Austin is a pretty hip and happenin’ place, and, with so much going on in and around the city this New Year’s Eve, deciding how to ring in 2014 can almost seem a little overwhelming. Since nobody needs more stress this time of year, we’re here to make the decision easy for you. Here are three quick ideas that will have you bringing in the new year right!
1) New Year’s Revolution, Spider House Cafe & Ballroom
Want the quintessential “Austin” New Year’s Eve experience? Look no further than the New Year’s Revolution at Spider House Cafe & Ballroom. Boasting three stages and a lineup of six bands, three DJ’s, and several local food trucks, Austinites are guaranteed a rowdy (and delicious) time at the Spider House this year. Complete with art installations, a champagne toast, and a ball drop–and did we mention the food trucks?–tickets are a steal at $25.
2) Austin’s New Year, Auditorium Shores
If you’re looking for something that’s a little more kid-friendly, then Austin’s New Year at Auditorium Shores is the place for you. Offering a second-to-none lineup of art, films, and live music, this alcohol-free annual event is fun for the entire family. A wide variety of local food will be on hand for the event, as well, and with an amazing fireworks finale, 2013 is sure to go out with a bang at Austin’s New Year. Plus, it’s totally free to get in, which is always nice.
3) New Year’s Eve Dinner, Driskill Hotel
For those who are looking for something a little more upscale (and expensive), The Driskill Hotel is once again hosting it’s annual New Year’s Eve Dinner. Those who are willing to shell out the cash will be a treated to a gloriously over-the-top Five Course Prix Fixe menu, sparkling wine at midnight, and admission into The Driskill Bar. Prices range from $109-$129.
