In memory of the too real bar known as Zack’s we introduce its replacement at 613 Pennsylvania Ave. SE, the The 18th Amendment, which will be yet another offensive simulacrum. Via David Gelles.
“The upper level will offer a full bar with high-end liquors and about eight beers on draft in an art deco-inspired room. The basement bar — ‘the kind of place where gangsters would have hung out,’ Spore said — will have furniture fashioned from old whiskey boxes, barrels and pews and a small lounge with couches.”
Oh Lord.

The solution, obviously, is to open a bar across the street called the 21st Amendment. And if they give you any trouble threaten to drop the 1 from the name.
