When President Biden delivers his State of the Union address, Washingtonians can head to Capitol Hill's Fight Club to view the speech and grab some drinks. Fight Club will offer happy hour pricing beginning at 8 PM (ahead of the 9 PM speech) and going all night. Also on deck are drink specials created by bar manager Cory Holzerland for the occasion including:   Blue Wave: Inspired by the Orange Crush, a staple cocktail in the beach towns of Biden's home state. The orange crush-turned-blue features orange vodka, fresh orange, blue curacao, soda water, and sprite. The 15th Time's the Charm: Holzerland's twist on a Tequila Sunrise, which serves as both an homage to Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy's home state of California and a little dig about how long it took for him to get the job. The 15th Time's the Charm is made with tequila blanco, tang, and grenadine.    Reservations for State of the Union-viewing are encouraged and available via Resy. To book parties larger than 5, guests may call the restaurant at (202) 885-9714.
