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.

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.

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.
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.)

Santa Monica, 310-393-7693
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.
