New Year’s Eve is hands down the most popular time for celebrating with great cocktails and champagne. So Nicky and I would be remiss if we did not mention a few of the celebrations and libation options around town for New Year’s Eve.
Prohibition
Accessed by secret code through a vintage phone booth, Prohibition is one of our favorite places for classic handcrafted cocktails. Complementary hors d’oeuvres will be served from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., and a champagne menu is being offered.

The Sound Table 
The big news here is that Benji B (Deviation/BBC1/London) will be making his Atlanta debut at The Sound Table. A unique and globally reknown DJ, Benji B seamlessly draws from several genres at once. He hosts his own show on BBC Radio 1 and runs Deviation, one of London’s most successful club nights each month. The fun starts at 10:00 p.m. with Benji B along side Karl Injex and Jeff Myers. Advanced tickets are available and holiday cocktails are on the menu.

Holeman and Finch Public House
Ever wanted to live like James Bond for a night? Restaurant Eugene and Holeman & Finch Public House are teaming up to present an unprecedented dining event. 007, based on Ian Fleming’s celebrated spy novels, will begin with a lively opening soiree at Holeman & Finch featuring Bond’s favorite cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and live casino games. From there, the festivities will shift to Restaurant Eugene, where Chef Linton Hopkins will be serving a thrilling four-course dinner based on cuisine Bond experienced throughout Fleming’s novels. So pull out your tux, shine your PPK, and mark your calendar! 007 is sure to be New Year’s Eve at its most shaken, stirred, and spectacular.
