QUESTION

can a bar owner ban a customer from his establishment without stating a reason?

Asked on Jun 15th, 2012 on Consumer Law - Nevada
More details to this question:
I used to work at a bar, one day I came into work to find a replacement for me and was fired on the spot with no reason stated...nevada is a right to work state. The policy of the bar is a three month "cooling off" period for fired employees. It has been six months and the owner still will not allow me to enter the bar. When I asked for a reason for the refusal of service he would not give me a reason, he wouldn''t even have a conversation with me. I was a good employee and patron for a very long time and can''t think of a single reason for his not allowing me in his establishment. Is he legally allowed to ban me from his place of business without stating a reason?

The bar can refuse service to any patron for no reason at all; however the bar may be barred from refusing service and public accommodations to patrons for prohibited reasons which involve prohibited forms discrimination.  Based upon the former employment status and probable discomfort which the owner has with you being on site, the owner is free to bar you from his private property.
