Three bars in Washington, DC, and one in Houston, Texas, are opening early on Thursday to screen Comey's testimony, which is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST.
"Come on... you know you want to watch the drama unfold this Thursday," Shaw's Tavern, which will be serving $5 Stoli vodka and "FBI" sandwiches, wrote on Facebook. "Grab your friends, grab a drink and let's COVFEFE!"
Responses on social media ranged from excitement to eye-rolling:
At Thursday's hearing, the ex-FBI director is expected to ake his first public comments since he was fired by President Trump, with no warning, in May.
