Appeals Denied – No Approval of Liquor Licenses
Quietly the city of Brookhaven and several clubs we love have been battling in court. It stems from Brookhaven’s decision to opt out of renewing the liquor license of several clubs once they expire in May including XS, Medusa and Josephine Lounge.

The city stated that a liquor license is a privilege and not a right.

If not, partying past Buckhead will be a thing of the past.
