Wise Guys bar on Harper in Clinton Township is the worst place in Clinton Township to feel safe if you want that corner bar experience in Macomb County. Wise Guys is a family owned place with some excellent staff, but the haphazard approach to hiring family and friends and friends of friends has led to a sense of freedom to be aggressive by bartenders which assume they can behave without any sort of negative consequences.
The Garfield location is generally staffed by family and long time employees that understand that restaurants and bars, especially in this touch economy, are about establishing a great environment with the locals and making every patron feel special. It works, that location is one of the exceptional bar/restaurtants in a county that is dealing with punishing effects of the faltering economy. Enter the Harper and Metro Parkway extension of Wise Guys. It is, for the most part, staffed by some trusted employees of the home location, but for some reason, there is an element of the staff that was hired without proper vetting
It won't take long to figure out when the people hired by someone else, or a friend, or a black sheep of the family arrive. This is sometimes after supper on the weekends. You have just walked into their family room, and forget that you are a customer... they are in charge, and they will violently let you know that fact.
These are unqualified employees that are friends or family of someone. They will be nice for the most part, but if you dont' agree with them on any particular topic they will threaten you. Short hair and clean cut appearance are just deceptions. They are in their own basement in their minds and the customer is always wrong... unless you are an attractive woman or a pretty member of the waitstaff.
Their threats are real- you will be beaten if you speak out.
