New Year’s Eve in Philadelphia isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that’s exactly what makes it great. Some people want bottle service and a packed dance floor. Others are hunting for a perfectly mixed cocktail and a DJ that knows what they’re doing. Philadelphia delivers on all of it, but you just need to know where to look.

Every year, I think about making New Years Eve plans, decide I’ll do it later, and then respond incredulously when every event, bar, and party is completely sold out.

Don’t be like me. Clock in at the lock in factory and figure out your NYE plans now –saving yourself the last-minute scramble is a beautiful thing… just trust me on this.
