I mean clubs that charge entrance, lik the now defunct 100 Club in
London, for example.

The only place I've seen that done was Pizza Express on Dean Street in
London upon my last visit there.  But I had been there before, and the
maitre d'  did not bother those times.

Now that's for sure!  I always order something beyond the minimum at
palces that have minimum order, or places charging entrance, as I
believe that  this additional revenue motivates owners to hire bands,
even in places like the Pizza Express where the owner loves jazz.
