According to a Facebook status update, it looks like the PigPen has finally caved in and killed their cover charge. Back when they first opened there was a cover charge every night of the week (LAME) and not too long ago they dropped the cover charge Sunday-Thursday. After that they dropped the cover charge for all women, effectively making every night ladies night at The PigPen (also LAME). But I guess that wasn’t panning out too well either.

Since most major bars in the Lehigh Valley don’t charge cover (oh, and have you heard that the economy is pretty bad these days?), it’s nice to see the PigPen getting with it and losing the cover. From a business perspective I totally understand wanting to charge a cover at a huge place like the PigPen. But throw us regular folk a bone here. This isn’t NYC or Philly..no one wants to pay $8 to get into a bar in the Lehigh Valley.

What are your thoughts about this? Did you see this coming? Should it have happened a long time ago?
