You can swing into the New Year at McFadden's at Citizen Bank Ballpark.

That's because in addition to a five-hour premium bar option, there's also a cash bar option for those who want to pay as they go. There's a huge dance area as well as a live feed of the New York City ball drop. In addition, a McFaddens ticket stub gains guests free admission to a complimentary after-party at LIT, which kicks off at 2 a.m.
