Washington Twp. tavern rewards patrons who don’t drive home

A Washinton Twp. tavern poised to celebrate its first birthday was singled out for praise yesterday from a BuzzFeed columnist for a coupon that rewards patrons who don’t drive home and who instead leave their cars parked in the bar’s parking lot overnight.

Mack's Tavern at 381 Miamisburg-Centerville Road was #12 in Buzzfeed staff writer Jessica Misener's online article entitled "27 Actually Good Ideas."

A small coupon good for “$5 off your tab for being responsible” that Mack’s puts on the windshield of cars left in the parking lot after closing time reads, “We want to thank you for not driving home tonight and being a good responsible drinker. So here is a coupon for you to use the next time you come in. Again, thank you very much, we appreciate your business, please come back soon and have another good time!!!”

This is actually the second time that Buzzfeed has recognized the Centerville pub for its policy, and this shout-out comes just as Mack's is celebrating its first birthday this Friday, tavern founder and owner MacKenzie Manley said.

The celebrate the anniversary, Mack’s Tavern will have food specials and drink specials every day this week, and will host a DJ as well as raffle off prizes this weekend, Manley said.
