Bar Service

Bar Service Options 

First & Green offers several attractive bar options to suit your budget and taste.

Hosted Bar

In this format, you as the Host pay for all alcohol. You specify the type of alcohol (beer, wine, spirits) and the amount. We give you an estimate in advance, so you know the cost before you are committed. First & Green orders the alcohol for you and provides bartender service. When it has been consumed, no more is provided unless you ask us to serve more, for which we bill you, or switch to offering a cash bar, for which your guests pay. The Host may specify the brands and varietals served, and any alcohol remaining at the end of the event belongs to you. We invoice you for this in advance with the catering charges. 

Cash Bar

In this format, your guests may choose and pay our First & Green bartender directly for each drink. We offer a selection you can approve in advance, or we will offer First & Green’s selected beer, wine, and mixed drinks. We can also be sure to have on hand any particular brands you request.

Hybrid Bar

Many people offer a combination, where they offer their guests a signature cocktail or a mix of wine and beer and provide the opportunity for their guests to purchase whatever else they may want as a Cash Bar.

Typical Alcohol Selections

Explore selections below; we will be pleased to order whatever brands and varietals you like.

  • Wine

    Typical cost for a case of red wine runs about $175, and for a case of white about $160. Most popular varietals include Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir for red, and Moscato or Pinot Grigio for white. Actual costs incurred may vary somewhat as the prices we pay do fluctuate from time to time.

  • Sparkling Wine

    Champagne and Prosecco and sparkling Moscato are all popular choices. We are often asked to provide a champagne cocktail for toasts, and we are also happy to provide non alcoholic selections.

  • Beer

    We offer the usual suspects: Bud and Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Coors Light, and Miller Lite. We also offer Blue Moon and various craft beers. We order in cases of 24 bottles, or cans in the case of craft beer. We do not allow kegs as they are way more trouble than they are worth.

  • Spirits

    We offer bourbon, scotch, irish, gin, vodka, tequila and brandy and liqueurs in various brands. Since we also run Molly’s Place, the restaurant across the street, adding supply is easy.

  • Signature Cocktails & Punch

    Tell us what you want, or we will enjoy developing a fun cocktail or punch to share with your guests. Royal Wedding Punch? Blackberry Bourbon Iced Tea? Amaretto Sours? No worries, we can do it.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

Alcohol from Other Sources

The terms of our liquor license and insurance prevent us from allowing you or your guests to bring alcohol from other sources onto our property and require that First & Green personnel supervise its service as bartenders. We charge for that at $150 plus 9% sales tax, though if the event is longer than 4 hours, we add an hourly charge of $35 per bartender. We hate to raise it, but if you or your guests do bring alcohol onto our property, the repercussions for us are serious, so we charge you $250 per infraction.
