About
Ann Arbor, MI
New Years Eve Pub Crawls
Ann Arbor rings in the New Year as one of the most intellectually vibrant and genuinely charming small cities in the Midwest. The South Main Street and State Street bar corridors offer a bar scene that combines the energy of a Big Ten college town with the sophisticated tastes of a highly educated permanent community that has built something genuinely excellent here.
Our Ann Arbor New Years Eve Pub Crawl moves through downtown and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that represent the full range of what this city offers. Ann Arbor bars are excellent, independently run, and shaped by the University of Michigan community while serving the broader city with a quality that goes well beyond what most similar-sized cities can deliver.
December in Ann Arbor is genuinely cold, typically ranging from 20 to 32 degrees at night with the possibility of snow. The walk between venues downtown is short and the bars on the route are warm and welcoming. The New Years Eve celebration here has a particular quality that comes from a community that values experience and quality in equal measure.
Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the midnight countdown happens with the intellectual warmth and Midwestern energy that makes Ann Arbor one of the most distinctive New Years Eve experiences in Michigan.
