Right. New Year's Eve. The night the entire world has to party. The one night any Montreal clubber or rock kid or ska snoot or lounge bore actually has more than one event to choose from. But will it be club, pub or party? Or rebelling by just "going to a restaurant with friends, because I hate New Year's"? We at the Mirror care about your debauchery, your organized confusion. Thus, we've sorted the stuff out for you. From big, walloping glam R&B nights to teeny whiskey pits giving out freebies here and there. So--barring loaded lovers kissing your best friends while you stand there helplessly looking on, or falling flat onto the sidewalk before the bell even tolls you really have no excuse not to have a great time. Or at least be in a cool enough place so that you can say you did, even if you can't remember a bloody bit of it. Cheers!
