Sure, New York City throws the most notorious New Years party at Times Square, but as for the west coast, the Emerald City shines bright with its own festive atmosphere. In this hip Pacific Northwest city, there are plenty of New Years events that you can choose to enjoy, and a slew of bars, clubs and restaurants offer up their own affairs that are sure to be provide some good times. The Seattle Space Needles New Years event is probably the most publicized New Years Eve Seattle party, but by no means does it figure as the one and only exclusive spot for New Years fun. With a number of options for a New Years party Seattle night out, you can be sure to find the right spot to usher in the New Year in appropriate style.
The Seattle
Space Needle is an architectural icon that rises high
above the city skyline. The SkyCity revolving restaurant
throws an annual Space Needles New Years party that is
sure to be one that you’ll forever remember.
As Mt. Rainier fades into the night, you can enjoy scintillating
360-degree views of the Seattle nighttime skyline while
you party some 600 feet in the sky. You’ll
likely want to get your reservations in as soon as possible
for the Space Needles New Years event, as it is undoubtedly
the center of the city’s New Years celebrations.
You can contact a SkyCity representative for in-depth
information and reservations for its fun-filled celebration,
which includes a three-course meal, party favors, champagne
and plenty of dancing. When the clock strikes midnight,
the fireworks that are shot over the landmark tower will
accentuate the magic of the moment.
If you can’t get your reservations in order for
the Space Needles New Years party, or are looking for
an alternative Seattle New Years event, you could consider
the Indulgence New Year’s Eve Party at the Seattle
Center, or opt for the romantic annual gala at the Century
Ballroom & Café. The former is held specifically
at the Experience
Music Project (EMP) and the party features live music,
plenty of dancing and even some comedic relief.
If you want to live large, you can spend extra to get
into the EMP VIP room, which overlooks the main stage.
The party at EMP starts at 8 p.m. and goes on until 2
a.m., which gives you plenty of time to throw some bills
at the several cash-only bars. The latter party
at the Century Ballroom is a more romantic affair, where
an elegant 4-course dinner precludes dancing on one of
the largest dance floors in the city. The formal
seated dinner starts at 7 p.m., but you can opt to show
up afterwards for the main party, which commences at 9:30.
If you like to salsa dance, this could be the party for
you. It’s a bit more formal than some of the
other New Years party Seattle options and is ideal for
couples.
For more Seattle New Years dinners downtown, there are a few restaurants that offer some welcome affairs. The Palace Kitchen will feature live music performed by the Portage Bay Big Band, and live jazz sets the mood at the hotel restaurant at The Hunt Club at the Sorrento, where you can enjoy a five-course meal. On the waterfront, Six Seven is offering a four-course dinner and a champagne toast. The trendy BOKA Kitchen and Bar has two menus for its Seattle New Years party, one of which is exclusive for vegetarians. Rovers, which is a Madison Park institution, offers the kind of quality dining experience that could make your New Years Eve Seattle experience a truly memorable one as far as your tastebuds go.
If you are more in the mood to unleash a bit of your wild side during your New Years Eve Seattle night out, the numerous bars and clubs that are throwing their own electric parties might provide your best options. You can get the party started early at Spitfire, a downtown hipster bar that begins serving its New Years drink specials at 3 p.m. At Tini Bigs Lounge, your New Years cover fee allows you to enjoy both the Tini ‘50's cocktail bar, as well as the adjoining Tiki lounge. They supply the party favors and a champagne toast, and you get some prime views of the fireworks over the Space Needle. At the Havana, which dubs itself as “A palace for drinking”, three different DJ’s will be spinning the tunes, and the atmosphere is sure to be alive. Some of the downtown Seattle bars and clubs will feature live music by local groups. At the Sunset Tavern, the punk sounds of Llama and Sgt. Major are on the agenda, and The Triple Door will feature a rockin’ lineup, with such bands as Harvey Danger and Awesome!. Simply put, there are a healthy gob of places throwing New Years Eve Seattle parties, and you are sure to find the right place for your idea of a good time.
