"This Blagden Alley hideaway has maximized its limited space outdoors and transformed it into a space for cool cats. The alfresco space is varied and eclectic, with covered options, open tables, and bar seating. Swing by for trivia and craft-making nights, with a backyard happy hour deal (weekdays from 4 p.m to 6 p.m.) with discounted adult juice boxes, beer, wine, and snack specials." - Abi Newhouse
"Calico is hosting a low-key, all-day NYE hangout from 1 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., where guests can play board games, enjoy all-day drink specials, and eat festive food.

The bar’s regular food and drink menu will also be available, featuring festive hot cocktails like the Hot Jamaica (sorel liqueur, tequila, agave, hibiscus tea), plus shareable winter eats like the Italian sausage and white sauce Grandma Tomato Pie, a juicy French dip, and tater tot nachos.
