Waterloo’s last strip club has officially closed its doors permanently, according to the Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier. Flirts Gentlemen’s Club closed in October after struggling with court imposed sanctions. Now the signs have been removed from the building. Flirts first opened in May of 1997 in the same location previously occupied by Zodiac Lounge and later Dancers Zodiac. Flirts had become a nuisance in recent years according to the City with law enforcement regularly called to the business for things including fights, stabbings, and shootings. The City successfully imposed reduced hours and limited the hours alcohol could be sold. Those moves are being blamed for or credited with putting Flirts out of business.
