🎉 New Year’s Eve at St. James Gate in Belmont! 🎶💃🕺

🎉 Celebrate New Year’s Eve at St. James Gate with The Mirage Band!
Join friends old and new for a relaxed, feel-good night of live music, dancing, and easy conversation as we wrap up the holiday season and welcome the New Year together — pub-style, no fuss (dress up if you like!), just fun.

🎶 The Mirage Band brings decades of Bay Area live music experience and a crowd-pleasing mix of golden oldies, disco, R&B, pop, rock, and favorites from across the decades. Their sound is lively, familiar, and perfect for a night where you can dance, chat, laugh, and still catch up with the people around you — the kind of band that feels right at home in a neighborhood pub on New Year’s Eve.

🕺 Expect: 💃🏻
• A warm, social vibe where people mingle easily
• Music you recognize and can actually dance to
• A packed pub energy — more Cheers and Central Perk than nightclub

🍻 This is a no-host event — come knowing you’ll likely run into familiar faces and leave having made a few new friends. Grab a drink, find a spot, introduce yourself, and settle in for a night that feels comfortable, upbeat, and genuinely fun.
