Non-smoking clubs in PA

[ClandJu 15]

Probably a long shot, but does anyone know of any clubs that do not allow smoking indoors. We're both very sensitive to cigarette smoke and it takes the fun out of going to club when your eyes are burning out of their sockets. We appreciate any recommendations. We are located near the Harrisburg area, so we would be looking the central/east portion of PA or Northern Maryland.

If you're ever in Ontario, you should visit any of our clubs; smoking in restaurants and bars has been against the law here for many years.

It's illegal in those places in most states as well (Kentucky was a holdout at one time), but most clubs are private organizations and don't always have to follow those rules. State by state basis, so YMMV.

 

I know our local club went smoke-free in the past year with a smoking area just outside. Oddly enough, the smoking area is probably the best place to meet and get to know people.

We are frequent patrons of two clubs in the area where smoking is restricted to closed-off area with separate ventilation.

 

Our favorite, and a club that is not far at all for you, is the Korral (Spring Grove, PA). They have a separate smoking lounge, and I as a non-smoker have never smelled smoke in the est of the club.

 

Another club that has recently instituted a non-smoking policy throughout the club (again, except for a separately-vented smoking lounge) is The Private Affair (TPA), in Port Deposit, MD. TPA used to be just as bad as you mentioned- eye-burning smoke, and clothes that smelled of smoke after an evening at the club. Since they changed their policy and did the remodeling to add the smoking lounge, I have not smelled smoke in the club.

 

There are a couple other clubs near you, but I'm not certain of their smoking policy. We've been to The Cottage near Gettysburg, but it was a slow night, and I can't recall in detail the smoke level or their policy or facility layout regarding smoking. Also, TJ's is in the area, but we haven't been. Finally, Tabu is in Catonsville, MD (very close to us), but I have no recollection of their smoking policy.

 

Hope this helps!

This helps a lot, thank you very much for the information. I think we'll give TPA a try.

Saints and Sinners in Philly doesn't allow smoking inside- it's one of the reasons we love it!

We second the info on Saints and Sinners and TPA. When we lived in Pa, we were at TPA almost every weekend. We'd drive home and strip in the garage before going inside to shower the stale smoke from our hair before going to bed. We were just at TPA in July and were incredibly pleased to find that there is no longer smoking in the bar/club area at all. What a pleasant change!!
