Michigan Club Rules

Longball300

I'll sleep when I'm Dead...😈

I dug up some info on how the Michigan clubs are staying open as "restaurants" I guess w/o topless dancers on the stage. It was tacked onto a Flight Club review but, turned into a mini-discussion that I thought might be useful to mongers from the area or those traveling there.

"Here are two articles explaining the MI rules from Big Gretch; somehow these places are operating as restaurants?"

From #4 in the "Executive Order" first article:

Dance and topless activity permits issued under subsections 2 or 3 of section 916 of
the Michigan Liquor Control Code, 1998 PA 58, as amended, MCL 436.1916(2) and
(3), are temporarily suspended. Combination dance–entertainment permits and
topless activity–entertainment permits issued under subsection 4 of section 916 of
the Michigan Liquor Control Code, MCL 436.1916(4), are suspended to the extent
they allow dancing and topless activity, but remain valid to the extent they allow
other entertainment.
