DC Venues Support Furloughed Workers with Shutdown Deals
Two popular DC venues, Union Pub and House, are offering special deals to support furloughed federal workers during the ongoing government shutdown. Both establishments aim to lighten the mood and provide some relief to those affected.
Union Pub, situated near the Capitol, has introduced 'shutdown specials' to assist its predominantly government worker clientele. Around 80% of their customers are federal employees, and the pub wants to help them save money during this difficult time. The specials include discounted drinks and food, such as hot dogs for $7 and beers for $3.
House, known for its creative cocktails, has also stepped up with its own shutdown offers. Their 'Budget Blackout-tini', a fun twist on a classic cocktail, is named to acknowledge the shutdown. Additionally, the cafe and bar offers free brewed coffee on weekends and special, low-price cocktail menus during the shutdown.
Both Union Pub and House are committed to helping furloughed workers during the shutdown. With discounted food and drinks, including the unique 'Budget Blackout-tini', these venues provide some much-needed support and a chance to unwind for those affected by the government closure.
