The SO and I are looking for a good place to watch, and hopefully celebrate, the election returns this Tuesday night. We could watch the big 3 at home (we don’t have cable, so no CNN) but we’d rather be out and about, and maybe enjoy a big-screen TV and some drinks.

I was invited to the ThinkBlue(.net) party, but that’s not for us. We don’t want music and dancing, we want a laid-back place where we can have a drink, sit back and absorb every bit of talking-head analysis we can get.

So far Union Hall in Brooklyn looks good, any other places you would recommend?

I’m going to Union Bar in Manhattan. I heard “Obamargarita” and I was sold.
