Legitimately good open bars for NYE – any recs? No budget

Not quite dining but the group here is so helpful so I figured I’d ask. Looking for an option for an open bar on NYE that has legitimately good cocktails, won’t be insanely packed, and just overall has a nice/classy feel. I’ve seen a few that offer them but I’m curious if anyone went to them in years’ past and can vouch for them. Eg:

1. Overstory: [https://resy.com/cities/ny/venues/overstory/events/nye-at-overstory-9-pm-entry-2023-12-31?date=2023-12-31&seats=2](https://resy.com/cities/ny/venues/overstory/events/nye-at-overstory-9-pm-entry-2023-12-31?date=2023-12-31&seats=2) ($525)
2. Bar Blondeau: [https://www.barblondeau.com/new-years-eve](https://www.barblondeau.com/new-years-eve) ($295)
3. Death and co: [https://www.exploretock.com/deathconyc](https://www.exploretock.com/deathconyc) ($125)
4. Pebble bar: [https://resy.com/cities/ny/venues/pebble-bar/events/new-years-eve-at-the-pebble-2023-12-31?seats=2&date=2023-12-18](https://resy.com/cities/ny/venues/pebble-bar/events/new-years-eve-at-the-pebble-2023-12-31?seats=2&date=2023-12-18) ($150-$250)

Given the cost of tickets being pretty high, I’m looking for **personal experience.** They all sound great, but I’m looking for someone who has actually gone. Any advice?
