Whether you decide to ring in the New Year at home or by dining out, Homer Street Café and Bar’s Executive Chef Bobby Milheron and Chef de Cuisine Tosh Agassiz are serving up two special ways to bid farewell to the craptastic year that was 2020.
For those wanting to get out of the house, Homer St. Café and Bar plans to be open on Thursday, December 31 from 11:30am to 11pm (BCCDC rules permitting), with alcohol service until 10pm. The regular in-house dining menu will be complemented with special additions, such as Northern Divine caviar, Prime Rib, and Snow Crab, and an expanded selection of bubbles and cocktails. Reservations can be made online, but walk-ins welcome with space permitting.
For those celebrating at home, the five-course New Year’s Eve Homer @ Home menu serves two people for a price of $180 and can be heated when ready to enjoy. From December 15-29, it will be available for pre-order online via Tock and by telephoning the restaurant directly at (604) 428-4299. Orders can be picked up all day December 30 and 31.

Beverage Director JS Dupuis, suggests pairing your 2020 last supper with his carefully curated French Bubbles Discovery Package ($147), a set of four sparkling wines from across France — each quite hard to source in British Columbia, and with one available exclusively at Homer St. The package offers a 40% discount from the restaurant’s wine list pricing and can be added to your New Year’s Eve Homer @ Home order and picked up at the same time.
Note: Homer St.’s regular menu will also be available for take out and delivery on New Year’s Eve, December 31.
