Defocused Abstract Celebration With Champagne And Flutes
There's no better way to ring in the new year than surrounded by people you cherish. Here are some stellar spots where you start 2025 off right with your nearest and dearest.
Unleash your inner 007 — or, dare we suggest, Bond villain — at the Westin Southlake’s annual New Year’s Eve bash. This year’s theme is Casino Royale, and guests can expect a world of elegance and excitement as the space transforms into a playground of intrigue. Take your martini shaken, not stirred from the open bar while you vibe to captivating live music and casino games. Embrace the motto that Diamonds Are Forever as you dress to impress for an elegant evening of sophistication and cheer. Then, choose to Die Another Day as your toast to 2025.
There's no better spot than one named "A Top 10 Place to Drink Champagne in the US" to ring in the new year. Coupes will host a New Year’s Eve celebration beginning at 4 p.m. The champagne lounge will feature the regular menu enhanced by a selection of special dishes crafted for the evening, such as gougeres, endive with blue cheese whip, walnut, pear, champagne syrup, black-eyed pea soup, oysters normandie, black-eyed pea bruschetta and galette des rois. All we can say is... oh là là.
The Southlake fan-favorite featuring Vietnamese and Thai cuisine is offering unique, specialty dishes in addition to their regular menu on New Year’s Eve. Limited-time items are available, like crispy lamb “money bag” dumplings, chicken murtabak, golden lobster, Burmese beef short ribs and more. Special drinks for the occasion include a passion fruit fizz, an apricot old-fashioned and a New Year’s cheer.
