Like a speakeasy, only less sketchy (and with no leftovers)

So it was late night and I was desperately hungry and as I started meandering around the Capitol my nerd radar went off when I read a sign for a place called 18th Amendment.  Nothing gets me more riled up than the thought of alcohol being banned in the Great Old United States Of America, so when I saw a place named after just that I pulled a U-turn.

Immediately when walking in I was confused by the mix of suited weeknight drinkers, sports fans and the random first date in the corner. But luckily there was a spot right at the bar with my name on it, so I took a seat, ordered a beer and asked the bartender for a sandwich or burger. The sun dried tomato pesto chicken sandwich was definitely not my first thought when I said that, but than again neither was a speak easy (owned by the same guys as Pour House), but filled with suits and sports fans. 

Open late everyday, they have a special late night menu from Thursday-Saturday (which includes pancakes and fried chicken together!)  The most amazing part was when I handed the guy a $20 thinking that should be enough, but than he handed me back a wad of cash and explained that I would need a few more beers before I reached that pricey of a tab. So needless to say I ordered a couple more $2 beers and added 18th Amendment to my list of chill late night spots (that I can afford)
