New Year's Eve parties, events at local restaurants?

[Robin Garr]

If your restaurant is doing anything special on New Year's Eve, please post it here. If you're not a restaurateur but happen to know of any such events, please post it here, too!

We're trying to work up a pretty good list well enough in advance that people will have time to make plans ... and reservations.

Not a restaurant, but a place for dinner and dancing.... Sophisticated Swing of Louisville, the Executive Inn/Crowne Plaza. Link: http://smoothswing.net/

Hors D'oeuvres, plated dinner, desserts station, late night snacks, open bar

We have not done it since 2004 but 1999 to 2004 we averaged around 450 people. It's a great time!

Volare will be celebrating the New Year's Eve with entertainment by Bobby J & group from 9:00 pm - 1:00 am, complimentary midnight champagne toast and party favors. Special menu of All Time Favorites will be offered throughout the evening.

Any special events or menu, though, Krista? Just being open on New Year's Eve won't make this list. We're looking for places with special offers or events and need to know a little something about that.

If you click on the proof site it reads under upcoming events as follows:

December 31, 2008


Let's face it, 2008 was a bummer. Bail yourself out of that funk with your friends at Proof on Main and 21c Museum Hotel.

If you'll be watching the ball drop elsewhere, Proof invites you to dine from our signature Proof favorites. Our ala carte menu will be offered from 5:30pm to 7:00pm.

Beginning at 8pm, Chef Paley will offer diners a special pre-fixe tasting menu. Enjoy four courses and a sampling of Proof sweets before heading downstairs to a rocking party at 21c. Local favorite Hay DJ will be providing the tunes in the atrium-turned-dance-lounge. The co st is $121 per person and includes a four course tasting menu, party favors, and a champagne toast at midnight.

Stuck with prior dinner obligations? Join us in the 21c Lounge, created solely for New Year's Eve, complete with DJ, dancefloor, balloon drop, and space to kick back and sip bubbly. Eleven dollars and a new or gently used backpack will get into the party, with the goods going to support Blessings with a Backpack. (We'll let you in for $21 if you come empty-handed, but c'mon, pick up a backpack! There are kiddos out there that need your help.) A cash bar will be available and, of course, a champagne toast at midnight underneath the glow of disco balls.

Easy Cinderella. There's no reason to rush home when the clock strikes twelve. Your fairy godmother must have been looking out because 21c is offering the deal of the century. For just $365 per couple, enjoy the pre-fixe dinner at Proof, the party at 21c, and a luxurious room to call home for the night. Throw in late check out plus a little continental breakfast to soak up last night's fun, and 2009 is already looking up.
I think it will be very nice.

Any special events or menu, though, Krista?

Captain's Quarters is bringing in the New Year by land and water:
First we have a early dinner cruise that is from 6:00 to 9:00 with several nice entrees to choose from ( includes premium open bar ).
In the lodge we will have dinner specials and full menu with late night snacks with a real popular band out of Madison, IN called The Blues Devil's.
And of course champagne toast for all

We've got some fun plans for the Windsor in New Albany. In conjunction with the Grand Convention Center next door, we're offering three ways to enjoy New Year's Eve. The Wilson Brothers Band (house band for 107.7 SFR) will be performing at the Grand. The Windsor Bar and Lounge area (now open!) will the scene of a murder mystery dinner theatre event. (Hmm.... Could that be a case of too many adjectives? Oh, well.) Regular tickets include heavy apps, champagne toast, and the band; VIP tickets include candlelit dinner at the Windsor and the band afterwards. The tickets are already starting to move, so call ahead to reserve some. 812-944-0688
