State Of The Union 2016 Watch Party NYC: Best Bars, Events Where You Can Watch Obama In New York City

It's President Barack Obama's final State of the Union address to the nation and for many Americans that's reason enough to head to a party with Americans of similar political leanings and toast to the end of another four-year administration. In New York City, Democratic activists, bar owners and other politically active groups will be watching Obama's final address to the nation with food and beer. Below is a list of some of the best watch parties for the 2016 State of the Union being held in the five boroughs.

The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and the NYC Veterans Alliance will watch the State of the Union at Point Break NYC bar at 12 W 45th Street in Manhattan. The group announced: “Veterans of all eras and political persuasions are invited to join us in respectful viewing & discussion of issues that matter to us! Civilians welcome, too. IAVA is generously providing food and drinks from 8 to 9 PM; the speech will be broadcast on big screen televisions 9-10 PM.” The bar has been praised for its cheap drinks and chicken wings on Yelp. "The $5 shot wheel was great; I landed on yager-bombs so that wasn't a bad price for that drink," wrote one user.

The Democratic group that helped elect Obama, Organizing for America, is asking supporters to remember where they were when Obama was first elected or re-elected. They will gather Tuesday night in Harlem with refreshments, guest speakers and a networking session from 8 to 11 p.m. at the Henry J. Carter Center at 1752 Park Avenue.
