Full List: DC bars and restaurants with 2024 Thanksgiving Day and weekend extended hours
WASHINGTON - The Thanksgiving holiday is officially upon us in the nation's capital, and more than 250 bars have been granted extended hours to celebrate the occasion. Starting Wednesday, those establishments are allowed to stay open and serve alcohol until 4 a.m.
FOX 5's Stephanie Ramirez says that the extended hours are only permitted on special occasions, and this year, bars have also been authorized to operate 24-hours during the holiday period.
Wednesday, often referred to as "Drinksgiving," marks the unofficial "day-before-Thanksgiving" celebration when friends reunite over drinks.
However, there is a downside to this festivity. Today is also known as "Blackout Wednesday," a day notorious for binge-drinking. Authorities are urging people to drink responsibly, to have a plan, and to not get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking. Thanksgiving is one of the deadliest holidays on the roadways, and area police departments are increasing patrols.
Additionally, police remind everyone not to leave valuables in cars to avoid attracting thieves. Ramirez says it’s also best to call the business or restaurant ahead of time to make sure they are extending holiday hours.
