Strip Club Decision: Bare Yes -- Beer No
Thu Mar 18,10:16 AM ET
The nude dancing will continue at Club Madonna on South Beach, but no one will
be drinking.
Wednesday, the strip club's owner, Leroy Grissitch (pictured), asked city
commissioners for a license to serve alcohol. Some residents were worried mixing
alcohol and nudity would be a dangerous combination.
It was a close call, but commissioners voted 4-3 to keep the club dry. Before
the decision, Grissitch had to face some tough opposition.
"It would be provoking, unleash a whole gang of young men who are sexually
aroused on our streets. We don't think that would be good for Miami Beach," said
Miami Beach resident Morris Sunshine.
"They've accomplished nothing. The club will be presenting nude entertainment.
The customers will be having their drinks and want to drink at the next door
neighbor's. They'll be going in and out on the street and may be a few of them
will be getting drunk going backwards and forwards," said Grissitch.
City law currently bans alcohol at all-nude clubs. This was the third time
Grissitch asked for a liquor license. Chances are good he will try again.
