What's the worst part of New Year's Eve? Logistics. Where to go, what to expect and how to get there can be daunting little details. To make it easier on you, we've compiled the ultimate list of New Year's activities in San Angelo, and have even thought about the transportation. Say goodbye to that DWI and arrive alive in style.
This year, Pinkies, LIVE! and San Angelo Limosine present Arrive Alive and in Style, an all-night limo bus shuttle service servicing several local party venues on New Year's Eve.
It allows you to have fun without the worry of the Tom Green County Jail, and it will help boost the local economy. It also provides you the ability to safely transport between venues for a variety of experiences.
New Year's Eve revelers will be able to catch a limo bus from central pickup points at the Mejor Que Nada, 1911 S. Bryant, Goodfellow AFB, or at a location near the ASU campus.
From there, revelers can ride a limo to locations of choice, and ride from one venue to another. The cost of each limo ride is $10 each way or $7 each way if five tickets are purchased in advance. Tickets can be purchased at Mejor Que Nada or from the limo driver at pickup. The service will run from 7 p.m. until 3 a.m. Dec. 31, 2013. Participating venues are:
- Blaine's Pub, 10 W. Harris St.
- The Penny Pub and Grill, 2400 College Hills Blvd.
- Shenanigan's, 3250 Sherwood Way
- Grinner's Daiquiri Bar, 217 S Chadbourne St.
- Mejor Que Nada (will be open NYE), 1911 S. Bryant Blvd.
- The Black Swan, 118. S Chadbourne St.
- Fuentes Cafe Downtown, 101 S. Chadbourne St.
- Stagecoach Saloon, 4205 S. Bryant Blvd.
The limo bus rides are underwritten by Pinkie's Inc. to foster a safer NYE experience. Get updates of limo locations on San Angelo LIVE!'s Twitter page.
