Fancier (more expensive) versions of this are country clubs, private clubs of various sorts (fictional example: The Diogenes Club in Sherlock Holmes stories—but these are real things, see also "gentleman's club" when that's not being used as a euphemism for "strip club"), and rich-people service organizations—this latter sort is typically dominated by women.
- trillic 4y agoAnother mention here is Sailing Clubs. There are expensive and cheap Yacht Clubs. Many smaller clubs are entirely volunteer run. Sailing is an awesome social scene that’s surprisingly welcoming to beginners. Obviously there are the New York Yacht Club’s of the world, but also clubs like Chicago Corinthian Yacht Club which has a volunteer-run bar with prices set to just cover costs as well as catered casual food. Membership is under $1000 a year.
