Q: Can I bring my own alcohol?

A: No, we are a full service bartending company with a mixed beverage permit. This means we hold the permit that requires us to provide the alcohol as well as the non alcohol and the staffing.

Q: Can I take the left overs?

A: No, TABC views the event location as a permitted location. So just like you can not leave with alcohol from a club, you can not leave with alcohol from the venue. That is why we bill per person and not per bottle. You buy the time for a person to drink alcohol, not a set number of bottles.

Q: What is the difference between an unlimited open bar and a limited open bar? 

A: An unlimited open bar is just as stated, unlimited drinks for those that are 21 or over; however, we must obey the law and will cut someone off. Limited is based on a certain number of drinks to be served and when it is out, it's out.

Q: What do you serve the drinks in?

A: We use clear plastic-ware to help keep the price of the bar to a minimum. All plastic-ware is clear (no dixie cups) and the beer is in cans but poured into cups. This helps us keep the prices down and more heavily stock the bar. We can do real glassware but it would require renting the glassware and hiring bussers. Look to add about $1000 to the bar price. 

Q: Can you do frozen drinks?

A: We can do frozen drinks but we do not own frozen drink machines. We have to rent them so look to add at least $300 for the rental, mix, and needed alcohol for the mix.
