Thursday

Yoga Night at Dixie’s Tavern (301 E. 5th St.): You can make work toward your New Year’s fitness resolutions, and finally have a legitimate excuse to wear sweatpants to a bar!

Friday

Friday Night Live at Strike City (210 E. Trade St.): Strike City isn’t just a bowling alley, it’s a bar, where you can dance in bowling shoes. Live music from Hot Sauce Party Band. 9 p.m. $5 cover. 704-716-9300.

New to the nightlife scene

On New Year’s Day, the owners of Brazwells Premium Pub opened Joe Hopper’s in Plaza Midwood (1300 Central Ave.). 704-334-2434.

And (cue the dramatic movie narrator voice) coming in 2013:

• Lake Norman’s Olive (279 Williamson Road, Mooresville) hosts a grand-opening party later this month.

•  Stache House Bar & Lounge (1520 South Blvd.) will feature “high-end liquors, specialty martinis, select wines, local craft beer and a variety of flavored hookah” when it opens. 980-338-0530.

• The owners of Tin Roof, one of the most popular bars in Nashville, are opening another location at the uptown EpiCentre (210 E. Trade St.) this spring. www.tinroofbars.com.
