A Nudist Bar (Yes, Just a Crazy Idea)

I work in downtown St. Louis. As far I as I know, some male textiles use their lunch hour to go across the river and visit Illinois "nudie bars", where they can gawk at strippers. No, I haven't done it myself. :-) Nor do I intend to.
The point is, if they have their "nudie bars", why can't we have "nudist bars"?
Imagine a nudist-only establishment where patrons can visit for 30-60 minutes, eat, drink and socialize with their fellow nudists. A sauna, a hot tub, maybe even a small pool... A lounge, definitely. Of course, the windows would be draped, and all kinds of warning signs would be posted at the front door. :-)
The good thing is, this establishment could work year round, with no regards for the weather outside.
Legal issues? Well, if nudie bars can function (albeit not in Missouri), and adult bookstores can function as well (again, with draped windows and warning signs), then why not? After all, there would be no lewd activity...
I know I'm probably being overly enthusiastic (as a typical neophyte normall is), but still...

Well, they do have smoking and nonsmoking sections in restaurants already. :-) However, I am afraid the clothed patrons would probably be too indignant about a nude section. :-(
A couple days of week would be more realistic.

from my understanding and i haven't been there yet but key west has a bar where customers can be nude, and its been awhile since i have read about it maybe someone else can fill us in but i can't remember if you can be nude all the time or certain times of week. i will see if i can find that info and post, but sound like a good idea to me.

Lucky Floridians... and they have Haulover Beach, too. :-)

The idea is good, but as someone else said probably unsustainable. Another problem is that a sauna, jaccuzi and steam room would probably not be allowed for safety reasons. If you read up on it there is advice not to use them while under the influence of drink. But the main idea is sound.

Actually, may not be such a crazy idea. In the late 1990's, I came across a website for a nudist bar in Ottawa, Canada. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name (perhaps some of our Canadian members do). It seemed successful at the time, but I do not know if it is still in operation. They had a list of rules to follow, but I don't recall them requiring membership, like a club.
I had a similar idea for a casino for nudists, but that probably would not be practical as you need high volume of customers for a casino to be profitable. And if your busines is not profitable, you are not in business for long. Now a nudist fitness center - might work in the right location.

Well, I sure didn't expect so much support. :-) Thanks.
To tell you the truth, I don't even drink. :-) Now, alcohol and nudity... but does it have to be a bar? Or even a business?
Can it just be an indoor nudist club/hangout? If several hundred local nudists (or at least several dozen) pay a monthly fee, and the club rents several rooms with, say, an indoor pool... yes, food and non-alcoholic drinks would still be served, but it would still be a club rather than a business establishment...
And, of course, rules about no sexual behavior would be very strict.

i agree with the thought of alcohol naked people and some idiots getting out of hand, years ago i belonged to a nudist club that was just starting out and they were pretty liberal when it came to alcohol even with the owners being recovering alcoholics, i think they looked the other way to generate business and dollars as time went on it got out of hand and they kicked the worse offenders out and enforced rules a little better making it a more enjoyable place, it would take a lot of enforcement to make a bar enjoyable to get nude especially for the ladies i think.
