Washington D.C. To World: During Inauguration Weekend, We’re Keeping our Bars Open Late For You

The D.C. Council voted to allow bars, nightclubs and restaurants to pour booze until 5 a.m., and to serve food 24 hours a day, from January 17-20. That’s the long weekend before Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th president of the United States. So you may not be able to find a place to sleep, but you’ll always be able to find a place for a Yuengling and a crab cake.

Who needs sleep? It’ll just be like Amsterdam, with all the Brits partying the entire weekend and not even bothering to get a room. Good times!
