Late-night brawl forces Frontier to cut hours
October 26Drunken brawls in and around Frontier Restaurant caused the business to end its 24-hour food service on weekends, said Dorothy Rainosek, co-owner of the restaurant. Starting Friday, the Frontier will be closed from 1:30 to 4 a.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It will stay open 24 hours the other days of the week. The restaurant started its 24-hour service in 1991. Rainosek said the crowd that comes in after the Downtown bars close is to blame for the change in hours. "They tend to be drunk and belligerent and disruptive," she said. "You don't want to jeopardize any of your employees or customers." The most recent incident occurred Saturday at about 2:50 a.m., she said. Daniel Suazo, a Frontier employee, said he was working when Saturday's fight started. "They started throwing plates, silverware, salt and pepper shakers and glasses," he said. "One guy got hit in the face."
