They must have mischarged you. The beers are around $5 a pint. Not $8. It was odd the other time because the evil waitress was nice to us. I did get "shushed" by the miserable barman though, YAY!!!!

Oh come on! You can't tell me that $16 for a pint of Boddies and pint of flat Guiness is not out of order in a shit hole like Polly's.
 
 Especially with the lousy 'tude of the bar wench and the old witch of a waitress that barges her way past everyone so you spill your $16 boddies and flat guinness! [/b]

And they don't have the overhead that clubs have such as extra electricty charges and entertainment taxes.

they have a juke box, that means they have to pay entertainment tax. and the last time I was there, they had electric lights and I didnt have to wind the juke box up.
 
 It seems pretty common in DC for a beer to be $5

Honestly don't know how the tax laws work regarding juke boxes vs live entertainment but knowing the whores called politicians, I wouldn't be surprised if they do tax juke boxes. What's the verdict Josh?
 
 As far as electricty, I'd much rather have to pay the bill for Polly's than the 9:30 Club or the Black Cat.

CAPACITY for 9:30 club: 1000
 capacity for black cat:500?
 capacity for polly's:50?
 
 of course the electricity bill is going to be more at the 9:30. and with 20 times as many people drinking, they're going to be able to rake in a few more beer dollars.

sure but they hold a lot more people. I imagine the per head electric bill would not be dissimilar, except for pollys not having air conditioning.

$5-6 in for a pint in DC is acceptable to me, even $7 if it's in a nice place with pleasant staff, but to get robbed and made to feel like you're a nuisance to them (like the 930 backbar...sorry, had to get it in one more time!) just pisses me off, there's just too many bars in DC to have to deal with it.

[markie]

the ottobar has $2 yeunglings......
 
 the recher has natty boo in cans real cheap
 
 I cant remember the price in Fletchers. I think it was closer to 930 pricing.

i can get a whole six pack for $7, and sit at home naked drinking it with my naked wife, playing the music we want to hear.
 
    what was the point of going to a bar?

Ah, but you have to remember that the clubs are now all ages, meaning that not all will be drinking. Also, not all of age bother drinking. And a larger business requires a larger staff and probably higher rents, property taxes, upkeep, etc..
 
 My point being that it costs a lot to put on a live electric show which has to be passed onto the consumer, therefore, warranting a bit higher drink cost.
