More about the Bar

The Basics

1. You may bring in your own alcohol. We do not have a liquor license. The alcohol must be served by our bartenders and cannot be set out on the guest tables. Our bartenders need to handle all alcohol due to our insurance coverage. All coverage is lost if the alcohol is not served by our bartenders.

2. If you decide on serving alcohol, having the Bar Package is necessary. The package includes the bartender, the frozen drink machine, and all of the disposables (ice, coolers, cups, napkins, and stirrers).

3. Client provides all alcohol, beer, wine, and champagne, along with lemons, limes, salt, mixers, and garnishes needed. We do not provide mixers, garnish, or anything perishable.

4. At the end of the night, just pack up the leftovers and take them with you. The Chateau bartender will clean the bar. They will sweep, mop, and take out the trash.

What you may decide to offer "by item"

Beer

Many of our party hosts choose to purchase kegs of beer for their guests. We can accommodate and serve kegs of beer. Providing kegs of beer is a more economical way to provide beer than bottles or cans.

Some of our party hosts prefer serving beer in bottles or cans, which is easy to do. We have galvanized tubs and insulated coolers available to hold the ice and beer. We serve the bottles or cans from those tubs and keep everything iced down -- nice and cold.

Wine

Bring your favorite bottles or boxes of wine. We have wine openers.

Alcohol

Bring in whatever alcohol you choose to serve.

Any alcohol that guest may bring must be stored behind the bar and served by our bartenders.

Disposable cups, ice, coolers, cocktail napkins, stirrers, and straws are provided.

*We do not provide mixers, garnish, or anything perishable.

Frozen Drink Machine

A frozen drink machine is available and can be used for alcoholic or non-alcoholic frozen drinks. It is your choice to use the machine or not.

Each side of the frozen drink machine holds 3.5 gallons. Be sure to purchase a minimum of 2 gallons of mix to ensure a proper freeze.

The bartender will make your frozen drinks, refill the machine as needed, and serve your drinks until your mix runs out.

*Client supplies the alcohol, mix, limes, and salt.

 

Bartenders

The serving of alcohol by our bartenders is one of our few requirements and is not an option. This is needed to meet the building insurance policy requirements.

If you would like your bar to be open for more hours, extended bartending service is charged at the rate of $45.00 per hour.

 

A Bar Package is available

Chateau bartenders will serve your drinks all night long. At the end of the night, the bartender will clean the bar and take out trash. For more about pricing and what we do, check out the Bartending Package.

One bartender for every 125 guests is advised. A good bartender can handle additional guests, but the bartender may sometimes have a line at your bar when your party begins. Lines will tend to happen at the beginning of your party, when your bar first opens and everyone is ordering their first drink. Once that initial rush is over, the flow of guests will return to normal and any line at the bar will be minimal. The more intense your bar offerings are, the more likely it is that you will need a second bartender.

Bar Clean-Up

We will clean-up the bar area at the end of the night. We'll wipe everything down, empty and clean the frozen drink machine, take out the trash, sweep, and mop.
