City Council Approves Bottling License for Dreamers

PPH:

The City Council voted late Monday night to approve a bottle club license for
the owner of a strip club that the city shut down right after it opened last
month. The council voted 7-0 to approve the license for Dreamers Cabaret on
Warren Avenue, which opened on Sept. 17 and was closed the next day, after
Westbrook's fire inspector cited code violations. A bottle club doesn't sell or
serve alcohol, but patrons are allowed to bring their own.

City Administrator Jerre Bryant said before Monday's meeting that if the council
approved the bottle club license and the proposed ordinance, Ferrante would have
to decide between alcohol and nude dancing in his club.
