The Pink Pony, a Cross Lanes strip club unsuccessfully battling to stay in business since 2003, is back in court now.
The bar has been in trouble since record Powerball winner Jack Whittaker allegedly got drugged and was robbed there in 2003.
The Pink Pony maintains it's never actually closed even though it could not serve liquor, but county planning officials didn't buy that.
They've refused to let it operate because it's now too close to another bar to get a liquor license under current county laws.
The club is expected to argue before Judge Carrie Webster that its business license was grandfathered into the system before current restrictions on adult entertainment went into effect.
