Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Old Town Temecula

Temecula Stampede
28721 Front Street, Old Town Temecula

Have a few friends in your group that aren’t quite of drinking age? The West Coast’s largest country music dance club, Temecula Stampede, is an 18 and over venue, complete with one of the area’s best DJ’s spinning the latest country music hits. Doors open at 6:00 pm and your $20 cover includes a BBQ dinner (while supplies last), party favors and a champagne (or soda) toast at midnight. There’s even a special “balloon drop for cash,” and, although my contact didn’t elaborate on what exactly that means, it includes balloons and the potential for free money so what else do you really need to know?

There’s no specific dress code but, as I’ve mentioned in previous columns, you’ll be out of place without those shiny boots and one of those pink cowgirl stripper hats they have at the kiosk at the mall. No need to make a reservation for Stampede’s NYE hoedown; just show up and be ready for some country-style fun!

1909 Gastropub and Grill
28656 Old Town Front Street, Old Town Temecula

One of the newer Old Town hot spots will be welcoming classic rockers, Damn Dirty Apes, as entertainment for their NYE celebration. Attendees will enjoy 1909 staples like craft cocktails, local brews and even whiskey tasting flights. Your $30 cover charge includes awesome entertainment, hors d’oeuvres served throughout the evening and a champagne toast at midnight. Whether you are already a 1909 fan or have yet to try this new contemporary locale, it’s a perfect place to celebrate and its right in the heart of Old Town. Tickets are available in advance so contact 1909 or visit their Facebook page for more information.
