Planet Rock Has License Renewed
The Barre city council has renewed the business license of the Planet Rock gentlemen’s club despite earlier allegations of inappropriate touching of a dancer by a patron. The city council had originally refused to reinstate the license of Vermont’s only strip club citing the one prior allegation of a customer placing his head between a dancer’s breasts.
The new license prohibits “lewd physical contact” between dancers and customers. The owner of the strip club, Daniel Garr, is currently suing the city claiming that the contact and three-foot rules are unconstitutional. A superior court judge recently rejected Garr’s request that restrictions on distance and contact be lifted.
