SOTU at a bar in Portland, Ore.?

Is there a bar in Portland, Oregon where I can watch the State of the Union Speech tonight (which I think airs at 6:00 Pacific)??

Or a bar that might be willing to put it on without everyone in the bar giving me the stink eye?

Best answer: If you just need the SOTU, and not necessarily to watch it in a bar, Hulu is streaming it live. (And yes, the speech starts at 9:00 EST/6:00 Pacific).

Best answer: If you are looking for political folks (of the progressive persuasion) to see it with, there is a watch party at The Guild (on Burnside).

Best answer: I haven't been in the bar, but The Guild Public House will be airing it on three screens, including a 92-inch screen. Happy hour until the pres speaks. 1101 E Burnside.

Best answer: The White House is streaming it live along with an "enhanced viewer experience".

Best answer: The brand new Guild Public House on E. Burnside is having a big SOTU viewing party.

(The pub's actual website seems to be a bit flaky right now.

Best answer: Definitely check out The Guild. It's owned by Jesse Cornett, a longtime politico, and the crowd will definitely be expecting SOTU, not college basketball or anything else.
