Reader question: Where to watch Mad Men in Brooklyn?

Is that a girly drink in front of Don?

Is that a girly drink in front of Don?

Y’all had brilliant suggestions for curly haircuts, so here’s another query, from cable-less reader Andrew, for the collective Brokelyn brain trust:

Do you know if there’s any place—a bar?—in Brooklyn that has Mad Men “viewing parties,” AKA, has a TV that shows Mad Men? I don’t have cable, but I want to get into this show, which at this point appears to be the only worthwhile show on TV.  I know I can probably watch old episodes online . . . but that’s not as fun. HELP!

Any ideas for Andrew, folks? Bonus for bars with show-appropriate drink specials (an old-fashioned is very Don Draper and a vodka gimlet very Betty, according to The Times).

    closest i could find was someone mentioning a Mad Men watching party on a yelp messageboard.

    Brooklyn Events has a weekly Mad Men viewing party at a Park Slope apartment (which includes cocktails!). Limited to 12 people and $5/per person. Sign up at http://bkmadmen823.eventbrite.com. To see more of their events go to http://www.bklynevents.com.

    Get a Roku box from Netflix! It hooks up to your TV. You can buy the latest MadMen for $1.99 per episode (through a partnership they have with Amazon). They have all of Season 1 and 2, too. You can also buy the full season for something like $20.

    i’m in the same boat as andrew, and was delighted to find that The Counting Room (44 Berry St BKLYN) says they are doing a screening every Sun at 10!!! Rocks!

    Last week Sheep Station (4th Ave & Douglass) agreed to show it–free, of course. It went so well that the owner has agreed to reserve the back room and play it on a projector each week! Plus, they have good Don and Roger-esque drinks!

    TBD in Greenpoint is a pretty sure bet for mad men! Nice space, lots of seating and multiple screens
