New Year’s Eve in Hoboken tends to come down to a few reliable choices, and The Shannon is one of them. For 2026, the bar is hosting a full New Year’s Eve party that’s simple, lively, and built around what most people actually want from the night.
The celebration starts at 9:00 PM on December 31 and runs until 2:00 AM. From 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM, guests will have access to a four-hour open bar. DJs from New York and New Jersey will be playing throughout the night, keeping the music going on the dance floor. As midnight approaches, the Times Square Ball Drop will be shown live on TV, followed by a complimentary champagne toast at midnight. Passed hors d’oeuvres will be served during the event.
The Shannon is located at 106 First Street in Hoboken, right in the center of town. It’s a well-known local bar with a relaxed but energetic crowd, making it an easy spot to come with friends or a date and stay for the entire night. People tend to dress up, the room fills quickly, and the atmosphere stays upbeat without feeling chaotic.
Early-bird general admission tickets are priced at $103.72 and include entry and the open bar. Guests must be 21 or older to attend and must present a valid state ID. Seating is assigned at entry, shots are not included in the open bar, masks are required, and all sales are final with no refunds. Ticket prices may change as availability decreases, and guests are asked to drink responsibly.
The event is in person and runs entirely at The Shannon from 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM. Tickets, group discounts, and additional details are available at NewYearsWow.com.
