Yeah, we've played a bunch of outdoor gigs, but ours have tended to be freebies more than our bar gigs (we've done a Labor Day Fest downtown, a get-out-the-vote downtown, a big private outdoor post-Halloween gig out on a private property, and the church band has done a few freebies downtown with a bunch of other church bands).
Our bar gigs are one set of originals on a three or 4 band bill, so we don't really make anything that way either. Enough to make up some stickers for the next show, haha. Oh, and the place we play most often, we get a $20 or so band tab.
