The reason I thought they may be a QLD thing is the state Government here licences them a bit differently from your average pub (or used to, I haven't checked lately). Thus the (official) members only rules, connection to a sport club, etc. This connection can be quite vague - the one nearest my mothers place is called the Caboolture Sports Club - but is not anywhere near a sports ground, and I actually have no idea whatsoever what sport it is actually attached to. But it worth it to them, as they get concessions in the licencing of pokies etc that is otherwise harder to get.
One reason I was wondering about if they have a different tag, is because they have a different vibe to your average restaurant / pub. The clientele tends to be older, and a bit more staid. I know people who regularly go to these that would never step into a normal club, and very rarely eat at a normal restaurant. So far I've just marked them as restaurant, for lack of anything better.
