Adult entertainment venues are struggling to stay open as cities including Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, Chamblee and Doraville have changed their laws.

In Sandy Springs, the club Flashers has filed a lawsuit against the city, stating the city unlawfully shut it down while enforcing new ordinances, including one that said adult entertainment venues could not serve alcohol.

“The ordinances were applied because of a distaste for erotic messages offered by a nude dance establishment located on a high-profile corridor of the city,” says the lawsuit. “Flashers seeks damages for claims arising under the First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the federal Constitution.”

Chamblee and Doraville have also prohibited nude dancing and banned alcohol licenses for adult businesses in their jurisdictions.
