bar9 never charges to get in and they always have someone playing all the time.

Some bars will try to get money out of anyone who walks through the door. When I used to do sound for my brother-in-law's band, I once got charged a cover charge (a place in Jersey that will remain nameless). They weren't charging cover until a certain hour, and then they sent a bouncer around to collect from the people that were in before the charging started at the door (including me behind the equipment!!)

I don't think all bars do this when no band is playing- just the money-hungry ones, or the ones that aren't making their rent.
