Take in the truly astonishing views of The Bay, and enjoy a sweet vantage point for the yearly fireworks show.

We’re not done yet, there’s a whole lot more to this epic San Francisco New Year's Eve party than just sights. From the moment you step aboard, you’ll hear the sounds of our live DJ cutting it up with a mix of the latest and greatest hits, anthems, and bangers. Grab a tasty app from the tray-passed hors d’oeuvres, then become acquainted with the bartender as you take advantage of the 3-hour open bar.
