A man claiming he was savagely beaten by Buckhead Saloon staffers, who thought he was trying to steal a bottle of tequila he bought from the bartender, has sued the watering hole and 10 unnamed defendants, saying he incurred more than $10,000 in medical bills.

According to the complaint filed in Fulton County State Court, plaintiff Brett Chance was at the bar in June 2017, and was “at all times well-behaved and paid his bill at the end of the evening.”
