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 86’d 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 won’t 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 Piatek’s 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.

I’ve never heard of bars refusing people on dress codes. Then again ‘round these parts. Know what I mean? Think it would have been a better idea to ask the man to take off his hat. In fact, in the old days men took their hats off when they went into buildings.
“No it wasn’t, it was Lakewood Colorado.......do your homework. “
Does this bar in NYC have to adhere to the laws of Lakewood, Colorado?
If not, there is no comparison.
BTW-Sweet Cakes By Melissa is in Oregon.
The guys gonna lose in court. No harm!!
The bar is wrong, but they’re within their rights.
I get the principle, dude, but just walk away and count yourself lucky you didn't spend more.
As I said many times: We are the Jews to the lefts Nazi. Like Tim Allen said, it’s like 1930s Germany. Trump supporters are attacked, spit on, beat up, verbally abused, the left even has their own Kristallnachts smashing up windows, burning cars. And for what? Because we have the audacity to want to prevent terror attacks, create jobs, stop the insanity of open borders, have better education options, better health care and get the hell out of national debt. These LiberaNazis can stick it where the sun don’t shine.
Once again your ignorance is showing, I wasn't referring to "Sweet Cakes"
Try this one, Masterpiece Cake Shop in Lakewood Colorado............I'm sorry, didn't I already mention that?
When you're in over your head in a hole, stop digging.............Sheesh!
Just send in Seal Team 6 with Trump hats on. See how that goes.
Was there a sign outside that said, “No Trump Hats”? I think he may have a case.
You could try yelp?
Again, state laws in Colorado are not applicable in New York.
I am not saying it is correct, just pointing out the double standard. You do agree there is one, correct?
Have you - or anyone - been able to discern the name of this place? It’s there but not legible in the image.
“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.”
That’s where the bar has a problem. Got served the first time but not the second? Arbitrary and capricious application of service standards by an employee? Guarantee the bar has some type of training on when to refuse service, and that political content isn’t covered.
If he was dumb enough to wear a Phillies hat into a NY bar, I’d say he was taking his chances.
Only question I have is where’s the chick who served him the first time and why didn’t he ask for her.
No. They post their crap but don’t have the courage to take criticism.
If I had that "Universal Remote Control", I would teleport that bar and all the snowflakes inside, to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and watch 'em try to explain their presence to the Saudi Police.
is that what you were looking for?
He should have kissed one of his buddies and threatened to sue the bar for being insensitive bigots...
Sure he does! The bar owner has to bake the cake, be run out of business and ordered to pay MAGA-hat 80k!
