Proper 21

If you’re looking for a proper fête this New Year’s, the party at Washington DC’s Proper 21 is the blowout celebration the capital craves. Located in downtown DC, the Manhattan offshoot of Proper West and Manhattan Proper fame is a central nightlife destination for DC’s stylish set.

Revel in Proper 21’s sophisticated DC style this New Year’s Eve with a party that’s packed with luxe amenities and chic vibes. Start the evening with a craft beverage from the 5-hour open bar while noshing on early evening lite fair. A live DJ will bring the beats with an open format selection of Top 40, Hip-Hop, House, and mash-ups before leading guests in a live countdown to midnight. Toast with a glass of complimentary champagne as you ring in the New Year with gusto. For the presidential experience, opt for VIP packages featuring reserved seating and bottle service.

Brought to DC by New York nightlife connoisseurs Rob Zahn and Will Strozier, Proper 21 is a posh concept fusing traditional sports bar and upscale eatery, or as the venue proclaims itself: “Tom Ford meets Thomas Edison.” Aubergine damask wallpaper frames a sleek and modern space with slate tufted banquette seating, lacquered tables, globe light fixtures, as well as evergreens and wisterias for a classic touch. Flat screens line the walls, making it the perfect place to stream live views of the ball drop.
