New Year’s Eve at Guilt & Company

Guilt & Company is a popular live music venue located in the basement at #1 Alexander Street in Gastown. On New Year’s Eve the venue offers food and live music with a great band.

Performing on December 31st in 2024 is Dawn Pemberton and NaRai Dawn. They play four different sets of music that cost $15 each per person. DJ Dule opens the show and plays music between the main four sets as well. The event runs from 8:00 pm until 1:00 am.

A few years ago on New Year’s Eve, we dropped by the venue shortly after 10:00 pm. There was a large lineup to get in and the place was packed inside. The band was fabulous, the place was full of good vibes and everyone appeared to be having a great time.

We recommend this place any time of the year. It’s definitely a “best place to be!” If you want to go on New Year’s Eve, however, if you can, be sure to arrive early to avoid the lineup and to find a seat. You’ll have a blast!

For more details about the venue see our article about Guilt & Company.
