Daytona Beach, FL, Strip Club Prepares For Battle
Recently, the US 11th Circuit Court of Appeals refused to grant a Daytona Beach strip club a rehearing in a case in which the court overturned a lower court’s decision ruling that the anti-nudity laws of Daytona Beach, Florida, were unconstitutional. Police are preparing for crackdowns on clubs operating in violation of the ordinance.
Attorneys for Lollipops Gentlemen’s Club, a nude strip club in Daytona Beach, are preparing briefs in hopes that the US Supreme Court will eventually decide to hear their appeal. Other clubs affected by the ordinance are Club Topic, Molly Brown’s, Pink Pony, and Shark Lounge.
The Daytona Beach ordinance prohibits nudity in establishments that sell alcohol or are located within 500 feet of places where alcoholic beverages are sold. In addition, the city ordinance severely restricts where adult oriented businesses can be located.
