There's times i wonder what it would take to start up a chain of "Gentlemen's Clubs" in this day and age. Nothing like a titty bar or Playboy club, more along the lines of a Victorian-era gathering place where men could get away from the outside to go to sit and think, have a decent drink, get a good meal, read a book, have a smoke, or shoot the shit and do business with one another, without the meddling influence of women getting in the way.

Granted, I'm sure some women's group would pitch a bitch about the membership restrictions, but so long as it was maintained as a private club that only admits members, Constitutional right of freedom of association would allow us to tell them to go pound sand.

EDIT: And yes, I'm aware of the Elks, Moose, Masons, and other groups that have long since been in existence. I'm talking about something new that isn't just a watering hole for the local townies that occasionally do fundraisers for the local school or the like.
