Where is everyone drinking on New Year's Eve?

Ahhh! I always wait until the last minute to make NYE plans- where should I go?

    New Year's Eve is amateur night Part 1 (the others being St. Patrick's Day, 4th of July, Halloween, and to a somewhat lesser extent, Cinco de Mayo and the eves of both Thanksgiving and Christmas). On NYE, my goal is generally to isolate myself as much as possible from the worst drunks/drivers/drunk drivers/awful people.

    There's one great option for doing this that still allows you to venture out of the cocoon and that is a NYE party at The Penthouse thrown by Rob Roy and featuring Zane Harris and Anu Apte bartending and Tom Black cooking (Tom is the former Exec at Barking Frog, has cooked at James Beard house). The ticket price is a little steep at $150 (okay, a lot steep), but it includes cocktails and food and a midnight toast. It could be awesome. I can't afford it, but if you can and you like amazing food and cocktails and people who like amazing food and cocktails, that sounds like the place to be.

    Everywhere.

    Or, in the words of Yogi Berra, "It's too crowded--nobody goes there anymore."

    In other words, I usually don't make plans and then go wherever. Other than a friend's party or home, I think the best NYE bars are places without NYE events, places that most people looking for such events would never go.

    If you have some friends to hang out with, I'd suggest just going to your favorite pub, enjoy some happy hour snacks, and maybe watch the ball drop if they have a TV.

    It's the worst night of the year to be on the road, so we're looking to our neighborhood joints. In our case, that means Mission, The Cask or the Beveridge Place Pub.
    -
    For an early night out that gets you home before the drunk drivers hit the roads, there are two wine tastings we know of - at Vino Bello in Burien, and at Bin41 in West Seattle. Both run about 5 to 7 p.m.
