[OSM-talk] tag for club missing

[Gert Gremmen]

Do these clubs:  men, cigars, cognac and whisk(e)y 
really want to give up their discretion ?
Aren't they meant to be stealth ?, accessible on membership blindfolded only ?

amenity=club
accessibility=membership, blindfolded

I've been in one of those - "social club" or "gentleman's club" would be more appropiate terms. Also known over here as casinos (with no gambling tables).

The other kind of "club" you'll find in spain is (legally) a hotel or hostel, in the side of a road, with a big, pink neon sign reading "CLUB". And a lot of too-easy-to-pick-up girls inside. I wonder if this is the kind of club you're talking about.


Anyone up for proposing amenity=brothel?


Cheers,
