On February 19, 2011, I took a large party to Babe's for an engagement party. The owners, Anthony & John were rude to our party of 30 people. We decided to leave and were heckled by Anthony and an off-duty Middleburg Hts. police officer that was moon-lighting as security.
Our disruption was one of our guest went outside in the snow to smoke. After finishing her cigarette, she didn't exhale all the smoke outside and was entering back inside when the off-duty police officer told her she is not allowed back inside. It wasn't until several minutes later when another person in our party informed us that she was not allowed in and needed her coat. I informed the owners Anthony & John that if they were not going to let her back inside, our party of 30 people would have to leave. Anthony waved his hand and said "bye-bye"
Anthony and the off-duty officer proceeded to say "don't come back" then the off-duty police officer followed our group several store fronts away from Babe's, while calling his on-duty police officer partner on his cell phone (not thru dispatch) and said "if you come now, you could arrest them down by the Dollar General store".
There intent was to cause harm to my family and friends.
I live 2-blocks away from Babe's and have observed the empty parking lot. I look forward to a new owner and patronizing Babe's once again.
