There are two passions almost all Democrats and Republicans share: complaining and drinking. We were elected by Nixon’s restaurant and bar to introduce opinionated, beer-bellied American citizens to their new haven. We weren’t afraid to use a slightly scandalous tone (see: Watergate), but we chose not to pick on any one political party. The result? Nixon’s became the hub for politicians and reporters alike to indulge in a little MSNBC and unsettle their differences over a pint.
