They all voted for Nader

There's been a lot of hype leading up to it, and now it’s finally time to vote for the next president of the United States. It’s your civic duty as an American to have your say in who runs your country, so it’s a pretty important decision.

For taking part in such a crucial election, Metromix thinks you deserve a reward. We’ve rounded up some of the best places to grab a drink after you visit the polls to congratulate yourself for voting.

The Winchester Tavern and Music Hall

pick The Winchester Tavern and Music Hall

12112 Madison Ave. - Lakewood
216-226-5681

If you’re voting at the Cudell Recreation Center, try stopping at The Winchester Tavern and Music Hall, where open mic night will be in full swing. Choosing just one of The Winchester’s 39 kinds of beer might seem daunting, but hey, you just picked a president—picking a beer should be no problem!

Izzo's

10042 Lorain Ave. - Cleveland
216-651-1241

If your voting location is Almira Elementary School, visit Izzo’s. Voting Democrat? Try Izzo’s signature blueberry bomb (it's blue). Republican? Go for a Jager bomb (it's not blue).

Beachland Ballroom and Tavern

Beachland Ballroom and Tavern

15711 Waterloo Rd - Cleveland
216-383-1124

Those of you casting your vote at St. Joseph Collinwood School should treat yourselves to the Beachland Ballroom and Tavern. There’s no show on election night, but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying a beer or mixed drink from the extensive bar offerings.

Spot II Lounge

11804 Kinsman Rd. - Cleveland
216-561-0790

If your polling station is the Zelma George Community Center, opt for Spot II Lounge turning in your ballot. It can be a bit rowdy here, so it's the perfect place to let loose after making such an important decision.

City Grill

City Grill

6416 Detroit Ave. - Cleveland
216-651-2170

Voters at Waverly Elementary School may want to stop at City Grill on the way home from the polls. The bartenders here are always friendly and will welcome you with open arms, no matter which side of the aisle you lean toward.

Thermadore Lounge

17406 Grovewood Ave. - Cleveland
216-531-5343

If your polling location is the Salvation Army in Grovewood, consider dropping by the Thermadore Lounge, located just down the street. The party—and we’re not talking Republican or Democratic—never stops at the Thermadore, so why not join in?

The Flying Monkey Pub

The Flying Monkey Pub

819 Jefferson Ave. - Cleveland
216-861-6659

If you finish casting your vote at Tremont Elementary School and feel like celebrating in a more sophisticated manner, head to the Flying Monkey Pub. The Flying Monkey’s extensive martini menu is enough to satisfy any voter’s thirst for class (especially you elitists out there).

With all of these drinking possibilities, we just ask one thing: please limit the heavy partying to after, not before, you vote. After all, who wants to figure out those voting machines after a few too many? That's how Bush got voted in.
