The D.C. City Council passed legislation today that allows bars to open as early as 7 a.m. throughout the World Cup. This year the series takes place in South Africa, which is six hours ahead of D.C., so some games will begin at 7:30 a.m. our time. The legislation allows bars to register with the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration and pay a flat fee so that they can open at 7 a.m. from June 11 to July 11, but liquor serving hours will remain unchanged.
