Alcohol Service Details
If you require alcohol service during your function there are a few options you
can choose from. Simply discuss the following options with the Students’ Union
Operations Coordinator to chose the option most suited to your needs.
Our bar setup consists of all standard bar items including coolers, liqueurs,
soft drinks, juices, ice, etc.
Cash Bar
No liquor permit is required by the customer.
A cash bar allows your guests to purchase their own beverages including soft
drinks and juice etc. (Students’ Union supplies the liquor). There is no
gratuity charge associated with a cash bar.
Host Bar
No liquor permit is required by the customer.
The host (you) will pay for all the beverages your guests purchase and the
Students’ Union supplies the liquor. There will be a $100/per bartender
gratuity charge added to the total tab.
Corkage Bar
When purchasing liquor, the host will also need to buy a liquor resale permit at the liquor store.
All liquor is purchased and supplied by the host. The host will also be billed
for labor and $5.00 + GST per person to cover all additional bar costs such as
pop, ice, napkins, garnishes, glasses, etc. Porters can be available to pour
the 1st glass of wine at the tables for an additional cost of $1.50/person
(this must be arranged prior to the event). The Students’ Union can supply a
cash float if requested.

Wine Service Details
Specialty wines and product can be ordered to customize your event. (An
additional charge may apply.) Please give 30 days notice if you want specialty
product ordered.
You may also chose to purchase your own wine. If you wish to do this you will
be required to supply a liquor permit and resale permit. Please discuss the
details of wine service with our Operations Coordinator. Wine must be
purchased from a licensed AGLC recognized retailer. It is against AGLC
legislation to serve home made wine on the U of L campus.
