DescriptionA former bartender has sued an Austin bar, saying she was fired for refusing to serve a Texas state senator because she thought he was drunk.

Rebekah L. Lear said she lost her job at the Cloak Room at 1300 Colorado St. in March for refusing to serve a second scotch to Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, according to the lawsuit. He also threatened to have her fired, the lawsuit says.

Her manager later told her that "we never refuse the senators," according to a conversation that was recorded, the lawsuit says.
