Tourism & Travel | | English term or phrase: No cover | | You don't need to be a Sherlock Holmes fan to enjoy the warm and homely atmosphere of this downtown watering hole. The books, street signs and pictures give patrons plenty of clues that the theme of the bar is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous fictional sleuth. In addition to regular pub fare, fresh salads and desserts are offered. Local and imported alcohol is sold at moderate prices, with a bottle of Stella local running EGP12.50. Watch for beer specials and happy hours. No cover. |

No cover charge
Some bars and clubs do not charge an entrance fee, which is indicated in signs stating "no cover" or "no cover charge". These bars use the live entertainers to draw and retain customers in the establishment, so that the customers will buy alcohol. To attract more female customers, bars often have a “no cover for women” policy, sometimes on a ladies' night. In some cases these policies have been been challenged in lawsuits as discriminatory, and are illegal in some jurisdictions in the United States. Some comedy clubs and strip bars may allow patrons to enter without paying a fee, with the implicit or explicit expectation that the customers will buy alcoholic beverages while inside. Some bars with "no cover charge" policies may have higher prices for their snacks and beer to make up for the lack of a cover charge. Many nightclubs oriented towards electronic dance music have a cover charge, in some cases because many of their patrons are not drinking alcohol due to use of other drugs such as MDMA. Bottles of water are also often priced at up to $10 to offset the loss of revenue from reduced sales of alcohol.
