BAR SERVICE POLICY Our team will work with you to create the perfect drink menu for your event. THE MUSEUM DOES NOT ALLOW OUTSIDE BEVERAGE SERVICE OF ANY KIND. We have a full liquor license and trained bar staff. If outside alcohol is discovered, the alcohol and the person responsible will be removed by Museum staff and will not be allowed to return to the event. Alcohol must be purchased through the Museum at the time the BEO is placed, and must be served by Museum bartenders. The number of bartenders required is based on the estimated number of guests. All guests should be prepared to show proper photo identification (ID) to receive alcoholic beverages. The Museum staff reserves the right to refuse, sell, or serve to anyone who appears to be intoxicated, has questionable or improper ID, or for any reason Museum staff deems necessary. If a guest is judged to be intoxicated, Museum security has the right to escort the individual off Museum property. For any event that offers alcoholic beverages to their guests, the Museum may require a uniformed officer to check and verify IDs and identify underage guests with wristbands. All guests are subject to ID verification. The Museum normally requires one or more uniformed law enforcement officers whenever alcoholic beverages are served or sold. Payment or reimbursement for officers and wristband costs is the responsibility of the client. All undergraduate social functions must be properly registered with the appropriate student activities office of the respective academic institutions before a facility reservation will be confirmed. For every 50 underage persons, one (1) of-age adult chaperone must be present. Bartenders and Tip Jars One (1) bartender is required for every 75 to 100 guests. There is a charge of $50 per bartender per hour for the first four (4) hours of service and an additional charge of $75 per hour for each hour of service after the first four (4) hours. Our bartenders are paid an hourly rate. This is often because guests allow them to put out tip jars during their events. If you do not wish to have a tip jar at your event, we will add on a 15-percent gratuity for each bartender for the duration of your event based on bar sales before the 22-percent service charge is added.
