The Hill — A Washington, D.C., bar is opening its doors early Thursday morning to broadcast former FBI Director James Comey’s highly anticipated testimony in front of Congress.

Shaw’s Tavern will open at 9:30 a.m. for “The Comey Hearing Covfefe.” The bar will feature $5 “Russian Vodka flavors” and a $10 “FBI” sandwich.

“Come on… you know you want to watch the drama unfold this Thursday,” a Facebook post for the event reads. “We will be opening early at Shaw’s Tavern at 9:30am and the hearing starts at 10am on all 5 tv’s with sound.”

D.C.’s just a different breed huh? Takes a certain type to do that whole scene. To really love it down there. To be in that D.C. rat race with your whole life orbiting around political power. Normal days of the week don’t apply. Normal hours of the day don’t apply. Normal human interaction does not apply. Normal excuses to go to the bar do not apply.

I’ve done the bar scene for many different events — Super Bowl, World Cup, Olympics, Masters, New Year’s Eve, it being Saturday, work being over for the day, my ex posting a sexy Instagram, Wales historic Euro 2016 victory over Ireland (I am Cool. I drink.) — but going for a 10AM Senate Intelligence Committee hearing is a whole nother level. That’s degenerate except since it’s D.C. it’s kind of the opposite of degenerate. It’s being in tune. Up to date. It means you care, and according to my trusty source (Nate), this isn’t uncommon in D.C. They do this for all sorts of political stuff.

So I’m curious: Do they go nuts during big moments? Comey drops a “and then President Trump touched my leg” and the whole place goes fucking WILD!? Bartenders hanging from the ceiling pouring the whole bar a round? Gotta be a weird ass scene. Might have to go to this. I do love five dollar Russian vodka flavors.
