Oh the mind just REELS with the various jokes that come to mind...

So, you can get a class 5 license (I suppose that must close at 2am) and have a standard bar, a nekkid entertainment venue or a so-called "hostess bar", but to stay open until 4am, you have to have have a class 11 license and fire all your nekkid entertainers.

Interesting. Foolish, but interesting.

If it were up to me, I'd lump all the things that could potentially irritate the neighbors (hostess bar, nekked entertainment and staying open until 4am) into one license class that was REALLY hard to get and put everyone else running a bar into another class that covered dance bars/clubs and most things you associate with a bar and that closed at 2am.

Oh, and that expanded 4am/nekkid/hostess bar would allow smoking indoors. I mean, the risk is relatively low. The patrons would probably be at higher risk from something transmittable and communicable then they would be from smoke. <get your minds out of the gutter; the gutter is full -- oh, OK then, I'll move over>

The highest risk job would be cleaning up after closing at such a place. OSHA would probably shut them down or at least require bio-hazard suits. I know I'd be scrubbing my entire body with Lysol.
