key club
Exclusive after-hours venue
A key club is a private establishment—typically a bar, nightclub, or social venue—where members carry keys or cards granting access.
The exclusivity creates cachet and allows the venue to operate outside normal licensing restrictions.
Key clubs flourished mid-twentieth century as a way around liquor laws.
Separately, Key Club is a high school service organization sponsored by Kiwanis International.
