    Anybody have any clue what the cover charge is at Breeze on Fridays? Their own website and Google searches on the topic reveal nothing! Nothing!

  2. Cindy Cotte Griffiths

    Jennifer Kaye let us know it’s $5.00. I don’t think you can beat such a great cover charge. Plus tonight the money raised from 6 – 8 p.m. will benefit the Rockville Recreation and Parks Foundation. Fun for a cause!Thanks Jen for filling us in!

  3. Adam W

    Great list. Don’t forget Spice Xing Karaoke Night on Fridays starting at 9:30pm-close and Austin Grill Karaoke Night on Sundays at 9:00pm-close
