NEW YORK (WABC) -- Don't want to watch the Democratic president debate alone Tuesday night? We've compiled some watch parties where you share your reaction with a crowd.



The debate starts at 9 p.m. and includes five of the candidates running on the Democratic ticket -- Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, Jim Webb, Lincoln Chafee and Hillary Clinton in the middle.



Here are some of the events we found. We're sure there are a lot of other places showing the debate, too. If you know of any, post the info and/or link in the comment section below or tweet it to us @abc7NY.
