Assaulted by a bartender

This past Saturday night, I went to this bar with a group of friends. We were dancing, ordering champagne and having an excellent time in the Red Room. I went to the bar to order four different drinks for myself and friends. I said my order to the bartender he walked away and continued to serve other customers. When I tried to get their attention to see if he had in fact taken my order or if I had to wait, I was told to wait my turn, with some foul language mixed in. Then the bartender came over to again take my order, and I leaned up on the bar with my arms holding me up and my feet off the floor and again ordered. He then grabbed the back of my neck and my arm and leaned in to say: "Here's a tip, if you want to get a drink, don't order four different f%#&ing ones on a night that is so busy." I told him repeatedly to please let me go, but he didn't until he was finished speaking. He then walked away and refused to serve me.

In all fairness, a manger I spoke to about the incident did address the situation but the bartender was only given a cursory scolding. This was my last time in this nasty bar; the smoke machines and obliviously drunken antics of its patrons only added to the insult of the disdainful behavior of the bartender. I have never been treated so viciously by anyone, especially at a bar in which it is customary to order drinks, and sometimes even a few different ones.
