Sandy Springs can ban the sale of alcohol at strip clubs and other adult establishments within its city limits, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled Monday. Maxim Cabaret, now known as the Coronet Club, first filed a lawsuit against the city a dozen years ago, shortly after Sandy Springs became incorporated. The suit contends the city’s ordinance prohibiting alcohol sales is unconstitutional. But the state Supreme Court, in a decision written by Justice Britt Grant, said such laws can “constitutionally regulate negative secondary effects of strip clubs without unduly inhibiting free speech or expression.” Sandy Springs adopted its ordinance after holding public hearings in late 2005. Council members were told that strip clubs depressed values of nearby properties and increased criminal activity, leading to higher costs for law enforcement and the court system. The city hired private investigators to conduct surveillance of the city’s adult clubs, and they reported seeing prostitution and public lewdness and intoxication. This will affect Flashers, Doll house & Mardi Gras as well as the male strip club.

    No alcohol makes for better clubs with better dancers. But it makes it harder on operators and tends to make for less clubs and less competition. Also, legal crack downs tend to escalate.

    More of the same - more and more cities wanting to get rid of strip-clubs - even if they go BYOB, the city will still most-likely stay on their ass. The only compromise I see is SCs not being in residential areas and mainly being in industrial areas and maybe then the powers to be will stay off their ass.

    Going BYOB usually means a membership club. Much harder for LE to do anything about that. Needn't be any limits really, front room or back room, or with walking a girl right out the front door. SJG TJ HK girl [view link] Robin Trower live [view link]

    Bad trend. That sucks. Don't know any BYOB clubs in Atlanta. Is BYOB even legal around here?

    ^^^^ Almost always it means that the club is claiming itself to be members only, instead of retail. Otherwise BYOB would in most places be illegal. But, they often don't seem to want to tell you that they are a membership club, or that you have become a member. Some of the very best regarded UHM places in the country use this model, as pioneered by swingers clubs. No more law against public sex or lewdness. Only law which applies is the one against prostitution. But under the circumstances, hard to get the public mandate to expend the effort to enforce. SJG

    the adult entertainment industries are usually the first attacked in a good economy. when the bible thumpers are flush with cash, they start pointing fingers at the 'sinners'.

    if any strip club needs a bar it is Flasher's that place is a dive. I actually like it but it would suck without having a bar

    Can't bode well for Oasis and their fight with Dunwoody over their liquor license.
