One could make the argument that ‘innocent until proven guilty’ is a standard that the government has to be held to, but a private space like a bar does not necessarily have to be held to. The bar owner can control who comes into their bar–in fact they are required to. The bar owner may find it reasonable to keep out people who may be a risk for other patrons; the bar owner might even face liability if it were shown they knew someone was a risk. [a place that counts as a ‘public accommodation’ can’t discriminate arbitrarily, but they can tell you to leave if you’re a problem]. Admittedly, that means there’s not a particular standard being enforced, the bar owner has to wing it.
