—————————–BAR PACKAGES—————————–
Due to our vast beer selection it is impossible for us to offer a comprehensive price per
person bar package, but we have designed the following options to allow you to pick and
choose bar options to suit the needs of your group
Open Bar
An Open Bar means that guests can order as they wish through our service staff from
our entire bar menu of draught & bottled beer, wine and liquor. For an Open Bar all
alcohol purchases are charged to the Group’s tab. This option can be customized to
accommodate the specific needs of your group. All bar purchases are subject to 7%
Poured Drink Tax and 20% gratuity.
Drink Tickets
We can provide drink tickets for the Group at a set number of drinks per person.
Guests can then redeem their tickets for any items off of our Bar Menu and all
beverages will go on to the Group’s tab. Anything purchased in addition to the
tickets provided by the Group is the responsibility of the individual guest to pay. Any
individual tabs are subject to 7% Poured Drink Tax and 20% gratuity.
Limited Bottles
With this option either the Group or one of our beer specialists can help you select 6-
12 different bottled beers off the menu and determine how many beers you would like
served per person. We place a selection of the beers that were chosen on ice with
bottle openers, glassware and any other accoutrements that are necessary out on a
beverage station and your guests can serve themselves. Throughout the function a
member of our staff will make sure that the beer is properly restocked; replacing
beers that are not being drunk with ones that are, but not eclipsing the total bottle
count determined before the function. This package is charged based upon
consumption; any bottles that are unopened are returned to stock. This package can
also be combined with our Wine package. All bar purchases are subject to 7% Poured
Drink Tax and 20% gratuity.
Cash Bar
With this option the Group is not responsible for any beverage charges. All tabs are
paid for by the individuals and are subject to 7% Poured Drink Tax and 20% gratuity.
Guests will be able to order as they wish from our service staff.
Non-Alcoholic Beverage Self Service
All non-alcoholic beverages outside of the coffee, tea and iced tea included in the
buffet price is charged based upon consumption. A selection of bottled sodas, waters
and juices are available cold in the room for every function and charges are assessed
based upon what is opened throughout the event.
Assorted Sodas & Bottled Waters~ $3.50 per bottle
Assorted Juices ~ $4 per bottle
Wine Package
We also offer wine for purchase by the bottle to accompany any beer packages. Wine
can be purchased by the bottle and will be available for self-service with appropriate
glassware in the room during your function. All wine charges are based upon opened
bottles or poured carafes. At least 48 hours notice is required for all purchases to
ensure adequate inventory. We reserve the right to substitute a wine of equal value

All events require the finalization of the Menu, Bar Package and Guarantee head count 7

supply the linens themselves.
