This is by far the best avenue to go down. Get you a lawyer who specializes in Third Party Liability and go after the bar he was at. I taught for the Dept. of Alcohol and Gaming for five years and can tell you all kinds of stories about judgements won against bars who didn't due their duty and keep intoxicated patrons from leaving the establishment. This is a no brainer for an attorney to take on a contigency basis as the bars are required to have liquor liability insurance to cover stuff such as this.
Good Luck,
