Tags for Returned and Services League (RSL) Clubs?

Question

I tried searching the wiki and Google with no luck.

They are all over the place where I live there is one for every 1.5 suburbs. Some are called "Suburb1-Suburb2 RSL"

I'm conflicted in what to mark it as, I've been to a fair few; they all offer a TAB, pokies and other gambling, an awesome* bistro and a small bar.

Food is order at the counter pickup when ready.

Would:

name=Faketown RSL
building=yes
food=yes
bar=yes
gambling=yes
amenity=pub

Be a good way of tagging it?

Any help is much appreciated.

*Main reason I visit

Answer 1

In principle the sensible tagging for these is amenity=social_club (291 instances on taginfo).

I presume these clubs are member organisations, even if membership can be obtained at entry. For ones which it is practical for any passer-by the make use of the facilities then as you suggest amenity=pub may be appropriate: although if you do use such tagging, add something else like social_club=yes to show that it is different from a proper pub.

This type of club is widespread in the UK (Royal British Legion, various forces associations), but I can also think of the Albanian club on Albulastrasse, Zurich, and the Casa do Benfica nearby on Mürtschenstrasse. Similarly I have mapped a pensioners club in Spain, Hogar del Pensionista Alcollarin, as a cafe because that seemed to be how it worked.

Answer 2

Edit: I found the answer! http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Licensed_Club

Use: amenity=licensed_club

Polygon was drawn over Bing. I plan to add as many that I can, there is one piece of data I would love to add: Required Membership boundary - one must become a member if they are within this area and wish to enter. I'm not sure what relations are so time to search the wiki.
