BAR INFORMATION
How much do I buy for the bar?
Formula for # of Drinks
One Drink per Guest per hr. X Number of Bar Hours
Example: 150 guests with the bar open for 4 hours = 600 total drinks
For example, if you have a full bar (beer, wine and mixed drinks), the mixed drinks typically go first. You could estimate 45% mixed drinks, 40% beer and 15% wine. If it’s just beer and wine on the menu, you could consider 70-80% Beer and 20-30% Wine.
WATER = 2 to 3 bottles per person
150 (Guests) x 4 (Hours) = 600 Drinks 600 x 45% = 270 Mixed Drinks 600 x 40%= 240 Cans of Beer 600 x 15%= 90 Glasses Wine
This is subjective according to the likes of your guests, if you have more wine drinkers then up the percentage of wine and lower the percentage of beer..etc. Other things to buy: At least 120 lbs ice in buckets/coolers (3 20lbs ice can fit in our freezer), or we are close to gas stations or Meijer for ice (1-2 miles away) Drink napkins Mix drink garnishes (we have dishes and tongs available) Mix drink mix-ins (we have liquor pour spouts available) 600 - 9-10 oz clear cups We have bar signs and tip jars available We have wine and can openers available
