I recently bartended a wedding reception at a venue. The owners of the venue 
were rude and unprofessional and after the event I left what I thought was a 
fair review of the venue and the attitudes of the owners. About 6 days later 
the owner contacts me regarding my review and claims to have proof that I 
served minors. They also state that they were going to let it go but since 
they found my review they are going to contact the authorities about my 
supposed serving of minors. This is a false allegation as I card anyone who 
looks to be under 40 and know I did not serve any minors. Have any of you 
faced something similar? Is there anything I can do? It seems so shady that 
the owners of the venue would threaten something so serious because they were 
unhappy with the review I left. I’ve seen other reviews about them from 
couples getting married at their venue who have mentioned that the owners 
threatened legal action as a result of negative reviews.
