A sober TikToker says that he was served alcohol at a bar after asking for a nonalcoholic drink four times.
Evan Rugen (@bowerboi) says that when he was at a bar with friends, he asked a server for a nonalcoholic drink.
He says he confirmed with the bartender that his drink would be nonalcoholic and asked the server a second time if his drink was nonalcoholic.
The drink he was served still contained alcohol.
The drink he was served still contained alcohol.“It’s just like full of vodka,” Rugen, who has been sober for 16 months, said of the drink. “My stomach starts to hurt.”
In an interview with the Daily Dot and follow-up TikTok, Rugen said the bar that served him alcohol after he repeatedly asked for a nonalcoholic drink was Goodnight Sonny in New York City.
With regard to his experience at Goodnight Sonny, Rugen said that the servers’ negligence was “very frustrating” and upset him.
“Ridiculously careless and dangerous,” Matt Jacobson wrote in his 1-star Google review of Goodnight Sonny. “Do better.”
