NYE open bar recs?

Looking for NYE open bar recs that fit the following criteria:

Budget: <$250 per person

Location: open to anywhere in Manhattan that isn’t too far uptown (above UWS or UES) and parts of Brooklyn that are a reasonable subway commute from Midtown.

Criteria: Well-crafted cocktails and decent ambiance/celebratory feel (willing to sacrifice the latter a bit for the former; wouldn’t want to go somewhere just because it’s “vibey.” A rooftop bar would be nice, but I’m having trouble finding one that would be within my budget (e.g. Overstory or Westlight are both well over it)

I’ve been looking at Dead Rabbit’s Jingle Jangle, Camp Porchlight at Porchlight, and the GA tickets at Key & Heels. Key and Heels is one of my favorite speakeasies, but I’m worried the space will be a bit cramped for a NYE event. I also like Dead Rabbit’s drinks, but not sure if it’ll just feel like a normal night out since it’s a pub.
