GooSee Inc. Announces Last Call 2027, a Hidden-Door New Year’s Eve Speakeasy at Ottawa’s Cohere Centre

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OTTAWA, ON – GooSee Inc. today announced Last Call 2027, a password-gated, 1920s-style speakeasy taking over Cohere Centre’s Hall 3 on December 31, 2026, for a New Year’s Eve experience built around live jazz, cabaret and aerial performances, and a hidden second room most guests will never find.

Produced under PeakEXP, GooSee’s event-production brand, Last Call 2027 reimagines the traditional New Year’s Eve gala as a night of discovery: guests receive a password by email before the event, pass through a dim entry tunnel, and find themselves in a room built to evoke a Prohibition-era supper club. Behind a second, less obvious door lies the VIP Nook, a speakeasy-within-the-speakeasy styled as “2060 Off-Grid,” reserved for the event’s highest ticket tier.

“Most New Year’s Eve events are a ballroom with balloons and a countdown. We wanted to build something people would talk about walking in the door, before the champagne is even poured,” said Ben Scholte, founder of GooSee Inc. and producer of Last Call 2027. “The password, the tunnel, the second door, every layer is designed to make the night feel like a discovery instead of a ticket.”
