History
The first Hard Times Cafe was opened in Old Town Alexandria in 1980 by Jim and Fred Parker. They were also the first sports bar in the DC Area to "grill" their wings. After they've been sauced they throw them on the grill for a minute or two. Locking the flavor in and at the same time making it a bit cleaner to eat.
On September 21, 2011, Hard Times Cafe opened at Washington DC's Verizon Center sports arena, home of the Washington Capitals, Wizards, Mystics, Georgetown Hoyas, concerts and events. Hard Times Cafe now operates two locations on the Verizon Center's lower level concourse -- a permanent stand at section 112 and a portable stand at section 119 -- offering fans a chance to enjoy chili macs, nachos, veggie nachos, chili tots, wings, and chili dogs. Hard Times also has a location at Nationals Park.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The history of literature—take the net result of Tiraboshi, Warton, or Schlegel,—is a sum of a very few ideas, and of very few original tales,—all the rest being variation of these.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
