Restaurants offering New Year’s Eve specials on LI

Still casting about for New Year’s Eve plans? These venues still had space at press time, but call first to make a reservation:

CHAMPAGNE BLOW-OUT

Madiran The Wine Bar is throwing a party from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. with live music, passed hors d’oeuvres and a full-sized bottle of Herbert Beaufort Grand Cru NV Brut Carte d’Or Champagne for every guest, $150. Or, pay $75 and buy your own drinks (or cadge them from someone who has bought a whole bottle of Champagne).

209 Rte. 25A, East Setauket, 631-675-2778, madiranthewinebar.com

BEER BLOW-OUT

Make your way through the unparalleled selection of brews at The Black Sheep Ale House. The theme of the night is “Beers through the years” featuring 25 taps, one cask ale, and 75 to 100 bottles and cans, plus craft cocktails. Pay for what you drink and there will also be free light fare (cheese, fruit, etc.), free jukebox play from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. and, at midnight, a free Champagne toast with hats and noisemakers. Beginning at 8 p.m., the first 25 guests will receive a free two-ounce pour of an extremely rare and limited 1995 Chimay Grande Réserve with the purchase of this year’s “vintage” on draft.
