8. Trader Ed's

Rip off..
I was on vacation with my family and best friend this July up on the Cape and was looking forward to having a great night out with my friend.However, when we rolled up to Trader Ed's at about 11 (we are from VA and don't go out to the bars until at least 11:30, so we had no idea about last call at about 12!) we were told to give a cover charge of $20 each! Some girls get in for free for wearing clothes that show off their breasts and asses, we happened to be wearing classy clothes that night...Their drinks were about $10 and last call was at 12!! And there were a ton of old old men being nasty. I wouldn't have minded the place if they wouldn't have charged so much, especially $20 for when we got there at 11...it should have been a discounted price. And all they have is music and a pool...whoooopdeedo! Being from DC area, we have a ton of great places for a less expensive price and have wonderful times! needless to say, I will never return to that place...unless I can get in for FREE!

Trader Ed's offers a place for families during the day or evening fun with a great mix of singles and couples at night. Food, wait staff and cleanliness are reasons to return. Very upbeat with sports TV on inside and lively conversation. Not the bar/pick up scene. What I was used to in L.A. Give it a try.
