Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump will face off in three televised debates this election year. Each debate will begin at 9 PM and the first will air on Monday, September 26; the second on Sunday, October 9; and the third on Wednesday, October 19. In the midst of those dates, vice presidential nominees Tim Kaine and Mike Pence will contend on Tuesday, October 4.Now if you’re anything like us you’ll need to watch these debates with a drink in hand. Here are the bars in Philadelphia that will be screening the debates so you don’t have to go through this election season soberly. Know of any other bar showing the debates? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter.
Bars screening the Wednesday, October 22 debate:
The Delaware Waterfront bar will host a "Proudly Biased Viewing Party" for the third and final debate. They will celebrate Latinos for Trump foiunder Marco Gutierrez's infamous "threat" of "taco trucks on every corner" (he said it like that was a bad thing, come on!) by filling their outdoor beer garden, with, you guessed it—taco trucks! Tacos are $3 and so are Narragansett and Lionshead Beers.
Enjoy watch parties hosted by the guys of Talk Radio 1210 for all the debates this upcoming season. The first and third presidential debate parties will be held at Chickies and Pete’s in South Philly and the VP and second presidential debate will be held at their Parx Casino location.
