A Las Vegas bar and concert venue is apologizing after an employee put out a sign reading: “I like my beer like I like my violence: domestic.”
On Facebook, a user posted a photo this week of the sign, calling it humorless and tasteless.
The photo was shared with KIRO 7 News reporter Patranya Bhoolsuwan, who recently moved to Seattle from Las Vegas.
With domestic violence such a crisis in NV, this kind of sign at local bar in Vegas is unacceptable. #nojokingmatter pic.twitter.com/qVUSRDWOsm

According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men age 18 and older in the United States have been victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
