The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is investigating possible liquor contamination at Bedrock Tavern, 12215 Grant Road in Cypress. Samples from several bottles were sent to state and private labs for testing.
Concerns started on October 5, when several customers became sick after drinking from the same bottle. Bedrock Tavern immediately removed the bottle and conducted an internal review. "We reviewed the cameras for that entire shift to see if said bottle had been tampered with or if any customer drinks were contaminated and found nothing out of the ordinary," the tavern said, according to Click2Houston. Tests on the bottle later showed a positive result, but the specific details were not shared.
Several people became sick after visiting Bedrock Tavern on October 7, leading to hospital visits. The bar owner said, "We want to protect the people that go into our bar." The tavern contacted its liquor distributor and the authorities, and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission described it as an "isolated incident involving a single licensed location," as reported by ABC13. The bar has been in contact with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, who are waiting on lab results. Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agents recently met with the bar’s manager for over an hour. Details about symptoms or suspected contaminants have not been released.
