A Baltimore Strip Club Was Approved For a Liquor License After They Submitted Their Application, Complete With This Floor Plan
Baltimore - Some oddities caught the eye of the Community Law Center’s Booze Newsblogger at last week’s meeting – among them the fact that a 21-year-old is to manage the Pole Play Lounge, a new strip club coming to Baltimore’s red light district, The Block. The board unanimously approved the transfer of the tavern and adult entertainment license sought for the establishment at 417 East Baltimore Street, the site of the former Oasis nightclub.
According to Booze News’ Rebecca Lundberg Witt, plenty was missing from their application:
Business name: None provided in the docket.
Corporate entity in good standing: None provided.
Location of entity’s principal office: None provided.
Floor plan submitted: Witt included a shot she took of the map, done in childlike scrawl. See above.
One thing that was included in the application: the manager’s age. The manager “was born in 1994, according to the application, which makes her 21 years old,” Witt wrote. Pole Play’s attorney, Melvin J. Kodenski, said that the manager was well-qualified, noting she has worked in adult entertainment at other clubs in Baltimore for four years.

I can’t decide what my favorite part is- the strip club floorplan sketch, or the fact that the board unanimously approved the liquor and adult entertainment licenses. The strip club basically did what you used to do in 7th grade when you didn’t do your math homework, so you just copied down the problems and wrote random numbers and hoped the teacher was too lazy to actually look at it…AND IT WORKED!
And as it turns out, it is really that easy to get a liquor license in Baltimore. Did they provide a name on the application? Nah. Did the provide an address? Nah. But did they scribble a rectangle on a napkin? Yep. APPROVED.
Also love that the manager was born in 1994. Love it. In my eyes nobody in 1994 knows how to tie their shoes or wipe their own ass, nevermind run and operate a business…but OH NEVERMIND, she’s been a stripper for 4 years, it’s all good. Pole’s Play is already the best strip club ever.
