Started by giving it 5 stars. But have to change it down to 1.

We’ve been to many jazz bars. This is the first time we got charged a “music charge” without anyone telling us about it. We didn’t agree to it before sitting down. And they refused to remove it fully.

They excuse? We were supposed to read it on a tiny font on a poorly lit poster at the corner of the entrance. Similar like those terms and conditions you see on websites.

Completely spoils the otherwise amazing experience. Extremely dishonest and borderline illegal practice.

EDIT: You may charge whatever you like. Charge 5,000 if you wish. Point is, it must be stated clearly. Otherwise it’s a scammy practice.

1. You could make the text large and make it visible by putting it right at the door instead of the tiny font in the corner.

2. You could tell people about it before they sit down. It would take 5 seconds.

3. You could charge a ticket at the door.

But you do none of that. Instead, you choose to hide this charge.

Are we supposed to read your terms and conditions, Facebook page, IG, etc before we even sit down? Just to make sure there is nothing being hidden anywhere? How absurd is that?

If you ask people to pay for something they didn’t agree with, it’s a scam. As simple as that. Shame that you choose to make money this way.
