Maybe it’s my old age but a few years back prior to COVID most of the bars in DuPont didn’t have a Cover but I am noticing more wanting $20 to get in. Has anyone else experienced this?

Pretty standard for places like Decades and Rose bar. DuPont has become bougie.

yeah i always say if a bar is asking for a cover it’s probably not one you wanna bother with. the only place i’ll pay a cover is madam’s organ for the live music and it’s like five or ten bucks

Also be on the lookout for shady bouncers. I love bouncers but have encountered some bad apples. Had a bouncer mistake me for a tourist or something at the waterfront one day (one of the outside bars) and tell me it was a $20 cover. I busted out laughing and asked “for what?” He said he was just kidding. My guess is he scammed people like that all the time.

I wasn’t expecting to be charged but maybe I am just old lol.

Same, madams organ is the last time I paid a cover and you can pay with a credit card. The live music is worth it.

There are enough bars in DC that you shouldn't ever have to pay a cover or wait in line unless it's a special event. A line on a normal night just means that they're at full capacity and that it's going to be miserable when you do finally get inside.
