Bar owners hit with another suit (AP)

Downtown bar owners are facing another legal challenge from a Minneapolis law firm that says they overcharged patrons.

The firm, Lommen, Nelson, Cole & Stageberg, filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday accusing 25 bars near UW- Madison and their trade association of conspiring to inflate drink prices from 1990 until last year. The class-action lawsuit seeks relief for revelers it claims were ripped off.
