Three French Quarter strip clubs that won a temporary reprieve last week after having their liquor licenses suspended because of alleged prostitution, drug dealing and other offenses were again ordered Wednesday to stop serving alcohol.
Judge Paula Brown, of Orleans Parish Civil District Court, ruled that the state Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control acted within its authority when it suspended the liquor licenses of Centerfolds, Lipstixx and Scores.
Another judge had issued a temporary restraining order halting those closures last week.

Five French Quarter strip clubs have had their liquor licenses suspended after a state investigation uncovered dozens of instances of drug activity, prostitution and “lewd and immoral acts” in the last month alone, authorities said Tuesday.
They said another seven bars and strip clubs could meet the same fate in the coming weeks as part of Operation: Trick or Treat.
“The French Quarter should not be known as a one-stop shopping for criminal activity,” said Troy Hebert, commissioner of the state Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control. “You pretty much walk into these places and you got whatever you needed … marijuana, cocaine, sex.”
Hebert and State Police Col. Mike Edmonson spoke at a news conference Tuesday on the steps of the Louisiana Supreme Court building on Royal Street, just blocks away from the offending clubs and two hours after notices of the suspensions were sent to the owners of Centerfolds, Lipstixx/Fais Deaux Deaux and Scores New Orleans on Bourbon Street and Chez
