Only those establishments that are close to the general public, such a private clubs fall outside this definition

Not in many places anymore.......A Massachusetts Court just today ruled that private clubs are subject to the same nanny state nonsense that Joe's Tavern is.

The idea of public and private has disappeared. And you apparently have no problem with that.

That's alright, private clubs, just like taverns here in upstate New York are closing left and right due to the DUI and smoking laws. Moose club, elks, even some vets clubs, gone.
