The Final Countdown: Election Night Destinations in Los Ange

5750 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028 (map)

Forget polls, it's all about pool at this huge Hollywood hangout. Aside from the 60 HD screens, 30 different draft beers and outdoor courtyard where smokers can light up all night, there will be politically themed eats like "left wings" and "right wings" and drinks like the McCain Raspberry Margarita and the Barack Blue Hawaiian.

9400 West Olympic Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90212 (map)

Avalon's poolside patio will be offering their "Drink the Vote" menu and cocktails all night as the drama unfolds on a big plasma screen TV. From the Obamarita and McCainade to the Filibuster Cheese Steak and Caucus Kabobs, each item is $8 or 3 for $20. And, as always, the valet parking is free!

8593 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069 (map)

Attention all voters! There won't be any real "viewing party" at this organic fast-food joint, but if you stop by anytime between 11:30am and 9:30pm today you'll get a free order of organic fries or fresh organic cookies with any burger order ? no matter who?s elected.

7661 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90046 (map)

There's been a lot of beef between the candidates, so why not engage in a proper campaign sendoff at this new Melrose meat mecca? With 2 large flat screens--one at each end of the bar--you'll have a spot for prime viewing, drinking and downing those wood-grilled burgers. (Flinging bits o' meat not allowed.)

5620 East 2nd Street, Long Beach, CA 90803 (map)

This snazzy spot in Long Beach might have a cool scene (especially its sexy rooftop), but things will no doubt heat up as the final results come in throughout the evening. There will be free pizzettes for all voters and a special three-course meal for $35.

692 N Robertson Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069 (map)

Boys' Town largest outdoor patio will be monitoring the election results in true WeHo fashion from 9am to 2am with all-American decor, drink specials (announced with every blue state win) and an Uncle Sam transvestite ... er, impersonator.

887 S Anaheim Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92805 (map)

It's only fitting that this historic landmark is hosting ?Race To The White House,? with live coverage of the election on specially placed TV screens and four-course Obama vs. McCain menus. The $44 prix-fixe menus feature items such as John McCalamari and Sarah Palin pasta e fagioli soup and the more ?left leaning? Barack O-Chicken and Joe Biden veal. Just remember, keep it mellow--you're in O.C., baby.

316 W Second St, Los Angeles, CA 90012 (map)

Does this election stink? (Well, maybe.) But that smell is probably coming from The Onion, everybody's favorite source for non-news, which is sponsoring tonight's election party at this downtown pirate-themed lounge. Mateys can indulge in $3 drink specials (whether you're on the red or blue side) while watching the results on the big screen. Expect plenty of "Arrgghs" from the losing team.
