The Tower Club is proud to offer our members and guests one of the finest selections of wines, spirits and non-alcoholic refreshments for their catering needs. You will find in this brochure a variety of Hosted, Cash, and Flat Rate packages, and we will also customize any arrangements to fit your requirements and budget.
Catering Bars
Before you make a decision on what to serve and how long your liquor service should last, review the following factors and practical tips:
- Don't underestimate your crowd! According to statistics provided by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, average consumption of a typical guest at a reception with food is 3.5 drinks for the first hour, up to 2.5 drinks during the second hour, and about 1.5 every following hour.
- The Club recommends one bartender for 75 people. However, if you decide to reduce the ratio, it will probably increase consumption due to the accessibility of the bars.
- Closing the bar during dinner will help with service, assuring that your guests receive the attention they desire, and you expect. This would also help you to control consumption for safety purposes and your cost.
- We can provide a fine selection of non-alcoholic beverages for your guests that choose not to drink, as well as a coffee station during the late evening to help ensure your guests' safety. You might want to mention to your guests that The Club can also make reservations at University Plaza as a safety alternative.
