Here are our top picks on where to watch the polling results on Nov. 8.

Mingle with fellow Americans of all party affiliations at the Parkway Central Library’s Skyline Room. Watch the polls, play presidential trivia and enjoy hors d’oeuvres as well as an open bar. Mixing politics with conflicting political views isn’t a good idea so try not to debate each other.

Philly’s Collaborative, a group dedicated to young Jewish professionals, is hosting an election night event at Tavern on Broad. The evening will feature drink specials and will last until midnight. No matter how stressful the polling gets, this place has plenty of comfort food and alcohol to numb your pain. A bucket of chicken wings sounds really good right now.

The romantic bar and live performance venue is a great choice for those of us that would rather escape the stress of polling results through music. Located above Creperie Beaumonde, the evening’s lineup includes the mellow sounds of Adeline Hotel, Minor Moon, Kristian Rodriguez and Leaf Print. Hopefully one of the acts will perform a politically charged tune.
