Among those open will be Union Pub, which is offering $7 Impeachment cocktails such as “I Got 99 Problems but Impeachment Ain’t One,” and “ImPEACHment Please…” Other bars, like Hawk ‘n’ Dove on Capitol Hill and Duffy’s Irish Pub, will be offering all-day happy hours, with the latter serving up drinks like “Subpoena Colada” and “James and the Giant Impeachment,” The Hill reports.

This is not the first time D.C. has taken advantage of the political news cycle to peddle cheeky foods.
In early October, a vendor at the Library of Congress was forced to remove an item from its dessert offerings because of its name: the "Peach Mint" crumb cake. And in Nov. 2017, a D.C. bar called The Bird offered $5 “Moscow Mueller” cocktail specials every time former special counsel Robert Mueller indicted an associate of President Donald Trump. (The same bar had previously offered a $4 happy hour special every time Trump fired a White House official, too.)
