It's time to bid farewell to 2024, and if you're seeking a celebratory rendezvous in Melbourne's southside, you've come to the right place. Some of the area's top venues will be hosting New Year's parties, from live DJs at The Espy to uninterrupted views of the midnight Fireworks from Public House Rooftop. Deciding what to do on New Year's can often feel like one of the hardest decisions of the year, so with some help from The Pass, we've rounded up some of the best New Year's Eve events south of the CBD.
The Prince

Arrive in the afternoon and kick back with delicious food and plenty of drinks before the DJ sets to start up at 7pm and into the evening. To book your spot to enjoy New Year's at one of St Kilda's coolest pubs, make sure to grab tickets. Plus, keep an eye on socials for the announcement of the rooftop deck party.
The Espy
Head down to The Espy in St Kilda for the full New Year's Eve experience. The lively pub will be offering a three-and-a-half-hour drinks package plus a spread of roaming canapés and grazing bites to keep you fueled. Each room will have DJs and guaranteed good vibes. Tickets and special early bird deals are available here.
Louey's
Farewell 2024 at Louey's with an Italian-inspired celebration. Housed within The Esplanade, this intimate haunt is perfect if you prefer to spend your New Year's indulging in a decadent Italian feast, paired with a four-hour drinks package featuring a classic Italian spritz on arrival.

We recommend buying tickets for the VIP experience which gives you access to The Ghost's intimate space, along with entry to all other rooms at The Espy.

Everyone's favourite rooftop, Harlow is another top pick to see out 2024, with a front-row seat to the fireworks at midnight. You can expect 4 hours of bottomless seltzers and tasty canapés, as well as roaming champagne for the countdown. Head down to the basement from 8pm for a killer DJ lineup to take you into the New Year. Buy tickets here.
Public House
If you want views of the midnight CBD Fireworks, you can't get much better than Public House. With four levels, including a rooftop, Public House is throwing one hell of a party. Enjoy a four-hour drinks package with roaming canapes while resident DJ spins tunes until 2am. Grab your tickets before they run out.

The Smith
If there's one thing we know, it's that The Smith knows to throw a damn good party. Taking bottomless to the next level, Prahran's favourite local will be serving up two fierce bottomless sessions at 4pm and 7pm. The best bit? There will be jaw-dropping drag performances from legendary DJ duo, The Jawbreakers. All that's left to do is get your hands on the tickets before they sell out.
