Restaurants offering military discounts to honor those who serve

May 27, 20193 min read

On Memorial Day, the last Monday of every May, we honor and remember those who died while serving in the United States Armed Services.

Some businesses and restaurants extend their gratitude to veterans and actively serving military members by offering discounts. We’ve compiled a list of restaurants who offer their discounts year round.

We have only included the restaurants who have communicated with us regarding their discounts; if you know a restaurant or you are a restaurant who offers military discounts, please tell us the amount and we’ll add you to this list.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
