And just like that, 2018 is almost over. New Year’s Eve is the biggest party night of the year. But why not skip the frenzy downtown, the struggle for a cab and the fight for a drink and stay local? Here are some of our favorite picks for a very Dorchester New Year’s Eve.
dbar
Make a reservation for a delicious meal at dbar – think steak and cocktails – then plan on sticking around for their Gold Party beginning at 10pm. Plan on dancing the night away with VJ Ryan Grow! Dinner reservations are strongly recommended. You can make them here!
Lower Mills Tavern
How about a casual and cozy New Year’s Eve! Enjoy a meal at Lower Mills Tavern featuring a menu with farm-to-table, seasonal, comfort-food-with-a-twist and crafted cocktails in a warm and friendly environment!
