Hey all, Myself and a few other folks in the US have been looking into a way to tag private or membership clubs -- things like the Elks Club, Fraternal Order of Eagles, Veterans of Foreign Wars club (which are sometimes open to the public) and the fancier private clubs (called gentlemen's clubs in the UK) ones that are members-only, or members and their guests -- like the Yale Club, Cosmos Club, and so on in the US, for example. It seems like the wiki is not very clear.
club=* doesn't have anything specific about this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:club and it seems to be more of the place where a meeting of a club happens, rather than a specific type of facility. Taginfo says amenity=social_club only has two uses, but I don't think that's accurate, I've found about 10 uses myself just searching around for the American Legion, another type of these clubs https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/social_club#overview American Legion, a widespread one in the US, is tagged variously as social facility, social centre, bar, social club and others just in a quick search. Social facility is common but seems wrong, as it's more for social services, while these places are more like a bar/restaurant where meetings and events are sometimes held -- but usually not open to the public, unless there's a concert or something. The club members often do charity work as well. To me social_club seems like the best option but there's not agreement on the wiki. What do others think? Andrew
