I have friends who are members of Soho House in NYC and London. It's well worth it. Good networking, cool events. The totty isn't bad either, though a bit on the older side. Main benefit for girls is as a date venue; some girls get excited about private clubs.

It never hurts to rub elbows with "big shots".

I know a guy who is in a club like this. He says that it's effective from the standpoint that you're surrounded by so many successful people that you move your ass harder than before. He doesn't feel right slacking off when other guys are pulling serious coin.

If you're angle is the business contacts, perhaps.
If it's the women, not so much. Better to join a YMCA in a city not named Toronto, than a pretentious joint here.
Ive been to the Spoke Club on King west a few times, which is a similar private type place. Beautiful terrace looking at the skyline, but terrible attitudes. No one looks like they are having a good time.

Four years later.... any forum guys have a Soho House membership? I've gone to the NYC spot with a friend several times, and it's a cool spot to hang out with a great crowd. Seems like it would be a solid date spot as well (especially if you're pulling off Tinder or SA game). Price isn't that bad, especially for under 27 and considering it has a gym. I'm trying to figure out how to join, but only have the one reference.

Some of these clubs have long commitments, high initiation fees, and required monthly spends. Make sure you know all the details going in. Find out if there is a cancellation period where you can try it for a month.

Why this place over one of the much older private men's clubs in Toronto (Toronto Club, National Club, Albany Club, York Club)?
I always thought those types of "old boy's club" spots were where the real power brokers hung out and drink, but maybe I'm wrong. That or old country clubs with pictures of golf champions from 1920's and tennis trophies in old wooden cases.

I'm probably the wrong guy to ask since I'm cheap and give two fucks about status. To me the value there is potential networking if you work in film or some creative field. While you may impress some chick taking her there, I doubt anyone would know what it was name dropping it. What's your reasoning or motivation for joining? If its for networking its probably worthwhile. If you think you would enjoy being a member cool. If its for status fuck it

Bump,
I've been invited as a prospetive member to a social club on SoCal that has some serious membership.
The meeting is in 2 weeks. I'm very excited. Has anyone gone through this process? What can I expect and how should I approach it?

On a related note, I'm a member of a country spa near me. The facilities are excellent, and as mentioned, it's inspiring being around successfull people all the time. You will find the ones who truely have made it don't brag about it.

I was recently invited for a special night/event into one of the Soho Houses (one of their top 3). The person who invited us seemed to make a great deal out of it, we each had to send a picture of us for 'approval'. Once inside, it was not any different to what I would consider a high-end nightclub, but more quiet (the venue/event was held outside). Met a few interesting people (lawyers, real estate investors..), quality of women same as a high-end club and many rich kids with not a care in the world. All-in-all not impressed (1. I never heard of the Soho Houses before 2. Only doing some research afterwards I found out some people consider them a big deal) especially not after knowing the yearly fees and having the feeling to being forced to go there now and then to get my money's worth.
Depending on where you are I'd rather use that money for something else and visit rooftop or beach bars of 5* hotels.
