Per-Person Bar Service
A bar is available for those functions where the host will pay for all of the alcohol consumed. With this type of service there are no individual sales. In order to provide a method of payment that can easily be worked into a person's budget, we provide a price per person based on the average consumption of alcohol during a reception. The final cost is based on the guaranteed number of customers for this function.

Complimentary Snack Baskets will be provided on all bars.

All prices are subject to an 18% service charge, Georgia sales tax, and a 3% local option liquor tax.

Due to the provisions of our alcohol license, no other alcoholic beverages may be brought into our service area. Alcoholic beverages purchased in the Georgia Center cannot be taken off of the Georgia Center property. All alcoholic beverages purchased during a banquet function can only be consumed in our food services areas.

Drink Ticket Information

A group may choose to provide a specific number of drink tickets to their guests in conjunction with a cash bar. This may be ordered one of two ways:

1. Option One: The first and best option allows the contact person to order a specific number of tickets from the bar manager. These tickets may be redeemed at the bar for the beverage of the customer's choice. The bartender will keep an exact tally of what beverage the customer has chosen. The bill will be calculated at the end of the event. The group will be billed only for the amount of tickets redeemed. The price for each item is taken from our open bar menu. An 18% service charge, 7% sales tax, and a 3% local option liquor tax will be added. These tickets can only be redeemed at the specific bar set up for the event. Guests can purchase additional beverages from the cash bar.

   Any number of tickets per person may be purchased with this package.
   
   A full bar including domestic and imported beer, wine, and bar brand and call brand liquors will be set up, unless otherwise requested. The contact person may choose to limit the choices given.




2. Option Two: This option is used only when the group has a limited amount of money to spend but still wants to pay for a portion of the alcohol service. The contact person and the event planner will decide on the value of each ticket, based on the total amount of money the client has budgeted for this purpose. Tickets must be in increments of 25 cents. The customers can redeem these tickets at the bar. The customer will pay the difference of the ticket value and the actual price of the beverage.

Open Bar Package #3104 is used to order drink tickets and Cash Bar Package #3103 is used for the cash purchases.

All beverage tickets for both options must be provided by Georgia Center Food Service.
