One of Tokyo's hottest bars is pulling out all the stops by throwing a massive countdown celebration to ring in 2025. No advance bookings or reservations are needed, and all you need to do is show up at the door on New Year's Eve.

Instead of the usual menu, TC will be handing out wristbands for ¥12,000 which will get you free-flow champagne, house spirits and mixers, beer, wine and a selection of cocktails (8pm to 1am, last orders 12.30am). If that wasn't enticing enough, there will also be plently of disco, pizza and other fun surprises in store.
