Queens Club

Oooohhh la la!
Very swanky, indeed.
I am not a tennis player (or a player at any team [who am I kidding-​anything physical] at all) however, my sister is a huge tennis player and an active member at Queens.
She also throws a big Christmas party there every year.
I must say, having had zero idea what to expect, what a beautiful spot. And I can see why she loves going there for tennis, as well.
For a party location, I imagine it’s not cheap to rent, but it is brilliant because the children are free to roam around and toss tennis balls at one another and go bananas on the court, which is excellent for their parents who don’t want to have to entertain them.
Meanwhile, the older kids (meaning the adults) get to mingle and get a lil tipsy upstairs in the swanky restaurant, bar, mingling area and overlook their kiddos playing through the enormous glass window/​walls.
There is a restaurant area, as well as a bar area, where I played bartender for the night. There was no sink which was difficult, but it was still fun. Perhaps I am biased because I’ve never been allowed to play bartender at people’s parties so this was a first and I loved it, but regardless, I can also see why big sis likes this joint as a tennis player.
After sweating your addidas-​clad buns off, you can meander upstairs with your fancy pals and have drinks RIGHT THERE without having to get your coat on and go out and find another place. All the while feeling quite lahdeehdah with a big framed picture of her majesty elizabeth hanging above a fireplace when she was still young and pretty to look at, staring at you as you schmooze with fellow club-​mates.
Best of all it’s literally 2 blocks from our house.
I enjoyed it as a party venue, especially for the children, and I can imagine, if one can afford the insane membership cost, enjoying it immensely as a member, as well.
