The Austin Police Department just released a list of the top ten bars in Austin where patrons leave only to get DWI charges filed against them. They are as follows:
1. Oilcan Harry’s
2. Sherlock’s Pub
3. Rain
4. The Belmont
5. Union Park
6. The Yellow Rose
7. Antone’s
8. Fado
9. Cedar Street
10. The Whiskey Bar
The report, which is a compilation of data from 2007, should be of particular importance to alcohol establishments regardless of location. Police departments nationwide are beginning to track and publish these statistics, putting a potential blemish on the reputations of many establishments. In addition, these types of statistics are often used as ammunition by lawyers filing suit against establishments on behalf of accident victims and even those who receive DWI citations. Not to mention that it’s hard enough for a bar owner to get a liquor license renewal without any added complications. “These are all reasons why an alcohol server course could be given to employees as not only an initial certification, but as a refresher,” says Joy Sisson, Business Unit Manager for learn2serve.com. “It’s the ammunition for establishments to use in combating the inherent adversities that encompass the bar business, and it may even offer some insurance relief.”
