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. A cash bar is at no cost to you.

FREE BAR
Free bars are priced on a per unit basis, as shown below:
1 oz. shot of liquor                                - $1.60
Bottle of beer                                       - $2.50
Non-alcohol products                           - $ 2.25 per person
Bartenders with smart serve training      - $ 9.95 per hour

10% pst and 5%gst and 5% gratuity (where applicable) are extra

$2.25 per person covers all non-alcohol products such as celery salt, juices, pops, straws, glasses, ice, pickles, etc. If you have 100 guests, the non-alcohol expense would be $225.00.

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. Standard bar stock for liquor items is: Rye, Vodka, Gin, Rum, Cherry Whiskey, Scotch and Tequila.

Standard beer inventory that we carry for weddings is:

Blue, Coors Lt, Canadian, and OV

We provide a selection of four beers and you may substitute for any other beer you like.

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.
