Bartenders at a West Village hot spot served up discrimination with a liberal twist refusing to serve a customer because he was wearing a Make America Great Again hat, according to a lawsuit.
Greg Piatek, 30, an accountant from Philadelphia, claims he was snubbed and eventually 86d by workers at The Happiest Hour on West 10th Street over his conservative fashion statement, popularized by Donald Trump on the campaign trail, he told The Post.
Anyone who supports Trump or believes what you believe is not welcome here! And you need to leave right now because we wont serve you! Piatek claims he was told as he was shown the door by a manager.
The shake-up started when Piatek and two pals, after a visit to the 9/11 Memorial, ordered drinks at the posh tavern around 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 28.
A female bartender served Piatek a $15 jalapeño margarita and his pals beers. But when he tried to order a second round, a male bartender noticed his hat and skipped them, he said.
One of Piateks pals pointed out it was their turn to be served, but the bartender scoffed. Is that hat a joke? the Manhattan Supreme Court suit claims.

But the bartender didn't offer any such excuse did he? Thus, the existing controversy and the hopefully successful lawsuit.................Sheesh, what's the matter with you?
Get the money !
The definition of visibly intoxicated is left largely to the discretion of the employee who serves the alcohol. ..
nobody doubts that the bar will prevail due to such a flaccid standard as you’ve noted...the point is the double standards that exist, and the willing, shoulder shrugging acceptance of same by some...
and since you’re apparently a legal beagle, perhaps you can enlighten us regarding NY’s anti discrimination laws, and the exact variance from Oregon’s laws that you claim are applicable...
“But the bartender didn’t offer any such excuse did he? Thus, the existing controversy and the hopefully successful lawsuit.................Sheesh, what’s the matter with you?”
While that is the opinion of Mr. Piatek, It does not appear that the bartender has been deposed in this case.
When and if the bartender is deposed, I suspect they will say that Mr. Piatek appeared to be intoxicated.
Mr. Piatek is unlikely to prove, that in the professional opinion of the bartender, he did not appear to be visibly intoxicated.
If we dont have a legal leg to stand on we need to GET ONE. Every freak, pervert, mutant and loser is protected but good, normal Americans are not because we dare to use our first ammendment rights? F that!
Yes. Thank you....
