There are countless options for celebrating New Year’s. But if you’re the sort who enjoys being near a big New Year’s party but not necessarily in it; gravitates toward literature and recorded music; and still digs a little adult beverage on a secular holiday, Amazing Books & Records might have you covered.

At its Downtown and Squirrel Hill locations, the store hosts its Books & Beer New Year’s Bash from 8 p.m. to midnight tomorrow.

Fair warning: The Downtown event will of course sit in the midst of the huge annual First Night Pittsburgh festival. But for those who think browsing books and LPs sounds plenty festive, thank you, this is a great alternative (or complement).

Amazing’s Downtown location is 929 Liberty Ave. The Squirrel Hill store is at 2030 Murray Ave. (There’s no party at the brand-new Oakland outlet.)

At the time of this posting, Books & Beer was not yet listed on Amazing's website, but CP has verbally confirmed that it's happening.

Happy New Year.
