And I thought Virginia was strict on strip clubs...

Here's a link to the "Rules and Regulations" Handbook from the Baltimore County Board of Liquor License Commissioners:
http://resources.baltimorecountymd.gov/D…
Applicable section is " RULE 2 - PROHIBITED PRACTICES." CliffsNotes version - basically all the fun stuff is prohibited.
Checking out the Liquor Board website, I saw that a couple of my usual haunts have been cited for violations of the aforementioned "Rule 2", and have had to appear before the Board or have a hearing coming up. (Which explains a lot about the mileage available there recently).
The fines the board can levy appear inconsequential ($500-$1000), but the real threat is the board could suspend or revoke the liquor license. That would be the kiss of death for these clubs, since they are really just neighborhood bars with strippers.
Of course, the BYOB clubs in the county are not bound by these rules, so they can be a lot looser.

McDougall's (in Baltimore) is BYOB and full nude, but the dances are done on stackable chairs opposite the pool tables. For $30 you get a naked honey on your lap you can't touch and the crew of guys playing pool get to watch free of charge.
