Bill would require state licensing of private 'bottle clubs' like Omaha’s new BYOB strip club
LINCOLN — The State Legislature may have a surprise for the operator of a new strip club in central Omaha and others operating private “bottle clubs” in the state.
A little-discussed provision of a bill making its way through the Legislature would require state licensing of private bottle clubs.
That would allow the state, based on recommendations by a city council or county board, to deny licenses to bottle clubs that offer entertainment such as nude dancing.
That could take the shake and shimmy out of Club Omaha, a strip club that opened last month near 72nd and Dodge Streets that allows members to bring their own alcohol.
