Bar Services

Scheduling your event's bar needs:

Whether your event needs a bartender or full bar service, our team of expert bartenders and coordinating staff are here to make your occasion memorable. University hosts must submit the online request form seven (7) days prior to their event, allowing our team time to review and confirm availability. We provide the licensed bartenders and a full range of beverage options, and your approved caterer will provide everything else, including non-alcoholic beverages, extra ice, tubs for chilling wine and beer, appropriate glassware, bar fruit, and any snack items.

Service of Alcoholic Beverages at University Events   

The University's policy on Service of Alcoholic Beverages at University events can be found here.             

The sale of liquor and wine in Franklin County is prohibited by law unless the establishment possesses a valid liquor license. Beer may be sold only by permit from the Franklin County Beer Board. Thus, at no University event may alcohol be sold. The University may provide alcoholic beverages free of charge at private events on campus so long as the University purchased the alcohol and beverages are served by its employees. Catering firms and their employees may never serve alcohol and may not provide alcohol as part of the catered menu. Caterers from other counties may be accustomed to serving alcohol in those other counties where the laws are different, but even if they are licensed to sell and serve in other counties, those licenses are not valid in Franklin County.
