When a live band is playing, there has always been a cover charge. The bands don't play for free and the cover, $5-$10 only pays for 1/2 the band fees. Overhead, bouncers, sound guy, insurance, taxes, etc are on all the bar profits. Where else can you go for so cheap to listen to some good regional bands? NOWHERE!
It depends on the event.
