Lake Oswego Close to the Big Champagne Ball

Places to be on New Year's Eve in Lake Oswego

Every year the party gets bigger at Portland Hilton’s Champagne Ball on New Year’s Eve. Just a short commute so to speak from Lake Oswego to Portland will land you at the best party of the year which will unfortunately take place on the year’s first day. But it is well worth the effort and then trying to top the fun you’ll have the rest of the year.

There will be 18 bars, 3 dance rooms, and a chill lounge to catch your breath. The highlight is the huge Champagne Ball countdown followed by the traditional Champagne Toast. If however you want to stay local our Lake Oswego eateries will not disappoint. Try the Stickman’s Brewery which in years past has had a heated tent and individual wireless headphones offering two types of dance music.

Also in the New Year’s spirit will be the Maher’s Irish Pub. Be careful though they may start early to match the Eastern New Year’s ball drop.

Then return to your comfortable, less hectic Apartment at Westlake Meadows where you’re always near the action, but just far enough away to get some relaxation.
