Cover charges really eat into your bar budget. When we went out on Friday, both Café 210 and Bar Bleu charged us to get in ($2 and $3, respectively). This doesn't sound like much, but if you are drinking on a budget you need to distribute this cover charge over the drinks you purchased. Thus, if you just buy a $5 pitcher, it really cost you $7 with the cover charge.
The best solution is to avoid cover charges, which is often impossible on the weekend with the notable exceptions of Indigo from 9-10 and the front patio of Café 210. Alternatively, don't bar hop. If you buy all your drinks at one bar instead of over a lot of bars, you can distribute the cover charge over a larger number of drinks. (Or more directly, you just pay fewer cover fees.)
