This bar had a landmark legal battle in 1958, still used as the standard in Philadelphia for many cases against strip clubs attempting to serve alcohol or bars attempting to entertain with naked women.

From the case summary: "The entertainment consisted of various dance routines described as "bumps and grinds" by female entertainers who had removed practically all of their clothing. Article IV of the Liquor Code deals with licenses and regulations. Section 493 ( 47 P. S. § 4-493) provides in pertinent part that it shall be unlawful: "(10) . . . for any licensee, under any circumstances, to permit in any licensed premises any lewd, immoral or improper entertainment, regardless of whether a permit to provide entertainment has been obtained or not."
