A strip club on Boulder's downtown Pearl Street Mall? Pasties rather than another coffee shop and pastries?
Boulder's Camera broke the story today on page one, reporting that the Nitro Club, an all-nude club, had snuck into an alley location behind Old Chicago, almost completely unnoticed to city officials because it's not serving booze and didn't have to file for a liquor license.
Turns out, Boulder apparently doesn't have many rules on the books regarding strip clubs or other "adult" entertainment, and this new club, although out of sight for most downtown visitors, is sure to brew up a storm of controversy. Nothing like a good debate on morals vs. freedom of speech -- always a touchy or maybe "no touchy" subject.
The club owner was quoted as saying he charges a $10 cover and customers also have to purchase two non-alcoholic drinks, so it's not going to be a cheap date at the Nitro. And here's a real deal. You also can pay $495 for an annual pass and only $45 a month to have your very own private viewing area where you also can bring in your own booze to drink.
Somehow the club is also able to stay open until 4 a.m., no doubt giving CU students one more stop when most places have their last calls just before 2 in the morning.
This will be one of those fun Boulder stories to follow, and just in time for Christmas!
