I imagine this isn't what you want to hear, but I also suggest not going. You say that cravings are eating you alive, and going out will put you in a situation where you would normally get drunk whether or not your friends do. And it sounds like they don't know you're trying to quit, and will order drinks and you'll feel pressured to order "just one", too.

We have to protect our sobriety especially early on, and that means changing what we do and who we spend time with. Putting ourselves in risky situations like this usually means relapse and starting over after more damage. There will come a time when a night out like this is no big deal, no stress or worry and just a nice night out, but it sounds to me like now isn't the right time to test those waters.
