Beer & Debates

Bars that will be showing the Presidential Debate next Friday in Chicago.

I'd like to have some friends out for my birthday next Friday, which happens to be the first presidential debate. I don't want to miss them, and I don't want to make people choose, does anyone know where we can drink and watch the debate? Thanks!

I took the liberty of posting this question on Chicago Yelp. They're usually really good at sniffing out answers to questions like these.

Something tells me every bar in Hyde Park will be showing the debates. For sure it'll be on at Jimmy's Woodlawn Tap, though you might have to get by on subtitles.

Delilah's stopped the music & cheesy Japanese films for Obama's speech, so there's a chance they'll do the same again. Maybe not though, so YMMV.

Check out: http://my.barackobama.com/ and search for events - I'm not in Chicago, but there were bars near me that were doing this.

In the end, I went to Schuba's and they had the debates on. I love Schuba's.
