Bar Services

Bar Services

For most special events bar services are a requirement. Whether corporate or social affairs such as company parties, social balls, charity gala's, receptions, and many other special events many of these events will demand  some form of beverage or bar services and/or stations. Whether dry bar or wet bar that may consist of just beer and wine, or full wet bar stocked with hard liquor choices and amenities, having the right service and experienced service personnel is a must. Due to liability and legal responsibility issues associated with alcoholic beverages as well as the personal safety and welfare of guests

it is only recommended that experienced licensed  professionals of legal age ever provide and disperse alcohol to anyone for any event.

I can not stress this point enough. Bar Services and the safety and welfare of guests concerns pertaining to alcoholic beverages are only as good as those who are providing the services.

· Will your caterer provide bartending services or will you hire the service separately?

· What type of services does the bar service provider provide? 

   Bars, bartenders, servers, glassware, liquor, beer, wine, etc  

· What menu choices of drinks and brands of liquor can the service provide?

· Make sure the service you employee has a liquor licenses.

· Some individuals want to save money and bring in their own bar services to a venue or

   facility they have rented for their event. If you are one of those make sure you rent a facility

   or hire a caterer that doesn't try to restrict you from doing so.

· Are you renting a venue or facility where you can BYOB and bar services into?

· What types of beverages are you wanting the bar service to provide?

   Dry bar only? (no alcohol) Partial wet bar with beer and wine only? Full wet bar with liquor?

· What is the cost for alcohol? Is it a per person charge, by the drink or consumption or by the

   bottle?

· If by the bottle, will I be charged for any open bottle and if so will it be given to me to take

   home after the event? If by the bottle do they keep and count bottles of alcohol consumed

   at the end of the night?

   up a large bill?

· Will the bar service you contract charge a per person charge such as $10.00, $15.00, or $20

   per person instead of monitoring consumption for billing purposes? 

· If a running tab or by drink assessment is used will they notify you during the event if the

   alcohol bill reaches a predetermined expected amount before running over? 

· Ask your bar service what is the typical cost of alcohol for the size of event you are having?

· Does your bar service have a minimum limit charge for alcohol for the size of the event you

  are planning? What is that amount? 

· For formal seated affairs will your bar service serve glasses of alcohol to all who are sitting

   at the table even if they are minors?

· Can your bar service serve wine and other alcoholic beverages during dinner at each

    table?                                  

· Will your bar service fill up the glasses at tables only when specifically asked to do so by an

   individual sitting there or will they ask the individual would you like me to fill your glass?

· What does your bar service practice when serving? Do they practice a full glass policy?

   That is to fill up the glass if it is empty without asking? or will they ask?
