The Opening Ceremony of the 2016 Olympic Games kicks off this Friday, August 5  in Rio de Janeiro, which is basically another excuse for Americans to show their pride and drinking capabilities.

So while you watch people light the Rio Olympic Torch you too can carry a torch, for alcohol that is. With this FamousDC Bar guide, you can enjoy the games on huge flat screen TVs and drinks so good they deserve a medal.

Capitol Hill

Capitol Lounge

  • In case you’re FOMOing from Rio, Capitol Lounge is holding some contests of their own.

Good Stuff Eatery

  • If you can’t make the games in Rio, enjoying a Brazilian burger in DC is the next best thing.

Union Pub

  • Be sure to get there by 5pm for drink deals including $4 rail drinks, $12.50 Bud Light pitchers, and a $5 cocktail.

Downtown

  • With 20 TVs around the venue, you’ll alway have a great view of the games.

Capitol City Brewing Company

  • Not only will they be screening the ceremonies, but we hear a specialty martini could make an appearance as well.
