On paper there is no distinction between the two, so I could certainly see “private” clubs all being able to allow smoking indoors if [insert name] Country Club can in their 19th Hole.

The private clubs mentioned in the ordinance are things like Country clubs.

When you see a bar listed as a private club it has everythign to do with alchohol laws. A regular bar must derive a certain percentage of revenue from food sales and this is enforced by submitting receipts.

A dance club like this does not usually serve much if any food, so under NC law they are a private club and that requires a membership, which can be free IIRC, but you have to wait at least a day after joining to actually go, if everyone follows the law.

It is all part of our nanny state liquor laws.

Big signs like old gas station and oil signs. It might have been a garage and some persons’ private sign collection. Although most of these clubs don’t start up until late, I wonder how the Pit and Humble Pie feel about Thump music so close. To be honest, Mosquitos is very close but not as close as this place.

I can’t remember what was in this space before – anyone know?
