Katie Deering was on a night out at Warrnambool on Saturday when she found the drink at the Your Break pool hall.
The 25-year-old, who recently had an abortion due to health complications, was brought to tears as she recounted the story, realising a photo she had taken that night also showed a drink on the menu called Chernobyl Meltdown.
“I have a close friend who was in Chernobyl when it was evacuated,” she said in reference to the 1986 nuclear disaster in Ukraine.
“You wouldn’t name a drink Genocide.
“Imagine going to Europe and seeing a drink called Adolf Hitler or The Holocaust.
“I don’t know who would go into a bar and think it’s funny to say ‘I’ll have an Abortion’.
“When I saw it I said it was disgusting and the guy behind the bar said it was actually a nice drink.
“I said ‘obviously I’m talking about the name’, but he said if I tried one I wouldn’t think that.
“This was the first place we went to get ready for a big night but when I saw that I just had a knot in my stomach and we ended up going home.”
Your Break owner Neil Swan said it was the first time a customer had complained about drink names since the bar opened in 2009.
“They’re cocktails straight out of the recipe book and that’s their names,” Mr Swan said.
