DNC in BKLYN

September 6, 2012 8:10 AM

Where in Brooklyn can I watch the DNC tonight? I'm looking for a bar.

I live in Clinton Hill and would like to watch the DNC speeches tonight. Anyone know of a bar that will be having a DNC-watching event? I'd like to avoid going to Manhattan if at all possible.

Just go to the Democrats campaign office on 87th street. I'm sure there will be plenty of drinking as the convention showcases a few more stumbles on live tv tonight.

Another option is to search for a house party. I got an email from the campaign about a house party in my neighborhood (seriously, like four blocks from my place).

Four years ago, I watched one of the debates (VP, I believe) at Pacific Standard. According to their Twitter feed, they've been showing the DNC this week, though you can call to double-check that they'll be doing so again tonight. Good beer selection. They also have trivia I believe on Sunday nights.

Here's the link to find a watch party near you.
They seem to be mostly at bars, and there seem to be a lot of them in bkln.

I ended up watching at Black Swan in Bed-Stuy for future reference.
