Looking to do something different this New Year’s Eve? Wish a well-deserved good riddance to 2020 and welcome in 2021 (safely yet still in “style”)? Oh, yes, we’ve got you covered ...

We couldn’t be more excited to be hosting our first NYE event at Cartridge – and true to who we are, we wanted to do things a little bit different. Here’s what we’ve cooked up for you:

• Limited pre-sale, ticketed private event for just 100 guests (*groups up to no more than 6 to ensure we can maintain social-distanced seating*)

• Doors open at 6pm, dinner & drinks to follow; faux NYE ball-drop toast at 9:15pm (in a Cartridge stemless flute – yours to keep!); celebration wrapping up by 10pm so you can get home safely

• Dinner: five-course tasting (*MENU BELOW*) allowing our Executive Chef Jerry Johnson to flex his experience from working with Cincinnati’s best

• Drinks: each course will be expertly paired starting with a craft cocktail selection for course #1; your choice of in-house craft beers OR curated wines for courses #2-4; and a sparkling wine toast for all for course #5 – with a teetotaler/food-only option for your designated driver, too

• To add in some fun (and since NYE is on a Thursday), we’re leaning in and going with a 90s throwback theme – back to simpler times when a cassette tape jammed in your dash and Y2K were our biggest worries. We WILL be dressing up – join us in the fun by rocking your favorite 90s character or fashions (think “Clueless” plaid, grunge flannel, crop tops and Doc Martens)

• Adding to the amazing food, drinks, stylin’ 90s fashions – we’ll have Austin Ellis (from Team Adam on “The Voice”) rocking some acoustic throwback jams while you eat, drink and be merry

COST: $135/per person (includes gratuity) covers entry, stemless flute to take home, entertainment, and all 5 courses plus your choice of beer or wine pairings (**additional drinks may be purchased**)

DESIGNATED DRIVER OPTION: $75/per person (includes gratuity) covers entry, stemless flute to take home, entertainment, and all 5 courses plus unlimited non-alcoholic beverages
