Yeah I wonder how these guys are getting around Gretch's order. Most of these places have full menus, and I don't mean the dancers, and the food is usually excellent. I think her rule said "indoor bar service"?? so if they rope off their bars, only use the tables (space apart) and everyone wears masks can they stay open?
Just talked to a dancer who works at BTs Dearborn. They're still open and so is VIP. They're open because they're using the restaurant designation and the bar area is closed. But you can still order alcoholic drinks
Update dancers actually can get on stage but pantie bottoms and they can't go topless. But most just choose to mingle with custies. One would assume if BTs is doing it so is FC
Both places have decent food. FC actually had very good food, but it’s gone downhill a bit over last year when they changed cook and menu. I’m not a big drinker personally. If they have a food minimum and don’t pester me about buying drinks, I’d be perfectly fine with that
FC, BT's, Criket, TLS........ I have eaten at all of these places and I would not call any of it "bad". Average at times but, overall pretty good. Just get the customers to cooperate; jack up the food prices a bit and your good. Sell a $100 "Kobe" beef hamburger with a side of extra sauce in the VIP.
The three clubs open my Detroit dancer friends are talking about on Facebook: FC, Trumpp's, and BT's. Trumpps either is already open or doing so soon. Functioning as restaurants and bikini bars.
I thought the stipulation was CLOSED if over 70% of income derives from alcohol. This would provide interesting creative ways around the book-keeping to alter the figures.
oops - i just realized someone already posted a link to the story about this.
But why there would be a "dress code" for entertainers and restrictions on activities ?
Just found out from Johnny (night shift manager at Bogart’s on Michigan Ave) that Bogart’s is reopening tomorrow (Tuesday July 14th) after being shut down since July 1st at 11PM.

This probably won't last.
Someone TOFTT and check it out???
Thanks LB
That article covers the loophole.
Basically, there is no easy way for LE to calculate what percentage is booze sales.
If BT or FC decides to have a "food minimum " per person..... that would get over the rule also.

So that is wind around the cul de sac!
Bogart’s serves food. I guess H8N is still closed, as they do not serve food.
