Two venues for watching Tuesday’s Presidential Debate have hit our radar – and as always, feel free to send us a tip if you know of another restaurant, bar, or public venue for upcoming debates!
5 Spot & broVo Spirits “Vote with your Liver”
First up, on Upper Queen Anne, the 5 Spot continues its “Vote With Your Liver” campaign in partnership with broVo Sprits. The 5 Spot will have the debate on the big-screen and your first vote is cast when you enter, so carefully choose the blue or red door upon arrival! Then let your liver vote with blue or red cocktails:
Blue: Let Me Be Clear Martini
Blue: Joe’s Scranton Manhattan
Red: Bain Baubles & Bubbles
Red: Private Sector Sunrise

At the bottom of the hill there’s the Next50 One Stop Ballot Shop at the Seattle Center Armory, a debate-watch party and candidate mingle featuring back-to-back Presidential and Gubernatorial debates on the big-screen. Armory vendors will be open and a beer/wine garden will keep spirits lively. (no charge for entry, but pre-registration is required)
