Looking for an Election Night Watch Party? These DC Bars Have You Covered.

Sure, the political watch party isn’t quite the wonky festivity it once was. But bars around DC are still rallying for election night, hosting socially-distant watch events with limited seating and voting day specials. Here’s where to watch the 2020 results on November 3—after all, misery loves company.

Duffy’s Irish Pub
1016 H St., NE
The H Street pub is hosting a watch party with nine televisions dedicated to election night results starting at 6 PM. Fuel up on game-day favorites like wings and sliders (or grab some fish and chips to pretend you’re far, far away). Details: Indoor and outdoor seating.

Hook Hall
3400 Georgia Ave., NW
Reserve a table for up to six people inside this massive beer hall, which will have views of the 20-foot screen and six additional televisions streaming results. Each seating has a three hour time slot. Details: Indoor seating.

The Midlands
3333 Georgia Ave., NW

Cozy up by the firepit and try a fun election-themed cocktail at this beer garden from 4 PM to midnight. There are some 2016 throwbacks, like the “Moscow Mueller Report” and “Nasty Woman,” or you could opt for the “ForBiden Fruit.” Details: Outdoor seating.
