Man awarded $8M settlement after Las Vegas bar gave him cleaning chemicals instead of beer

In Las Vegas, a jury has awarded special education teacher an $8 million settlement after he was permanently injured from being served cleaning chemicals instead of beer at a casino bar.

On Friday, Lon Enwright’s attorney said his client used to work as a wine steward at Las Vegas Striprestaurants but lost his sense of taste following the injuries sustained at Barleys Casino & Brewing Company in Henderson.

Despite having stomach and esophageal ulcers, Enwrights lawyers said Barleys admitted liability and offered $300,000 in damages.

In the lawsuit, Enwright claims he was sick and convulsing after getting a taste of Honey Blonde ale on tap and being served chemicals usually used to clean beer faucets and lines.
According to his lawyers, the bartenders knew that the beer lines were being cleaned.
