Young Men's Democratic Club

Young Men's Democratic Club Established in 1892, the Young Men's Democratic Club is a non-profit, private social club in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

The YMDC welcomes membership applications from ALL political parties and genders. Our facility includes a full bar, kitchen, pool table at only 50¢ a game, Touch Tunes juke box, PA Skill machines and payout kiosk, small games of chance, and a calendar of monthly events. HISTORY:
The Young Men's Democratic Club, a 501-(c7) non-profit organization, was founded on May 28, 1892 by 21 local democratic

men and remained a strictly male social club until a bylaw change allowing for active democratic women to join. The first known club was located on East Fourth Street next to the James V. Brown Library and then moved to West Fourth Street across from the Genetti Hotel until 1997. The club spent 28 years at 230 East Street before closing in 2025. In 2026, the club reopened at 1164 West Fourth Street. We are governed internally by our constitution and bylaws which is overseen by our board of directors and externally by the PLCB.

60% of all monies made from small games of chance are donated to the community.

Bar Manager: Daleane Zerbe
Bartenders: Sue Fry and Sheldon Lechler

The Board of Directors voted in 21 new members at our monthly meeting on June 14! All membership cards are done. You will find yours in the file box next to the cooler. If you cannot find your card, please let the bartender or a board member know.

For those who don’t know, the Club’s “House Rules” are posted in the black case just inside the front door. Please take a moment and read over them. If you’d like a copy for yourself, please ask.

Many of us on the Board have seen members getting into the cooler to get their own drinks. There has been a sign on the door since day one that clearly reads “Employees Only.” Absolutely NO ONE is welcome to open that door unless you are the bartender or a board member helping to restock. If a member is caught helping themselves, an incident report will be filed, and you may face suspension from the club.

Members bringing guests are also being asked to abide by the 3x rule. Anyone who is not a member is only allowed to be signed in 3 times before they have to join or stop coming in.

The Demi Club continuously needs the support of our members. The summer months are tough for all clubs and bars, but with being newly open and in a new location, the Demi Club is especially vulnerable. Please stop in often if you are able. Eat, drink, and be merry! This Club is for all of us!

Wishing you all a wonderful week! See you soon!
