The bar accused of serving alcohol to the Cornell student who says she was later drugged and gang-raped by seven Cornell fraternity brothers is firing back ... saying it never served her a drop because she was under 21.

Moonies tells TMZ in a statement ... it hosted a private Tri Delta event on Oct. 19, 2024, with about 185 guests -- including 35 who were under 21.

According to the lawsuit, Jane Doe had already been drinking at her sorority house before heading to Moonies, then another bar ... and eventually the Chi Phi house, where she claims fraternity members drugged her with ketamine and sexually assaulted her.

Two of the seven Cornell fraternity members accused of drugging and gang-raping a female student are seemingly still enrolled at the Ivy League school ... even after Cornell said its investigation resulted in expulsions and suspensions.

Diego Sarabia, who is also accused, is listed as an alumnus.

The Sun says it could not confirm the academic status of the other four accused men -- Matthew Ingalls, Johnathan Newell, Scott Norris, or Scott Kretzschmar. Their colleges reportedly are listed as "not applicable" in the directory.

Cornell University says the students disciplined over the alleged 2024 Chi Phi gang rape faced far more than essay duty ... revealing some were expelled or suspended following its investigation.

A Cornell spokesperson tells TMZ ... the school conducted a months-long Title IX probe, using temporary suspensions and other restrictions while the allegations were investigated.

She then said she's "fighting to prove my innocence and come home to my babies and the love of my life," referring to her husband, Billy Evans.

The woman accusing seven Cornell fraternity brothers of drugging and gang-raping her claims the alleged attack drove her out of school ... and she says she's terrified the men could retaliate against her if she's identified.

In a sworn statement filed with the court and obtained by TMZ, the Jane Doe says she stopped attending Cornell after the alleged October 2024 assault at the Chi Phi fraternity house.

She says exposing her identity could damage the life she's worked to rebuild, including her career and personal relationships ... and claims the possibility of being publicly named has caused her extreme anxiety, depression and sleepless nights.
