Local bars in preparation for the New Year’s Eve celebrations
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - With the holiday just hours away, locals are already planning where to be when they celebrate the evening with friends and families... but how are the local bars preparing?
Elissa Franklin, a bartender at Red's Bird Cage in Downtown Yuma, says that while she is feeling nervous serving her first New Year's celebration as a bartender, she is still very excited to spread liveliness to families coming to have a few drinks.
She also said that in the past year, the community is what made her experience so memorable and special, and that it would not have been a good year without them.
“They bring Red’s to a community, that’s what makes it a community. All the people. And without them, this wouldn’t have been a good year.”
Kitchen Manager at Prison Hill Brewing Co., Rodolfo Quiroz, says that New Year's is about friends getting together to spend one last moment together before the year ends, showing them around to different places to eat and hang out.
Many bars will be open tonight, including Red's Bird Cage (my personal favorite). Be sure to follow state laws on drinking, and be sure to drink responsibly during your New Year's celebrations.
