FAQs — Bar Packages
What is the dress code for your bartenders?
Our bartenders are required to wear all black, with hair pulled back and closed-toed shoes. Sleeveless and spaghetti-strapped tops are not permitted.
Can I bring in outside alcohol?
Per Ohio ABC laws, all alcoholic beverages must be purchased and provided by The Elliot. No alcoholic beverages can be brought into a licensed area from outside sources. Violation of this policy will first result in a warning. Repeated offenses will result in a $500 fine and possible removal from the event.
Can I substitute an item on the beer stock list?
Pending availability through our distributors, you are welcome to substitute a beer, wine, or liquor brand on our list with a brand of your choice. The requested item must be of similar price and will incur a $50 stocking fee. Requested items of dissimilar price may incur an additional charge.
Do you serve non-alcoholic drinks or mocktails?
Our bartenders can create a variety of mocktails with the soft drinks and mixers provided with our bar packages. You are welcome to add a non-alcoholic beverage that is not on our list to our package. Please inquire for pricing.
Alternatively, you are welcome to provide a couple of cases or bottles of non-alcoholic beverages to be served by our bartenders during your event at no additional charge.
Can I provide my own garnishes, juices, etc.?
Of course! Clients are welcome to supply their own non-alcoholic drinks & mixers with prior approval.
If I have the Taphouse package, can I add a cash bar for liquor?
Absolutely! Our guest-pay bar is cashless and accepts all major credit cards, Apple Pay & Google Pay. We will stock liquor, mixers, and garnishes and serve classic cocktails and mixed drinks at market rates for your guests to purchase. Our liquors include Vodka, Gin, Tequila, Rum, Whiskey, and Scotch.
What time does the bar close?
Last call will be announced 30 minutes prior to the end of your event. Service will end 5 minutes prior to the end of your event.
How does tipping work?
Our bartenders accept cash and Venmo tips during service and will display tip jars and QR codes.
If you'd like to tip our bartenders on behalf of your guests, let us know and guests will be notified that gratuity has been graciously covered by their host. Removing tip jars from the bar requires a payment of 15% of your final beverage package, paid via cash or check.
Payment can be made via check or cash and will be due before the start of your event.
