The weekend is shiny and new.
FOUR
Open Bar at the Well
If you don't already have plans tonight, you're intentionally avoiding the insanity—and Hollywood's
most reliable hole-in-the-wall understands. Come by at eight, drop $30 and drink all you want for three
hours. Sounds pretty sane to us.
- 411:
- Dec 31, 8-11pm, The Well, 6255 Sunset Blvd (entrance on Argyle), 323-467-9355
THREE
Open Bar at Wilshire
If you're thinking insanity-avoidance but more…west of the 405, drop into the bar at Wilshire for the
same idea. Fifty dollars and the open bar—including all specialties like the bourbon-and-honey
Hemingway—is yours from 10pm to 2am.
- 411:
- Dec 31, 10pm-2am, Wilshire, 2454 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, 310-586-1707
TWO
Open Bar at the Spanish Kitchen
Even-numbered years, though, sometimes must be ushered in with margaritas and only margaritas. Fifty-five
bucks at La Cienega's longstanding Mexican favorite will get you as many as you can drink from 8pm to 1am.
- 411:
- Dec 31, The Spanish Kitchen, 826 N. La Cienega Blvd, 310-659-4794
ONE
Open Bar (Sort of) at Pourtal
Closer to the shore, the tiny Enomatic wine bar of your
dreams is unloading unlimited bubbly from 9pm to 12am for a price you could probably guess. (If you're
not in the guessing mood, it's $20.10.)
- 411:
- Dec 31, Pourtal, 104 Santa Monica Blvd (E. of Ocean), Santa Monica, 310-393-7693
REPEAT
Open Bar at Crane's
The New Year's Day incarnation of the Do-Over summer blowouts, the New-Over keeps your open bar going the
day after. (And the year after.) Gratis screwdrivers and Bloody Marys will flow from 2 to 4pm. And your
resolutions begin Saturday.
- 411:
- Jan 1, 2-10pm, Crane's Hollywood Tavern, 1611 El Centro Ave, 323-467-6600
