Michael Musa, Director of Operations at the Rawhide Lounge, told Big Easy magazine the ATC imposed “numerous fines, citations, and imposed regulations on how to operate,” after the city’s 2018 Southern Decadence celebration:Īccording to Musa, when The Rawhide’s lawyer asked the ATC commissioner why the citations issued were harsher than those previously given to New Orleans strip clubs charged with prostitution, the commissioner said that she “felt these violations were worse.” The lawyer then asked if she truly felt that “acts between two consenting males in a restroom” were worse than prostitution.

This week (just one week before Mardi Gras), two prominent New Orleans gay bars, The Phoenix and The Rawhide Lounge, have claimed that the state’s Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) have unfairly singled them out for citations.
