Fulton wins ruling in effort to ban alcohol at strip clubs
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fulton County has presented ample evidence to justify an ordinance banning the sale, possession and consumption of alcohol at adult entertainment clubs, the federal appeals court in Atlanta ruled Tuesday.
But the ruling does not mean the taps must be turned off just yet at the three strip clubs — Babes, Fannies and Riley’s — in unincorporated Fulton. If the decision is not appealed, the case goes back to a federal judge who must still rule on other remaining challenges to the county ordinance.

The evidence, the ruling said, “certainly creates a vivid image of a county in which strip clubs that served alcohol played a prominent and unwelcome role. Sex and drug crimes occurred in and around the clubs and the neighborhood’s cheap hotels, and required law enforcement and the judiciary [the juvenile court, at least] to invest resources in combating the secondary effects.”
