Pub I can eat/watch the Sunday debate in Westbrook,Portland Maine?

October 7, 2016 2:28 AM

I'm going to Westbrook/Portland, Maine for work and arriving on Sunday. I'm staying near the airport. Any suggestions for a place where I can eat which will have the debate on?

It's my 1st time to Maine... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(as an American living in Holland....I'm salivating for a great burger....but I appreciate any good food. Also, the whole Trump thing has been surreal. While I've loved the campaign threads, I watched the last two debates by myself at 3 in the morning and it would be cool to watch it in a place with other people.)

Best answer: Welcome to Maine Spumante!

There is a debate watching party at Gritty McDuffs in Portland. It is a local brew pub and you can definitely get a burger there!

I haven't been out to eat in Portland much, lately, as I was away for quite a bit, but Portland is a great restaurant town, and easily reached by bus or taxi from the airport. Nosh shows up repeatedly in these lists:Eater, Yelp, Thrillist. Any interest in a meetup for debate viewing?

Response by poster: ( resolved / follow up) Gritty's was great! It was awesome to watch the debate as the small downstairs bar room was organized by some Clinton/Kaine volunteers.

Good beer and the burger hit the spot. (I got the BBQ Burger with coleslaw and Sweet Potatoe fries ;)
