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.
