I'm playing an 1800s game, so I use clubs to restrict or allow access to things according to class.
In homes with servants, only servants have access to the kitchen and laundry areas. Only the family has access to the dining room (servant's dining is in the kitchen), and I have the servants cook a meal, then I manually move it into the dining area and manually move the plates out to be collected by the servants. There's a refrigerator (that looks like a side table) in the dining room so the family doesn't starve to death when I'm not playing them, haha.
For bars, women from the upper and middle classes cannot be seen in bars because it would ruin their reputation. Lower class women are allowed. I also put a gate to the area where the drinks are being made so that only bartenders have access and the patrons don't just wander back behind the bar. I have one controlled "bartender" (he's dressed like a bartender but doesn't actually have that job) and he's the club leader for all the NPC bartenders that are generated.
I'm also going to make a gentleman's club where only upper class males can go to drink and read.
I also plan to make 2 rival criminal gangs with their own clubs.
I'm working on a bank, so all the bank employees are in a club.
