Not that I'm disagreeing, but for an argument like that to be
convincing, you have to explain what makes it unique. *Everything* is
unique. We could just as easily say that rugby clubs are different
from cricket clubs, so they need special tags. And then, rugby union
clubs are different from league ones. And for that matter, QLD ones
really are distinct from NSW ones....

I'm satisfied that a "licensed_club":
- is a venue where members, their guests, and some members of the public can go
- has a restaurant and bar
- often has pokies
- is affiliated with a non-profit organisation such as a sports club,
the RSL etc.

For these reasons it is clearly not just a "pub", "bar" or "restaurant".

>Anyone have a preference for a particular reason?

Because "licensed" implies alcohol. And "registered" implies very
little. To the casual reader, anyway.
