NUDE, Male Restaurant Must Admit Women Court Says

NEW ORLEANS -- A brewski in the buff doesn't justify an all male bar.

The Louisiana Supreme Court has ruled a Shreveport country club must let women into its sit-down restaurant and bar.

The Southern Trace Country Club has three restaurants, but only the Men's Grille is open on Sundays. Women were barred from the grill.

The court rejected claims that members sometimes dine there in the nude.

Witnesses said some of the male patrons would only wear a towel or even less in the bar. The court ruled barring women from a public dining area is unconstitutional, even if there's a locker room-like atmosphere.
