I'm a member of the most exclusive private social club I know of. In fact, I'm the only member and we meet regularly at My House.

Cool, can I join?

Seriously how "exclusive" is a club that has franchises all over the place. Short answer -not very. You will never hear about the truly exclusive clubs and they like it that way.

Truly exclusive clubs like The Princeton Club for example, are defaulting on loans and going out of business. Yale, Penn and many Ivy Alum Clubs are losing members to clubs like Zero Bond & Soho House. With "cheaper" memberships, and 100,000 on the wait list These clubs offer appeal & access Legacy clubs just can't compete with. Some of the Ivy clubs now have to offer reciprocal memberships and even access to non alums by vouching members.

You didn’t used to have to be rich to join soho house but you had to have some sort of art or creative affiliation. My friend had a membership so I went one day to the one in Miami Beach. You weren’t allowed to take pics at the restaurant, and they had a cute little movie theater. Other then that, just go to the four seasons if you need luxury

lol. exactly. these clubs are just trying to make money out of the public this marketing is just part of their agenda

Their PR team is working over time. They are facing investigations from their public offerings and looking to go private and then boom… CBS news coverage 😂

Interesting. I just got back from working out at the SoHo House gym. We’re there several days or nights a week and is where we hold most of our creative meetings. When we travel we use the Houses in those cities. It’s great. Typical country clubs are too stuffy for us and we aren’t golfers.

not as expensive as I thought

If it’s similar to a country club model, there’s an initiation fee, monthly fee, and a minimum spend per month

This looks great! We'll be checking into it.

These types of clubs have always been around and actually the monthly price is not that much if you live in a city and don't have a car. The price is somewhat equivalent to a car payment so I'd try it out for a year.

Soho House is not that expensive. I remember it was in the 1,500 to 2,000 range BUT you have to be a commercial director or published photographer. I have been there in WH and everyone in there is a musician comedian. You can't just buy yourself in. That is why there is such a long list.

I think the concept is interesting, especially considering the history.... However, I don't want to go somewhere that is inauthentic, fake, and posturing. It'll never, ever be inclusive. Good luck with that.

Inclusivity doesn't have to be universal. There's room for exclusivity too.

I love the lobby of SoHo House in Chicago.

To get away from people...reminds me of the rich parents who have a lot of kids and then get mad when they have to stand in a long line of people at the airport. "Where did all of these people come from!? They can't all be going where we are going!". Imagine how all of the single people feel behind you and your large family. It seems that we are hearing people say "I hate people" more and more and yet some of those same people continue on to have kids. But, they want to stay away from people...

Is this one of those places that I heard about from the movie, Sound of Freedom????

You’re excluded from luxury if you don’t have a lot of money anyway membership or not

Do you get a MO jacket with that?

If i could afford it I would love it. I think social clubs will always exist at some level in society.

so the under 40's that didn't want to go to the bar have essentially started going to a "private" bar. oh ffs. unreal.

Especially that collapsed breast. Maybe spend money fixing that before paying for a club membership.

I am very much a populist but I also like the concept of members only clubs.

Great way to get away from the riff raff

Sounds expensive

The ideal candidate is someone who has a lot of money and can afford all the things we have to offer.

Equinox with a restaurant, basically

The Pandemic really caused the boom in private clubs. The government forced the hand of private business by restricting what patrons could & couldn't do. Lots of places began offering members only style solutions to keep government out of their business.

Im very happy for this rich people.. may god bless them all more more more

These are modern coworkings. A social club would be discreet and require an invitation of a member before paying

Overpriced bars, provide a sense of exclusiveness. Next are the vegan bars. PS: build you own den at your home.

Not pretentious at all right?
