Tonight, the moment the world has been waiting for, the debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
As each candidate articulates their vision for America’s future, the political stage is set as viewers brace themselves for a clash of the century.
While supporters will stand behind their candidate at all costs, often times they end up finding themselves in derogatory arguments with total strangers on social media for hours on end, blaming the other chosen candidate for all the bad in the world and exposing each candidate’s wicked past.
Vibrations are lowered, brotherly love is put on the back burner, and division makes its way into the hearts of men. It’s election time, where division and false promises seem to mix together as well as rum and coke.
But not in downtown!
Downtown has found the most enjoyable way to limit election time evil while enjoying the gladiator games at the same time.
For this presidential debate, once again, various locations in downtown will allow patrons to come together, get toasted, and have the utmost fun while watching the debate.

Happy Hour at 33 Taps starts 3 pm to 7 pm Monday through Friday with special deals on favorite dishes, drinks, and a wide selection of ice-cold beer. There literally is no valid reason for bitterness during happy hour, making it the perfect time for a 6 p.m. debate.
Order another round of drinks!
Every time Trump mispronounces Kamala’s name, take a shot! Every time Kamala calls Trump a convicted felon, take another shot! Never mind, that sounds dangerous, actually. We suggest patrons drink responsibly or at least order their fair share of cheeseburgers, calamari, fried chicken wings, or pizzas to soak it up.
They don’t call it a race for nothing.
This election marks a series of history-making moments. If Kamala Harris wins, she will be the first criminal prosecuting attorney, the first female president, and the first Blasian president of the United States.
If Donald Trump wins, he will become the first President since Grover Cleveland to serve non-consecutive terms, but he won’t be the first white President. Or the first president with a criminal record.
Save and Sound Underground at Continental Club

RSVP in a hurry to join the debate viewing party at the Continental Club starting at 5pm. Space is limited, so don’t delay if specialty cocktails and sharing a view of large LED screens with full surround sound are your thing.
Continental Club is famous for being one of the longest-running debate viewing destinations for downtown locals for over a decade. The best part about the Continental is that it’s two stories underground and it’s known to be dark, so really there’s no telling what race the patrons are. Regardless of what race or political party you represent, hug the patron every time the race issue is brought up.
Black, white, yellow, brown…democrat, republican, gay, straight and bi, rich or poor etc, etc…
The one thing the candidates and the voters do have in common is America. Tax-paying citizens are looking to their candidates to utilize every cent to solve every modern-age problem from immigration to inflation, from gender equality to the environment, from infrastructure to poverty, from the economy to healthcare, from race relations to ending all wars. You know, the usual.
If by some chance this doesn’t happen in the next four years, regardless of who wins, we still have each other.
There are other venues hosting debate viewing parties who haven’t posted on our free online calendar; most likely your downtown favorite is going to show the debates!
There’s also a long list of downtown luxury lofts that offer their tenants big screens, city views, common areas with BBQ pits, and more. Drinking responsibly is most affordable when you only have to ride the elevator to the watch party… That is, if you’re lucky enough to live in a downtown luxury high rise.
The 90-minute debate, moderated by David Muir and Linsey Davis of ABC, Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
