Defining the Standard of Care in Private Club Alcohol Service
Private membership venues present unique liability challenges, often blurring the line between social hosting and commercial service. We provide authoritative analysis on whether a club’s alcohol service protocols—from self-service “honor bars” to formal dining—met the accepted standard of care. Our review determines if the club prioritized member status over public safety, ignored visible intoxication cues, or failed to enforce the cut-off procedures mandated by their own bylaws.
- Forensic analysis of intoxication timelines and service logs
- Evaluation of "VIP" pressure and staff coercion
- Review of server training (TIPS/ServSafe) and compliance
- Assessment of internal policy vs. actual practice
