You can party ‘til the wee hours in DC over the next few nights, but don’t overstay your welcome.

282 establishments are now registered to serve alcohol until 4 a.m. and serve food 24 hours a day during inauguration week, which represents only about 27 percent of the roughly 1,027 bar-restaurant businesses in the city, according to Fred Moosally, interim director of DC's Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA).
