i go to school in that area, but i went home for the holidays. If you are in niagara falls there are some good bars in that area, along with casinos that will be rammed on new years. If you are in st. catharines which is where i go to school you got a bunch of options thatl be nuts that night. If you are the club type hit up big bucks, if you want a nice place to chill and have some pitchers i suggest the chili pepper aka... chili's. Both are in the downtown core on or just off st. paul. There are tons of other good places to go but those two are the ones that are the most consistently good and packed.
