After nearly a decade of dragons and direwolves, Starks and Lannisters, sex and violence, shocking twists and furious arguments on Twitter, HBO’s fantasy epic Game of Thrones is finally coming to an end at 9 p.m. this Sunday. And no matter if you think Daenerys’s latest actions were completely out-of-character or perfectly in line with what we’ve seen for eight seasons, or if you’re still clinging to hope that Jon might finally give poor Ghost a hug if he claims the Iron Throne, one thing we can all agree on is that you won’t want to miss what is arguably the biggest television event of the year. If you want to spend Sunday night someplace other than the comfort of your own couch, here are a few venues hosting the finale live so you can cheer, cry, and shout with your fellow Atlantans.
Now, back to arguing who will claim the Throne. Dany? Jon? Arya? Oh, we know it’s going to be Davos . . .
The Ultimate Finale Party at Second Self Beer Company
When: 7 p.m.

Illegal Food will provide the eats, and there will even be knights from Medieval Times—in case the finale wasn’t entertaining enough.
