Famously Hot New Year isn’t the only party in town. There’s something for everyone on New Year’s Eve in Columbia, no matter what type of night you’re looking for.

I want to party without spending too much money

I want to eat and drink some fancy stuff

The Oak Table is hosting an all-inclusive soiree with an open bar, specialty cocktails and hors d’oeuvres prepared by executive chef Todd Woods. You can catch all the action happening outside at Famously Hot New Year, including the fireworks, from inside. With a schmancy cocktail in your hand.

8 p.m.-1 a.m. at 1221 Main St. $150.

Bourbon is another option. You’ll be able to come and go as you please from FHNY while enjoying hors d’oeuvres from chef Frank Bradley, craft cocktails, beer, wine and a champagne toast at midnight.

8 p.m.-1 a.m. at 1214 Main St. $150.

I want to dance

I want to listen to live music without crazy crowds

Dear Blanca will take the stage playing R.E.M., Jenn Snyder & Ron Gandy will bust out Eminem and Dr. Dre, Ivadell will perform Weezer, Can’t Kids will go on as Presidents Of The United States Of America and The Deadbeat Club will play B-52’s.

I want to do something special but also be home early

116 Espresso and Wine Bar is preparing a five-course dinner with dishes like North African spiced lamb, squid ink risotto and chocolate and apricot bread pudding. The dinner begins at 7 p.m. and should be over by 10 p.m., leaving you plenty of time to get back to your couch before midnight.

116 State St., West Columbia. $100. Tickets must be purchased in advance.

I want to get drunk, spend all my money on shots and 2 a.m. Pita Pit, and not remember most of the night

Five Points. Always Five Points.
