Police & Firefighters offered gift from Cincinnati Restaurant: “1/2 off with a badge”

Amidst word regarding the budget crisis in the City of Cincinnati, proposed layoffs in the police and fire departments have Mainstay Rock Bar tapping into their holiday spirit.

Mainstay Rock Bar, located in downtown Cincinnati is offering ‘those with a badge’ special solace in the midst of the holiday season- offering free food on Mondays and ½ off food for all police officers and firefighters for the remainder of the year, when they ‘show their badge’. (For those in the industry directly affected with a layoff the discount will be extended for a period of 45 days, starting today.)

“The struggles the firemen are facing hit very close to home for me. My father-in-law, brother-in-law, and other family members are all Kentucky firemen. This is just our (Mainstay’s) way to say we support you,” commented Travis French, Partner at Mainstay.

Cuts in the amounts of $16 million dollars on behalf of the police department and $11 million for the fire department are proposed amidst the budget crises for the City of Cincinnati fiscal 2011 year.

Josh Heuser also a Partner commented, “My wish is that more restaurants will see this as a way to show thanks to these courageous individuals who continually hit the ground running to protect our community.”

Restaurants wishing to participate in ‘1/2 off with a badge’ can post inquiries on the Mainstay Rock Bar Facebook page – a Mainstay representative will follow up accordingly.
