Break out those studded collars and express yourself for a night of relief and revelry.
Collars & Cocktails is a celebration of confidence, connection, and self-expression. Sip decadent cocktails, dress to thrill, and enjoy an atmosphere where style, attitude, and a little mischief are always encouraged. Come as you are, or come as who you want to be tonight.
STEP INTO THE UPSIDE DOWN this New Year’s Eve at Edge of the Universe with a night inspired by Stranger Things and the strange in-between. From 5:00 to 7:30 PM we begin with a communal watch party as the lights go low, the drinks start flowing, and the line between worlds begins to blur. After the watch party, the night shifts fully into an 80s-themed celebration with red lights, fog, nostalgia, and a dance floor that feels like it slipped sideways in time. As midnight approaches, we gather to close the portal on 2025 in a symbolic reset toward a better timeline. When the clock strikes twelve, the portal closes and we step forward by stepping back.
Dress up is strongly encouraged, though never required. Come as Eleven, Vecna, Hawkins High kids, Upside Down creatures, mall rats, metalheads, lab escapees, or anything neon, denim, eerie, weird, or wonderfully out of place. Drinks get stranger as the night goes on, the music leans into the decade, and the atmosphere deepens. Close the portal. Enter the Upside Down. New Year’s Eve at Edge of the Universe. No tickets necessary.
