poptimistsI have a question for London poptimists: A tradition amongst Teh Wife and her girl friends is to have a big party on Eurovision night, with multidimensional voting, getting well drunk, etc etc. This year however, to celebrate The Graham Norton Takeover*, 5-7 of them will be spending the weekend in London instead. Of course they could get loads of cheap bouze and watch it in one of their hotel rooms, but they think it might be more fun to watch it Out Someplace.
So, the question is, does there exist such a thing in London as a pub or whatever making a thing out of Eurovision? For the girls, the main criteria are
1) it should be shown with some dedication, ie possible to see, hear & follow what's going on, not just having it on a low-volume telly drowned out by other music/noise;
2) they have Reached A Certain Age (abt 32-40), and may wish to avoid places full of only bingein' 18-year-olds or similar.
It is a longshot I realize, but maybe not inconceivable: does such an event exist?
*) (Maybe not entirely, though there are indeed fans among them)

The ladies are better off in their hotel room - or they should just have a party at home!"
Sorry.
