i see it is shown as a private club. what must one do to gain entrance if not a member?

This is due to a particular law in NC since they serve liquor and not food, which must be 30 percent of sales to be a public establishment. If you pay a fee of 10 dollars to be a member it's good for a year and you can bring a guest.

It's 10 dollars a year to join.

Is Crunkleton really $10? Every club like this in Raleigh is $1 for life. I have a stack of cards.. I see now from their website it is $10/year :/
