Be Together With Loved Ones (Virtually)

Sadly, celebrating new year's with those we hold dear may not be possible this year for many of us. Even so, we must be grateful that, at the very least, technology has made it possible so that we're able to stay connected, even when apart.

This year, why don't you virtually dine with those loved ones you can't physically be with. Connect your computer to a large screen or even a tv, and have a zoom meeting. Spice things up by even virtually cooking together!

They'll be D.J.s all Night and live entertainment as well, so you can enjoy one last hurrah before the year ends. 

The original Johnny's was a late-night, good-time Carlton classic. Its glowing neon sign drew musicians, artists, gangsters, and students who mingled at all hours, playing pool and eating Coletta and lasagne in a place where the party never ended. It wasn't always savoury, but it was never dull. With our new rooftop incarnation of Johnny's, we've retained the sense of fun but swapped the notorious pool hall vibe and clouds of cigarette smoke for amazing 360-degree views over Carlton and the sophisticated ambience of a rooftop party in Rome. Johnny's serves classic and house cocktails, local and imported beer on tap, easy-drinking wines, and a casual list of bar food's greatest hits, from grilled meat and burgers to gelato and cheese. Add neon, terrazzo, and great tunes, and it's classic good times for right now. Bring your friends. The good-time essence of Johnny's lives on.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CELEBRATE NYE IN MELBOURNE

MELBOURNE IS THE MOST LIVEABLE CITY IN THE WORLD

Tick it off your bucket list - celebrating New Year's Eve in the most liveable city in the world. So book your bed and come see how Melbourne rings in the New Year. You'll have the most fantastic time.

I.T.'S CHEAPER AND NOT BOOKED OUT YET

Good luck trying to find a bed in Sydney on NYE... but mattresses at Melbourne Central YHA start at $55 with no minimum night stay, and beds at Melbourne Metro YHA start at $36 with no minimum night visit. We know where we'd rather be.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT ALL DAY TO SEE THE FIREWORKS

To get a good spot to see the Sydney fireworks, you have to get to your lookout point early. How early is early? It depends on the lookout point, but some open as early as 8 am and fill up quickly. There are no lines and no long waiting times in Melbourne. As long as you can see the Melbourne skyline, you'll be able to see the fireworks.

I.T.'S LESS CROWDED

Don't get us wrong, Melbourne will be busy on New Year's Eve. However, it'll be nowhere near as busy, crowded and full as Sydney - you'll be able to move, have some space to yourself and not be crushed by crowds of people.

GREAT PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Grab your Myki and hop on a tram, train or bus on New Year's to avoid surging Ubers and cranky taxis who'll be caught up in all the road closures. 

IT HAS PARTIES FOR ALL PRICE RANGES

Parties and New Year's Eve go hand in hand. Melbourne has parties for all budgets, and since you'll be saving a fortune on your accommodation by staying at YHA, you can splurge on that expensive New Year's party if you so choose. And for those who want to sleep cheap and party cheap, there are free parties - you just have got a look for them.
