Club Onyx had a temporary injunction to reopen last week and be classified as a restaurant. Under those rules, they had to have at most 25% capacity, and serve food primarily instead of alcohol. They were allowed to have dancers, but they had to wear masks and social distance. That meant a six foot barrier around the stage and no lap dances.
The club got a permanent ruling yesterday. The ruling is that they can stay open but only as a restaurant. There can be no dancers, even clothed ones. It remains to be seen if the club will choose to stay open. This effectively closes a loophole that other clubs may have been looking to exploit.
