Booking tables in cafés and restaurants for a New Year's celebration with colleagues and friends is never too early. In one of the cafés in Molochno, for example, someone reserved a table as early as August. But by the end of November it may already be too late. We compiled a top‑seven list of venues, found out the prices and conditions.

I don’t want to favor any of the seven restaurants the correspondent visited, but let’s start with the café “Laguna,” located at 25 Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Street, near Victory Park.

Spend New Year’s Eve at “Laguna”

“Laguna” deserves top priority at least because only here, among all seven venues the journalist visited, you can both celebrate New Year’s Eve and welcome the new year at midnight.

Moreover, “Laguna” turned out to be the only café where some customers had booked tables for the New Year’s celebration as early as August. Administrator Anna explained this.

– On December 18, 19, 24, 25, and 26 there are reservations, but there are still spots available. The festive program will be held on the second floor, which has a maximum capacity of 120 people. But on the first floor there is also a karaoke hall, – Aleśya says. – Different city organizations contact us. There are old clients who have celebrated with us in previous years. It’s best to submit a request two weeks before the chosen day. At the beginning of December we will call everyone who is registered with us to make sure their plans haven’t changed. Of course, we can accept a request even a few days before the celebration if there happen to be free spots, but it’s better to arrange everything in advance.

Aleśya notes that “Europe” has its own Snegurochka, who serves as the host of the entire corporate event, while last year they chose a Santa Claus straight from the guests. But the ladies had completely worn him out, so now they will have to decide whether to repeat last year’s experience with Santa Claus or hire that character elsewhere.
