| - Didn't even get in the door. One of the two police officers said one of the 15 people with us stumbled (carrousel door) in so we weren't allowed to have dinner. The door had mechanical problems making it difficult to enter the bar. I stood outside and watched as two other patrons attempted to enter the bar through the carrousel doors. They too were greeted with a broken door and some stumbling. They were younger girls so of course the chubby officer overlooked the fact that they had stumbled in the door as one person from our group did. Cleveland PD. should be proud. This officer saved the Bar owner several hundred dollars because in his opinion someone "stumbled" in the door. It was snowing, but I guess the icy conditions, the wet floor or the broken door had nothing to do with the fact that everyone was stumbling into this place. On the other hand the host and the police officer in training obviously were accepting and understanding. Unfortunately they couldn't overcome Mr. "out of Shape Cleveland Police Officer." Congrats to 4th Street for allowing CLEVELAND police officers to dictate their business. Might as well close your doors now.
MANAGER RESPONSE: Mike, thank you for taking the time to tell me about your experience. At the Corner alley we take safety very seriously both for our staff and our guests. And unfortunately sometimes this means protecting a guest from themselves when they may have been over served on a fun night out. This is why we employ a Cleveland police office to help us card and check guests at the door. We also took great precautions to get a professional who knows what they are doing, which is why the officer in question is a 20 year veteran of the force and decorated office in the city of Cleveland.
We never want to alienate a guest but we do have to be a responsible vendor, I apologize that you were not able to join us that night but we stand by the decisions of the officer. I hope you will understand and join us again. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to answer your concerns.
Let's talk about what happened after I saw the other 2 patrons enter and stumble without any problems. I asked him why the other patrons were allowed into the building after knocking the door off the hinges and stumbling in. Of course that pissed him off. He followed me out the door looking for and chasing an argument. I am a retired veteran and this guy thought he was talking to a drunk chump. Typical of a guy with a BIG HEAD in uniform. He threatened to arrest me for public intoxication after carding me and allowing me into your restaurant. He truly did not believe I was a hazard to myself because I wasn't the one who stumbled in. But yet he made his threats. It is guys like him that should be placed under the radar for covering up their short comings. Most police officers do their job and do it well, This guy was the stereotypical butthole. I have met many police officers in Cleveland, this guy is not anywhere near the top and that is a fact.
MY RESPONSE: I find your comments to be appalling Michael G. Who in the hell would allow a guy like you to manage anything associated with their business. First, you claim to take safety "very seriously." With a broken door and wet floors? Don't worry OSHA has been notified of this violation. Second, "protecting guests who have been over served" nice assumption jackass. Third, and I will only address this because you stated "the officer in question is a 20 year veteran of the force." So what, this officer is not exactly a poster child for the Cleveland PD. He is a fat guy who can't even do his job properly. Why have a host if you are going to employ a fat, out of shape police officer who is a safety hazard to himself? As far as this guys service to Cleveland, He is lucky to have a job, he should have been fired for being overweight. He isn't highly decorated as you might suggest (his rank is a joke for 20 years) and should spend more time at the local gym instead of your restaurant. Have fun closing that place down Michael G
