The time has come for Lost-ophiles — the vexing, glorious, soul-crushing, addictive, annoying and triumphant ABC series will end its six-season run with a 150-minute finale episode this coming Sunday, May 23. While a lot of us dorks are planning home parties complete with Dharma Initiative branding, many Lost fans might be looking to head out on the town to ring in the end of an era. Several local bars/restaurants are getting in on the fun; we've detailed a few finale events after the jump. If you know of any other Lost parties going down in the area, leave a comment or email drew.lazor@citypaper.net with details and we'll update accordingly. Also, please watch this video of Man in Black counseling Jacob. UPDATE [22may10]: We knew they would be OTHERS! (ZOMGZ LOST JOKE!) Added some new Lost parties/specials after the jump. Also, changed the headline because some fellow Lost fans told us it sucked. If you all everybody have one better than this, leave it in the comments! - Philly Beer Scene is organizing an elaborate Lost party starting at 7 p.m. at Cork in Westmont (90 Haddon Ave.). PBS editor Mat Falco tells Meal Ticket that they'll be projecting the show on a giant screen in the parking lot, where they'll also be roasting a boar (!). Great Lakes is the beer sponsor, though the Cleveland brewery's labels will be covered up with Dharma Initative branding (above). They'll have a coconut-shucking contest, a costume contest and Lost trivia starting at 8 p.m.; they'll be giving away club box tix to Phillies games and other prizes. Free to get in, pay as you go. In the case of inclement weather, the party will simply move inside, big-ass screen and all. - At Tabu (200 S. 12th St.), they'll broadcast the show on all six TVs on the first floor. Their usual three-buck Sunday drink deal will apply ($3 wines, $3 well drinks, $3 sweet tea vodka drinks), but they'll also be offering a special drink menu punning off Lost character names — think "Cupkate" and "E-Claire." They're still deciding on whether or not to put out Lost-themed food specials. We'll update if we hear more. - National Mechanics (22 S. Third St.) will also kick off a Lost party at 7 p.m. We're still waiting on details for this, but as of right now we know that there'll be live performances from (ahem) Geronimo Jackson and Drive Shaft. - Starting at 7 p.m., Cantina dos Segundos (931 N. Second St.) will air the show and serve up Lost-themed drinks like a Black Rock mojito (blackberry mojitos with black rock candy) and a "Sawyer Special" (a Dharma beer and a shot of Sauza). Wild boar tacos to eat. - All TVs at The Institute (549 N. 12th St.) will be tuned to Lost. Two bucks off all Sly Fox drafts and $2 off appetizers from 7 to 11 p.m. - Sabrina's (910 Christian St.) is running some awesome Lost-themed specials, including:

Hurley's "Mr. Cluck"" Mexi-Special: fried flour tortilla topped with Spanish rice with achiote grilled chicken, chorizo, tomatoes, bell peppers, black beans and chilies. Finished with fried eggs, tomatillo-mango pico de gallo and lime sour cream.
Charlie's You All Everybody" Egg White Omelet: with roasted sweet potatoes, grlled fennel, onions, arugula, basil and sharp cheddar cheese.
Dharma Initiative Breakfast Special: bobota bread with olives and rosemary topped with scrambled eggs with fresh spinach, feta cheese and roasted eggplant, grilled turkey sausage, topped with artichoke-plum tomato-red onion chutney and cucumber dill sour cream.
