The Club

Casual evenings for a diverse community of select businessmen by private invitation.
An exclusive group of professional, executive and entrepreneurial businessmen, who meet at bars and Indian, Nepalese, Pakistani or Sri Lankan restaurants, to enjoy fine food and wide-ranging conversation.
