The 9 hottest New Year's Eve parties in Brooklyn

"For those looking to enter 2026 covered in blood, beer, and shards of a fluorescent light fixture, wrestling producer New Fear City is hosting a New Year's Eve "Death Party" at Gowanus metal bar Lucky 13 Saloon. New Fear evens are "no ring," so expect ultra-violent performance art, scantily clad dancers, furniture being used as weapons and a constant proximity to not just the other side of the year but eternity. Doors are at 10:30 p.m. and tickets are $25."

"Not physically far from New Fear City's event but offering a decidedly distant vibe is Royal Palms' Shuffleboard Club and its "Flamingo Formal," with dancing and shuffleboard until 2 a.m. (for a truly chaotic but convenient New Year's Eve double-header, attend both back-to-back). Admission is free but doors close once the space hits capacity. Tickets ensure admission, cost $136.29 and include a wristband good for unlimited beer, wine, select signature cocktails and well liquor from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Walk-in court times and shots are available for separate purchase."

""Disco Simulator: Xanadu NYE 2025" Currently the only year-round indoor skate rink in New York City, Xanadu is a reliable home to late-night dancing - on feet and wheels - during every season. But the venue is pulling out the stops this New Year's Eve for its second-ever end-of-year bash. "Disco Simulator: Xanadu NYE 2025" will be a 12-hour long celebration, starting at 7"
