Sweet, delicious patriotism

Oh, Independence Day. The namesake of Will Smith’s greatest film. The day when it is sort of okay to light whatever you want on fire. The day it is not abnormal to lose a finger. Truly one of the most glorious days of the year. 

On Capitol Hill, a lot of businesses are closing their doors to revel in the red, white, and blueness of it all. But a lot are keeping their doors open to contribute to the festivities. Here’s a handy-dandy list of businesses in the neighborhood that will be open for the holiday, along with their special hours. We tried to be as comprehensive as possible, but we’re not perfect like America is. If we forgot something, let us know in the comments. And remember that tipping is patriotic.

Have a lovely fourth, Capitol Hill. Try not to hurt yourselves while pursuing your right to life, liberty, and cheap happy hour drinks:
