(Since Bain’s day — he died in 1928 — the Pendennis has admitted women and, in 1999, according to The Courier-Journal of Louisville, at least one black member.)


Wow. Really stepping it up. :?

To my knowledge there are still entire floors women are not allowed on. Gross. PD Club is freaking gross.

Nice article about the history of Henry Bain sauce, but a black-eye for Louisville nationally. :(

Some hot journalism there, relying on nothing but a 14-year-old source. I just recently got a tour of the club from a member and I'm pretty sure I saw women everywhere except the men's locker room.

Actually, I'm relying on the account of an acquaintance who works there currently.

Still is at least one dining room to which women are not admitted.

In all honesty, this is just one of many things that make me ashamed to be a white male.

Actually when I wrote mainstay I meant the Henry Bain Sauce, but I'm happy to see the larger discussion. Quite honestly, I didn't realize the Pendennis Club still existed.

I knew it existed, but I think the larger point here is that the Pendennis Club is no longer relevant. It might have been the center for power brokers and the place where Louisville's decisions were made back in another era. I won't deny my grandfather was a member (but not a racist. :oops: ) But I can't even imagine who'd pay dues for it now, other than maybe a few old retired rich guys, clipping their coupons and watching the sun set on their memories.

When I was working downtown, the rumor mill had it that membership was so down that if they did not have rental income from wedding receptions and such, they would have to close. I have never been there as a patron and feel no need to go.

I don't know why everyone is shocked about this. Rooms that are restricted to women at private clubs is a pretty common practice everywhere. Most "Grill Rooms" are restricted to women for at least part of the day. I don't really understand why women would want to seek entrance to a dark room where a bunch of drunk, grumpy old curmudgeons are cussing about politics, local sports while playing cards. :roll:
