Membership edit
- Were/are these clubs exclusive, membership-based establishments, like British Gentlemen's clubs? glasperlenspiel 04:33, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
No, I think we are talking about upscale bars that straddle between being proper restaurants (between 5-11pm) and night (dance) clubs (11-2am) Esptoronto 14:30, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
No, supper clubs were not membership-based. They were "destinations" where families would go for drinks, dinner, and often--although not always--after dinner entertainment. Garlicskid (talk) 15:14, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Many supper clubs in the Midwest did have membership, but they were open to the public. The memberships provided a "subscription" of so many meals per year. Subscriptions were sold prior to the opening of the club, as a funding mechanism to have the place built/opened, and ensure there was sufficient demand in the mostly semi-rural locations.Gaijin42 (talk) 14:53, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
Globalize edit
This article is ridiculously biased. Makes supper clubs sound like a uniquely midwestern thing. There are supper clubs all over the world. In Montreal for example Supper clubs tend to be trendy restaurants that offer some sort of entertainment during dinner and then turn into a trendy night club after dinner. The food served is usually haute-cuisine, not po-dunky American food like this article is saying... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.71.231.180 (talk) 18:58, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
- I don't know if this is a problem, but it probably isn't an NPOV issue. I'll replace {{POV}} with {{globalize/USA}}. Note also that I've changed the section heading (from "Really biased") here on the talk page so the template will link to this section. PhageRules1 (talk) 23:57, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- Ha ha nice to see unbiased language like 'po-dunky American'--nice going!71.63.15.156 (talk) 02:07, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
cleanup edit
It is like 3 articles mashed together with multiple Notes sections and external links sections. More work than I can handle. Green Cardamom (talk) 16:01, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
On a second note, I was really confused about the "blogging community" of the 1930's mentioned in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.136.208.58 (talk) 12:02, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
