A popular sports bar in Adams Morgan can now call itself a sportsbook — something no other typical sports bar in the country can do.
Grand Central, a longtime sports bar on 18th Street in Northwest, received the District’s first Class B sports betting license and started taking bets Monday morning.
The bar unveiled a couple of kiosks and its new ticketing window, where you can place a wager or, if you’re lucky, cash in your winnings. Yes, only cash right now. An associated mobile app isn’t going to be up and running until next year.
But while other venues already have kiosks up and running around the city, those are all affiliated with the D.C. Lottery’s sports betting program.
