I’ve had a couple of people respond to my post on Wednesday night at the Red Rooster, saying, “The 25 cent PBR and Miller Lite is awesome, but there’s a cover? If there’s a cover charge I’m not going.”
I don’t get that. Look, let’s do a little math here. I drank 8 PBRs last night. That means my total cost would have been the $5 cover + (8 x 25 cents) for beer = $7.00 before tip.
Compare that with Calhoun’s, a bar Downtown known for cheap PBR. Suppose I had gone there for 8 beers instead. My cost would have been $0 cover + (8 x $2) for beer = $16.00 before tip.
Even if you were to have as little as 3 PBRs, you’d still come out ahead – $5.75 Rooster vs. $6 Calhoun’s.
So, who cares if there’s a cover? You make it back on the beer.
Nothing against Calhoun’s by the way, they’re a great place to hang out too. They were just the logical bar to use for a comparison, since PBR is involved.
I had fun last night and plan on going back next Wednesday. Hopefully Christina started a trend and there will be lots of tube tops there next week.
