Six places to celebrate New Year's Eve your way

Everyone has their own dream NYE – some prefer a laidback dinner with family and friends, reminiscing over the year that was, while others like to go out with a bang, leaving the past 12 months (and their inhibitions) out on the dancefloor. 

Fortunately, there are a bevy of events around Sydney that cater to all styles of celebration, from rooftop ragers to classy cocktail parties and four-course feasts. Once you've found your perfect match, book in early so you don't get caught out on December 31 all dressed up with nowhere to go, or worse, winding up at a lacklustre house party hosted by a friend of a friend of a colleague.
