[THIS POST IS ABOUT PARTIES LAST YEAR. FOR PARTIES FOR December 31, 2015, click here]

New Year’s Eve (is it 2014 or 2015-I never know) is just around the corner. To help you out, we’ve compiled a list (which will be updated daily until 12/31) of celebrations at DC bars on December 31, 2014 below (nearly all with a cover include a champagne toast, party favors, and a DJ), which I’ve split up by neighborhood and whether there is an open bar (at least 4 hours long), a cover charge (many of these include an open bar) and no cover bars (likely these won’t be announced until the week or so before the NYE). For those of you braving open bars, remember to tip well to start and for each drink. Barred in DC picks are highlighted below. If you know of a solid bar party, please let me know (barredindc@gmail.com).
