17 Restaurants Offering Discounts to Furloughed Federal Employees

With the longest government shutdown in US history in effect, federal employees across the country have been without pay or furloughed.

As a result, several local bars and restaurants are offering discounts for affected federal employees.

Here’s the list; let us know if you find another location to add to the list.
