Description

The plaintiff, appealing from the grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendant, the City of Milwaukee, argues that the Citys refusal to renew the plaintiffs liquor license violated the free speech clause of the First Amendment. The plaintiff had bought a tavern in Milwaukee that entertained its patrons with polkas. It obtained a liquor license and shortly afterward changed the name of the tavern from Blue Canary to Runway 94 and applied for and received a "cabaret license," which permits a tavern to provide entertainment in the form of dancing by performers. On the application form the plaintiffs manager checked "floor shows" rather than "exotic dancers/male and/or female strippers," and at a hearing on the application she explained that she wanted to put on "Las Vegas style" nightclub acts. But instead, after receiving the cabaret license, the tavern put on shows in which the performers danced in only pasties and bikini bottoms, which the licensing authority believed constituted "exotic dancing" rather than "Las Vegas style" dancing even though the dancers did not strip on stage but merely appeared, as it were, fully unclothed down to the pasties and bikini bottoms. The plaintiff reluctantly applied for a supplementary license to permit "exotic dancing." This was denied, but the tavern continued to exhibit "exotic dancing" in the form described, with some weird touches, such as dancers who sucked on their breasts while hanging upside down. The erotic character of the entertainment was not concealed. One dancer allowed a customer to slip money between her breasts. Another acknowledged that she tried to "turn guys on" in order to get tips. Others simulated intercourse.
