DC bars to open early for impeachment mania

Restaurant and bar owners in Washington are aiming to cash in on impeachment in a decidedly #thistown way, opening their doors early so the city's politically minded revelers can imbibe as they take in the House's first televised hearings.
The House impeachment inquiry into President Trump's dealings with Ukraine is poised to enter a new phase on Wednesday, with public hearings scheduled in the Intelligence Committee, with more set for Friday.
Duffy's Irish Pub, in the District's H Street NE neighborhood, will feature what it's dubbing "happy hearing hours," with $5 rail drinks and $2 off all drafts and wine during all impeachment hearings. The watering hole — which boasts eight large, flat-screen TVs with a "stadium sound" system — says it's also whipping up a pair of impeachment beverages to mark the occasion. Bartenders will be serving a "Subpoena Colada" and a drink called "James and the Giant Impeachment."
The eatery isn't the only place prepping for all the impeachment action in the House.
