ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The Alaska Alcoholic Beverage Control Board has revoked the liquor license of a strip club operating on a boat outside the city of Kodiak.
Kodiak resident Darren Byler says he plans to appeal the unanimous decision Monday regarding his 120-foot floating business, Wild Alaskan.
Alaska Dispatch News reports the issue considered was the "common carrier" license, which allows the sale of alcohol on vehicles involved in transporting passengers or freight.
ABC board director Cynthia Franklin says Kodiak bar owners alleged an unfair advantage for the business. Franklin asked the board to consider a situation where a boat is put in one place instead of moving around.
Byler says he was planning to conduct sightseeing tours in the spring. He says anchoring the boat does not eliminate its vessel status.
