He was taken to Tamworth Base Hospital after suffering multiple injuries, including a head laceration.
Liquor and Gaming NSW Director Regulatory Operations, Dimitri Argeres, said the actions of the staff posed a serious safety risk to the patron and is the responsibility of the licensee.
“It is important that licensees and venue managers train their staff and have procedures in place to ensure the responsible service of alcohol,” Argeres said.
“Licensees must ensure their venue operates safely, even when they are not present.
“Apart from breaking the law, the actions of hotel staff in this instance put the patron at risk of significant harm, which led to serious injury.
“As this case shows, venues that fail to abide by RSA requirements can expect to be caught and face significant consequences.”
The licensee has had their license revoked for one year.
The hotel’s liquor license has been transferred to a new licensee since the incident.
