A former customer and one of several witnesses who only wants to be known as LISA M. states an individual known to her through her sister was assaulted leaving the establishment last May 5th 2014 after being set up by the barmaid she knows due to mistaken identity misconceptions and false allegations. A lawsuit is pending.The place has been under investigation and surveillance for the past year. The owner has stated to said persons on a popular social media site, "Nobody cares about you."
In addition to horribly prepared and overpriced "food"....(See Pictures of my visit).
There have been Shootings, Drugs/Drug Dealing, Loud Music, Fights, People assaulted in and out of the place. Loud Rude Crowds loitering outside keeping neighbors awake Someone has been shot at the Leisure (Sleezure) it's time the place was shut down before someone gets killed. This was once a nice quiet neighborhood but the owner took doesn't care what happens. I would like to know why the police don't sit and watch what goes on after midnight. every night loud noise, loud music, people screaming, smashing bottles sitting on neighbors cars. Do not leave when bar closes. This bar is a problem and I don't think the city should wait for a child to be shot by a stray bullet either. Drugs bad. Drug dealers shooting randomly, worse. This owner must be deaf and blind if he doesn't know what's going on. If you are aware of violations on licensed premises
such as sales to minors, after hours sales, drugs, assaults, robberies
loud music,loud and boisterous crowds, drug activity and litter People took matters into their own hands since the law wouldn't do anything at Goodfellas right down the road.

It is the responsibility of the owner/bartender not to serve anyone that appears intoxicated. if the patron can't handle alcohol or behave properly as you put it then no longer serve them. She wants to be a "barmaid" then obey the law.
