Bars and restaurants preparing for New Year’s Eve crowds

As you get ready to count down to the New Year, bars and restaurants across Fresno want you to be able to count on them for good safe fun.

Howlin’ Wolf is hosting a ticketed event in the Tower District to ring in 2025.

Management says this will benefit both the guests and bartenders because they say smaller crowds means a better guest experience.

“Its not only comfortable for our guests, but also for our staff members. I think NYE has a tendency to get out of hand so limiting the amount of tickets that we have allows us to control service and the kind of service we can provide to our guests,” said Anthony Chacon with Howlin’ Wolf.

They’re also keeping guest safety top of mind by bringing in additional security for the evening.

“We want to make sure everybody is staying safe and has a good time, you know. We want them to be able to enjoy themselves, but also want them to do it safely,” said Chacon.

If you have any concerns that another guest has tampered with your drink, just ask a bartender for the new state required test strips to test for any drugs.
