Planning Your Night
Christmas Eve is a Thursday this year and Christmas Day a Friday, so many bars keep shorter holiday hours and some close. Treat every listing here as the plan and check the venue’s Instagram the day of. Shows and parties with presale tickets, such as The Funky Biscuit and MatzoBall, can sell out, and the MatzoBall pages state that sales are final. Rideshare surge pricing is common after midnight on both nights, especially from Miami Beach. In downtown Fort Lauderdale, Munchie’s and Kemistry are a short walk apart on SW 2nd Street, which makes an easy two stop night. In Boca Raton, The Funky Biscuit and Boca Luna Luxe Lounge are both on SE Mizner Boulevard, so you can see the 8pm show and walk over to MatzoBall afterward. Heavy metal fans can watch the Culture Room calendar, which lists A Very Metal Christmas for December 26 with details still to be announced.
