WASHINGTON, DC (WJLA/CNN) - People love to attend viewing parties for their favorite television shows or sporting events, but a senate hearing?
Shaw's Tavern in Washington, D.C. will hold a covfefe party Thursday morning.
Covfefe is from one of President Trump's less than coherent tweets.
The party is to watch former FBI Director James Comey testify before a senate intelligence committee.
General manager Rob Heim said it all started with a question.
"I was visiting my mom in Florida and a promotion came up for the hearing and my mother said who would watch that? And I said in D.C. a lot of people would watch that," Heim said.
Heim got an idea, put it on Facebook and within hours received a flood of responses.
"There were like 300 people interested, which is a lot for us," Heim said.
The number just keeps growing. So Shaw's Tavern is putting some special FBI items on the menu.
"Fried chicken breast, bacon on iceberg lettuce and we are doing an FBI breakfast. French toast, bacon and ice cream on top," Heim said.
So why so much interest in the Comey hearing?
Keep in mind D.C. is a deep blue town and some there made it clear what they want to come from Comey's testimony.
Heim said he didn't concoct any special FBI themed drinks.
But he will be running $5 specials on vodka from where else? Russia.
