I think we can all agree that 2016 has been a circus, so it only makes sense to whoop it up and shut ‘er down with a wide-eyed spectacle that will dazzle and delight.

Join us at The Drake on New Year’s Eve for the Under The Big Top bash with Hendrick’s Gin that will ring in 2017 with the biggest, boldest, and charmingly bizarre bravado it deserves.

No one does NYE better than The Drake, and the building-wide circus will be taking over all their properties: The Drake Hotel, Drake One Fifty, and Drake Devonshire. Which circus will you choose?

While a trip to Prince Edward County for a night under the stars sounds dreamy (maybe next year),  us downtown dwellers can choose between The Drake Hotel on West Queen West, or smooch our way into 2017 at Drake One Fifty. So whether you’re a cocktail Queen who likes to wander rooms, mixing and mingling with a flute of bubbly, or you’re looking for a seated full-course dinner, The Drake has a ticket for you.

STEP RIGHT UP AND GET YOUR TICKETS! Six ways to fête:

NYE at Drake One Fifty:

Start the night with an indulgent prix-fixe, then bring your inner ringmaster to life over delightfully curious Hendrick’s Gin cocktails, live music + DJs, bizarro personalities, and tarot readings to get your year in check. Pair the countdown with some bubbly + you’ll be saying “Sweet Dreams” to 2016.
