Every year, in the space between Christmas lights coming down and the ball about to drop, a dimly lit bar appears. Its visitors never remember how they arrived, only the night that followed.

The bar shows up in that weird week where time has no rules, the holidays are over, and the new year hasn’t started behaving yet. It’s the kind of week where if we make it to midnight feels less like a promise and more like the energy in the room. It lives in the headspace this time of year creates, where your thoughts wander without going anywhere.

Your three hosts for the evening (Brie Brie, Noelle, and Avani) move through the bar with an ease that suggests they’ve been here before (spoiler: they have, many times). They guide the evening through live music, big moments, small confessions, and whatever else decides to happen on the day before the very last day of the year. It’s a vibe, an in-between, and a very good way to end a year you barely survived. You won’t know how you got here, but you’ll know why you came.

If you’re seeing this invite, you were meant to be here.
