There is a current movement to end licenses for such places.
Recently, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled cities and states can regulate the clothing, and that court is very liberal. The 3 judge panel ruled the problem is in how the word "bikini" became absurd, and that g-strings and pasties, or even genuine bras and panties. have become owners' idea of "bikinis". If these owners would have kept them as bikinis that covered the servers' bodies, it would have been okay. But they really pushed the envelope, to the point that there has been near nudity.
The owner said she would appeal the regulations, and that means she would ask the entire 9th Circuit to rule on the matter; that's called "en banc". Or she could ask SCOTUS to consider the matter. She'd certainly have Brett Kavanaugh on her side.
