After that it’s dancing and celebrating till closing time. LiCK goes on at 9 p.m., right up until midnight. Once again, Liberty City Kings Drag and Burlesque (LiCK) are taking over Tabu on New Year’s Eve for their Glitter Gayla. The evening starts with dinner at 7 p.m., a four course menu with entree options that include mushroom ravioli, hanger steak and chicken parmigiana. Nothing special going on here, said the man on the phone when I called, “Just free champagne, hats and noise makers, stuff like that.” No cover. I put a call in to the bar and was told they are sold out! Stir Lounge Unless you already have a ticket, don’t worry about what’s happening at Knock on New Year’s Eve. (Hint: You can get in for a discounted price if you’re wearing a mask.) Call for price.
Icandy is throwing its third annual New Year’s Eve Masquerade Ball, with a champagne toast at midnight, buffet, and one of the sweatiest, best dance spots in the Gayborhood. DJ Kevin Kong will be spinning tunes to take you into 2015. The Boxers PHL bartenders are trading in their red mesh shorts for black boxer briefs and a bow tie (think: Chippendales), for our newest gay bar’s very first NYE celebration in Philadelphia.
