cover charge
Club entry cost
A cover charge is a fixed fee to enter a venue, typically a bar, club, or restaurant featuring live entertainment.
The charge covers the cost of the performance or atmosphere rather than food or drinks, which are purchased separately: There's a twenty-dollar cover charge on weekends when the band plays.
