Only Two Local Gin Mills Apply for All Night New Years Party

   Only two area gin mills plan all night parties on New Year's Eve, according to the NYS Liquor Authority website.
    Clueless on Arsenal Street in Watertown and Maxfields in Potsdam are the only two listed in this area.

 

 

      Current law extends to 3AM the closing time in Jefferson County for all establishments on New Year's but an additional permit is need for the extra five hours till the normal 8AM opening time.

       I did it last year and while things went fine, I have to attend the swearing in on New Year's Day and need to be alert to hear the speeches.

        Frankly, New Year's is not the big bar holiday the media portrays it. Most people either celebrate quietly, go to a house party or realize it's really just another Tuesday night.

         But I am sure the revelry will be in full swing at Clueless if you are up late.
