Venue apologizes after beer sign jokes about domestic violence

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.

The venue posted a statement to its Facebook page on Friday.

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.
