The hotly awaited presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is tonight at 9 p.m., and you KNOW D.C. is watching that like it’s the Superbowl. Here are the best spots in town to catch the debate with your fellow poli-sci nerds.
You know Red Derby has the hook up. $7 margs, $3 Tecate, and 1/2 priced chicken tendies to take the edge off.
🚇 metrobar
metrobar will have the debate on the big screens and $9 cocktail & combo specials as part of their Industry Night.
Dew Drop promises free popcorn and popsicles along with themed cocktails for any brave enough to come watch the debate.

If you wanted food along with all that booze, Shaw’s Tavern is offering $12 Taco Plates (for 3 tacos). Oh, and $10 Margaritas.
Forget drinking games, how about some debate bingo? Madhatter is offering prizes for the winners, $5 red, white, and blue jello shots, and $8 All American Burgers.
It’s a classic for a reason. Expect drinking games and specials ranging from $4 beers to a $340 "guilty pleasure platter,” whatever that means. Union Pub draws outlandish crowds. You’ll need to get there early for a chance at a seat.
Nothing fancy, just some fun $10 drink specials and great vibes. Get the Filibuster Buzz, the Bipartisan Breeze, or the Swing State Sangria.
🐝 Midlands
Boo and cheer from the outdoor picnic tables at Midlands, where there’s all-night happy hour. Come early; seating is first come first serve.
