It depends.

For many musicians it is not a career, but a hobby. A outlet for creativity. (That is me) In which case we choose venues that are like us. Our most recent gig was at our local Musicians Club https://youtu.be/URwzKL8pjQo?t=819

For others it is a important part of their income, so they should be paid.

Who should pay? If the punters pay a door charge the band should get it (that is the tradition here) if not then, yes, the owner of the venue pays it.

Musicians making an income simply have to avoid opportunities that they have outgrown: free jam spaces, open mics, and whatnot.

Generally speaking musicians are the last to get paid and the first to blame.
