where's one?

I've had a few recent gigs in which we played at bars without wedges or FOH. Guitar, bass and vocals went through their respective amps and powered monitors, sending sound to band and public.
I feel these gigs would have been more solid if I had used a click to control the tempo. However I'm unsure how this setup would look like.
If I use my in-ears with my metronome, they will excessively dampen the sound of the band.
So what would be the solution?
I thought of these, but may be missing the mark:
[1] run the click through earphones that don't isolate as well as my in-ears
[2] set up an ambient mic to pick up the band, feed that signal and the click to a small mixer, send output to my in-ears.
Any better suggestions?
