot card readings, but the multi-genre DJ Cub won’t start spinning holiday tunes until about 9 p.m.
In addition to its complementary midnight toast and hot dog bar, this Seminole Heights watering hole will offer special deals on champagne bottles and holiday ales—plus party favors.
