Host Bar

This type of bar service is used when you, as the host, pay for all the drinks consumed by your invited guests. Our staff will track the number of drinks consumed by the calculation of the opening and closing of the liquor stock issued to your event.

You will be invoiced afterwards according to the beverage usage. Minimum bar purchases of $200.00 are required or a bartender fee will be charged.

This type of bar service is when the guests of the event have to pay for their beverages individually. Guests are served beverages on a cash basis paying the bartender. For a larger event, we will provide cashier(s) to sell drink tickets on site.

Minimum Bar purchases of $200.00 are required or a bartender fee will be charged. The prices are set up to cover all costs incurred to operate the bar service i.e. labour, shipping and storage, management, etc.
