New Years Eve is kind of a big deal in Baltimore. Every year, Baltimore offers a fireworks show, a party all across the Inner Harbor, and loads of parties at venues all across the city. If you are looking for a good time and a place to throw back several adult drinks around midnight of December 31st, you could do worse than a bar in Charm City. Consider a few of these locations as party destinations as you say goodbye to 2016 and hello to a whole year of new possibilities.

Located inside the spectacular Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore, 14Forty is so named because it is open 1,440 minutes a day (a.k.a. 24 hours). This makes it the ideal bar in which to celebrate New Years for several reasons. Not only can you celebrate as long as you want, but it is located in the Mecca of entertainment with everything you can imagine wanting to do - such as gamble, eat, drink and enjoy live shows. However, one need not leave 14Forty to get all the entertainment they want. The bar itself is at the center of the casino, and features live entertainment on the stage in the literal center of the bar. With the stage right in the middle, with screens surrounding it, you are up for 360 degrees of entertainment in any one of the three levels of the bar.

The Owl Bar
1 E. Chase St.
Baltimore, MD 21202
(410) 347-0888
www.theowlbar.com

The Owl Bar is the basement speakeasy-style bar section of the fabled Belvedere Hotel in historic Mt. Vernon. The bar has its own entrance separate from the hotel. It also has a style which contrasts quite nicely from the classic opulence of the hotel. While the hotel is all marble, chrome and drapes, the bar is styled with bare-brick walls, stained-glass, finely lacquered wood and cozily dim lighting. Attached to a hotel which has been opened since 1903, The Owl Bar has seen a lot of history; and history is the theme of each New Years eve. Every year, The Owl throws a party which harkens back to one of the iconic decades of Baltimore's past. Walk into The Owl this December 31st, and you might find yourself in the '20's, the 50's, the 80's or some equally exciting time period. Every year is different. Contact The Owl for details on this year's theme.

Cat's Eye Pub

If you like to sample variety in your tap-beer, Cat's Eye Pub already has a point in its favor.
