BAR EXPENSES
CASH BAR
Drinks for a cash bar are $3.75 per drink (either shots or beer). House wine (red or white) is priced out at $5.00 per glass.
FREE BAR
Free bars are priced on a per unit basis, as shown below:
1 oz. shot of liquor - $1.75
Bottle of beer - $2.75
Pop, juice, ice, glasses, lemons etc. - $ 2.25 per person for group of under100 people
Pop, juice, ice, glasses, lemons etc. - $ 1.95 per person for group of over 100 people
Bartenders with smart serve training - $ 9.95 per hour
10% PST and 5 GST and 5% gratuity are extra
Mix, and associated items are charged out at $1.95 or $2.25 per person. In other words, if you have 100 guests, your mix cost would be $195.00.
Bartenders cost $9.95 per hour, and we ask you keep in mind that our bartenders arrive early to setup and remain afterward to cleanup.
We also offer the “Loonie” and “Toonie” bar. It is based on the same idea as the free bar, however, we will charge your guests either $1.00 or $2.00 per drink and apply it towards your main bill. This will help reduce waste and is a nice alternative to the full price bar.
With any of our bar styles, selection and quantity is never a problem. We stock most of the major brands, and we can order in any specialty item you request, given ample notification.
For groups of 50 or less, we provide waitress service. This service may be billed individually or as a group charge.
For a special touch, you can have glass glassware for your bar. There is an additional charge of $1.00 per guest plus applicable taxes, due to the extra staffing requirements.
According to Liquor License Board Regulations ALL liquor, wine and beer must be purchased through the Oaks Inn Cookhouse license. We are responsible for ALL liquor served in the ballrooms. Any liquor not purchased on the Oaks Inn Cookhouse permit is not legal. This means that specialty bottled alcohol cannot be given out as favours. A standard banquet bar is open until 1:00 am. Staying open until 2:00 am is optional, but not recommended.
