NYE Celebration: Bar Crawl

2025. What a year, huh? Boy howdy. Wowzers! I tell you what. The good news is that it's almost over, meaning we'll soon be free to turn our collective gaze toward the brand new, uniquely awful Hell Circus that 2026 promises to be.

I invite you all to join me as I celebrate my fast-approaching liberation from sanity with the kind of debauchery that can only be justified on New Year's Eve. First things first, though: Check out this event and sign up for the pre-crawl NYE group dinner if you haven't already. If that event is full, don't sweat it. Even if you don't make it off the waitlist, you can still join us for the crawl.

We'll begin at Elbow Room, a cozy little dive bar in the back of Paul's Restaurant that's never as busy as it feels like it should be. After an hour or so, we'll take a short walk west to Shanahan's (209 W McLoughlin Blvd) to begin the countdown to midnight! After they kick us out, we'll finish the evening off at Tip Top Too (2100 Main St). Does anyone honestly want to go to that bar? No. Is anything else in uptown open until 2AM? Also no.

Here at Nightlife in the Couve, we know you have a choice in NYE events and we appreciate you not wanting to be bothered trying to get reliable transportation in and out of Portland. We look forward to helping facilitate your customary New Year's Day hangover. 🥂
