there is another term "registered clubs" which appears to be the legal term in 
NSW

"registered club" means a club that holds a club licence.

"club licence" means a club licence granted under the Liquor Act 2007 . 

clubsqld.com.au uses both terms "Clubs Queensland is the peak industry body 
representing registered and licensed clubs in Queensland.....The organisation, 
and those working within it, proudly represents the interests of community 
clubs throughout the State including sporting clubs (bowls, golf, rugby 
league, etc), RSL and ex-services clubs, surf lifesaving clubs, workers, 
business, ethnic, and other community clubs.  "

I favour licenced_club because of the word association with "liquor licence"
and I am looking for another tag to replace amenity=pub that I have been using 
and isn't the best descriptor
