15 Bars in DC Open on Christmas Day
It’s mostly quiet around Washington DC on December 25. Most offices are shut down, as employees and workers gather with families and loved-ones for feasts and gifts. Even those who don’t celebrate Christmas often take the day off. Sure, there are the standby Chinese restaurants, who have found a niche in catering to the holiday crowd, but what else is open, should you want to head out a catch a nip?
