Overview

• Frank Nobiletti filed a federal lawsuit on July 22, 2025, accusing Polo Bar of fostering a toxic culture marked by rampant drug and alcohol use among staff.
• Court papers allege employees regularly mixed cocaine with water in spray bottles for on-duty consumption and that one server sold drugs on the premises.
• Nobiletti names events manager Michael Lewis and international hospitality director Darnell Dodson for inappropriate touching and claims Dodson hired based on attractiveness to pursue sexual relationships.
• The complaint describes a “Rating Game” in which staff rated female patrons by attractiveness and made graphic sexual comments.
• Polo Bar denies all allegations, states it found no merit in its internal review and maintains that Nobiletti’s termination was based on clear evidence of his misconduct.
