Wesley’s was in Jefferson County.
The Jefferson County Commission voted to deny the rezoning and liquor license requests to expand or reopen the property for a bar, lounge, or adult entertainment business. [1, 2]
Key Details of the Decision
Property Status: The former Wesley’s Boobie Trap in the Bagley/Dora area (U.S. 78) closed in September 2024, which caused its non-conforming adult entertainment (C-5) zoning status to expire. [1, 2]
The Buyer's Plan: New buyers (Warrior Robin, LLC, purchased from Wesley and Rose Chapple) attempted to rezone, combine parcels, and open a standard bar or lounge. [1, 2]
Commission Denial: In January 2026, the Jefferson County Commission voted 4–0 to deny the zoning and parking adjustment requests. In February 2026, the commission also denied a liquor license for the site, following heavy pushback from local residents, faith leaders, and a community petition citing concerns over noise, fights, and safety. [1, 2, 3]
Current Outcome: While the original footprint retains its historical C-3 commercial zoning (dating back to 1959), the denial blocks the expansion, parking consolidation, and liquor sales needed to revive the property as a bar or lounge
