Comments on: Why are people so weird about paying a $5 cover to see a band or DJ? http://www.missionmission.org/2015/02/25/why-are-people-so-weird-about-paying-a-5-cover-to-see-a-band-or-dj/ Saluting San Francisco's Mission District Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:29:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.6.1 By: m http://www.missionmission.org/2015/02/25/why-are-people-so-weird-about-paying-a-5-cover-to-see-a-band-or-dj/#comment-105630 m Thu, 26 Feb 2015 07:18:48 +0000 http://www.missionmission.org/?p=58604#comment-105630 Exactly. Not sure if Nick Pal’s post was extreme sarcasm or he just doesn’t understand the point of a bar. On the off-chance it was the latter, let it be known that DJs have no place in most bars. Take that stuff to a house party or a venue frequented by 22 year olds experimenting with coke for the first time. Most of us want to drink, talk among those sitting next to us, and not be bothered with some silly playlist a reader of this blog likely put together.

Friday/saturday night DJ/dance parties are another story.

i just wish who ever makes the flyers would post the cover charge, sucks showing up to a place, just to find out i have to spend extra money to pay for the privilege of listening to someone else’s musical tastes…

bands i don’t mind paying to get in for.

Of my choosing. You can choose DJ ambiance if you like! And pay whatever you’re willing!

Way extra! Why the fuck do you do that?!

If I’m just going for a drink, there’s no reason for me to pay extra for something I don’t need. And I *never* need a DJ.

But not wanting to pay a cover simply to go drink in a bar is totally understandable. Thankfully none of the bars I go to will ever have regular DJ nights but if molotovs all of a sudden had a cover because some dude wants to be a human jukebox, I’d do an immediate about-face and drink elsewhere.
