New Years Eve Zone 28 | Pittsburgh

Another year has come and gone, and that means it’s time for another New Year’s Eve celebration! It is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting nights of the year, and a great way to spend time with your friends. However, planning your perfect New Year’s Eve can feel like a challenging task. Luckily, we’ve got a few helpful tips to make sure you have the maximum amount of fun!

Know Who's Driving

Whether you plan on using a rideshare app, taxi service or designated driver, you should start making plans now. The last thing you want is to be stranded without a ride when you’re ready to go out. Furthermore, drinking and driving is never an option, and you should always have a plan.

If you plan to use Uber or Lyft, know that these apps charge a premium for most holidays. Make sure to take the higher prices into account when budgeting for your night out. You can also book a ride in advance to make sure you’re not waiting for an available ride all night and miss the ball drop!

Plan Your New Year's Eve in Advance

There’s nothing worse than not knowing what to do on New Year’s Eve. It’s always a good idea to plan your night in advance to some extent. You don’t need a full itinerary, but it’s never a bad idea to form a gameplan. Bars and clubs get extremely crowded and you’re going to drive yourself crazy if you bounce from bar to bar only to fight your way in to get a single drink.

Talk to your friends now and make sure everyone’s on the same page about what you all want to do. It might seem like a little bit of work, but you’ll be grateful on the night. Many venues take reservations for New Year’s Eve, even if they normally don’t at other times. So start making your plans to make sure you get in where you want. Don’t get left out in the cold!

Make Sure There's Something Fun for Everyone

It’s important that everyone in your group enjoys themselves. If you’re dealing with different tastes and interests, do your best to find a place that accommodates everyone. Zone 28 is a great place to spend New Year’s for just that reason! With the End Zone sports bar ready to serve up all the beer, cocktails and grub you’ll need, you can ring in the New Year in a real party atmosphere!

Between drinks, you can hit up the Game Zone arcade, hit the bowling lanes, or even get in a quick game of laser tag while you wait for 2019 to arrive. No matter what your friends’ interests are, there’s something for everyone.
