So was my lovely Facebook friend who approached me for guidance earlier today.
The first locale that came to mind? I'm going to sound like a broken record but so be it if it ensures my readers are well-taken care of: Irish Embassy. Located on Bishop Street just south of Ste. Catherine (map), I'm fond of Embassy's multi-screen setup, low creepy patron count, ample seating arrangements -- hint: no sardine-squeezed standing in here -- and staff has consistently been courteous and efficient over the dozen-plus times I've been there in recent history. And it's confirmed. They'll be airing results as they come in as well as screen "pre-game" election coverage as early as 7 or 8 p.m.
If you know of any other venues doing the same thing as Irish Embassy, don't be shy to shout it in the comments section below.
