Solar Eclipse Viewing Party At Mike's York Road Tavern
The popular Warminster Eatery will hold a watch party for Monday's solar eclipse. Mike's York Road Tavern, a popular eatery in Pennsylvania, is hosting a Solar Eclipse Viewing Party from 2 p.m. to 6pm on Monday, offering 1/2 price apps and Blue Moon beer for the special event. The event is part of a celebration of the rare astronomical event, which occurs when the moon dances in front of the sun, casting a shadow over the Earth. The area will also see a partial solar eclipse, possibly reaching over 90 percent of totality. This is the highest solar coverage the region has seen since Memorial Day weekend in 1984.

The popular reopened eatery is hosting a Solar Eclipse Viewing Party from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, joining others in the region in paying tribute to this astronomical event. "Brace yourselves for a celestial marvel," the tavern said in a Facebook post. "Experience the magic as the moon gracefully dances in front of the sun, casting a mesmerizing shadow over the Earth."
Mike's is asking patrons to bring their eclipse glasses, friends, and excitement as "we gather to witness this rare cosmic spectacle together." Mike's will offer 1/2 price apps and 1/2 price Blue Moon beer for the special event.
The tavern officially reopened under a new name and ownership at the end of last year. During a total solar eclipse, the moon is positioned at just the correct distance to create a perspective where it is the same angular size as the Earth, and the moon appears to block the sun completely.
On Monday, the area will experience a partial solar eclipse, perhaps reaching over 90 percent of totality. That makes this a “deep partial” solar eclipse, where the sky will get noticeably darker, brighter stars will be visible and the sun’s profile will be reduced to a slender crescent. In Lower Bucks County, the moon will begin its path across the sun on Monday around 2 p.m. and will move from south to west for nearly two-and-a-half hours, until about 4:35 p.m.
The mid-eclipse time — when the highest coverage will occur — will be around 3:25 p.m. This is the greatest solar coverage the region has seen since Memorial Day weekend in 1984, which was at 95 percent.
The last significant partial non-annular eclipse was Aug. 21, 2017, when coverage was at 80 percent.
