No matter if you’re #WithHer, felt the Bern, or wish to make America great again, we can all agree that this election cycle has been stressful. Maybe you want to “Eternal Sunshine” the past six months, but you’ve done your civic duty. (And you have the coveted accessory to prove it.) Now, it’s time to watch the results roll in. No matter if it doesn’t work out the way you’d hoped, you can still relax knowing you’re not in Florida. Or Ohio.
Here are the best watch parties to give this election a proper send off. This is the easiest decision you’ll make today.
The Granada
Watch the results as they roll in on the Lower Greenville venue’s giant screen with concert-quality sound. Tweet your commentary, which will be streamed on a wall, while drinking a Clinton’s Email Server or Bigly & Hombre Combo. Feel free to come dressed as your favorite president. The best part, freedom is truly free at this event.
Goodfriend Beer Garden & Burger Bar
You don’t have to pick a side here. Perfectly timed, East Dallas’ most beloved bar is offering flights of Avery Brewing Company’s Demons and Dictators series. Avery Ale to the Chief will also be on tap. If it all becomes too overwhelming, get some fresh air on the expansive patio.
The Rustic
Drink away your election woes starting as early as 11 a.m. with themed libations. (Wear that infamous “I Voted” sticker for a free appetizer with your drink purchase.) Also, this place is big enough for all political affiliations, so sip on a #noneoftheabove while speculating on how your fellow patrons voted.
Dan’s Silver Leaf
Say you started heading for the Canadian border, got stuck on 35, and landed in Denton. It happens. But if that’s the case, wait it out at this Denton favorite.
The People’s Last Stand
Perhaps this is the most aptly named spot in which to spend Election Night. This Upper Greenville spot will be open until the concession speech. In honor of the occasion, sip on a party punch bowl for $20.16. There’s never been a better excuse to have a lingering headache on a Wednesday.
The Quarter Bar
You’ll find more themed drink specials here, from the Pant Suit (frozen Jack and Coke) to an Independent (PBR). Sip on one as America’s future is revealed.
Henry’s Majestic
Possibly the best named, politically incorrect cocktails reside here. From 5 p.m. to midnight, $2 will get you an What’s Aleppo or a The Grabber.
Roundup Saloon
After casting your vote, head over to Cedar Springs to watch the results trickle in with the Stonewall Democrats of Dallas.
