Help John: "My buddy, with an expired license, is visiting DC this weekend. He wants to go to a bar for NFL games. What bars are cool with that?"

Nellies and sit in Lindsey's section. (according to my assistant mackenzie who also works there, name drop if you need to).
Probably Bourbon too, they have no structure or rules there.

If you get there early enough, CPBG is pretty relaxed about it. Could just be my experience though, since I haven't been carded anywhere in about four years. I'm old.

There are lots of bars that will have the games up and going. I would go to Nellies -- as previsously suggested. Just keep in mind that it is gay centric, but all types hang out there. The other thing for him to consider if he has a team he's routing for. There are certain bars that attract folks routing for certain teams.

Commonwealth is worth a try.

Remember to tell your friend it is no pants day on Sunday: http://www.citystream.com/2011/01/dc-in-the-know-annual-no-pants-metro-ride-robe-lowe-at-cashions-more-news.html

Maybe he could just say he left it in his pants?

Having been that person before, I'd suggest going to a street with lots of bars. If you get denied at one, there's going to be one that doesn't card you.

Passports are acceptable.

They check expirations?

Hotel bars usually don't card.

John said...

thanks all, and who is that ugly dude in the photo

Oh, and yes they do in DC. A coworker who looks about 50 was once denied access to Tom Toms for having an expired one so he tossed the bouncer's stool into the street
