Bar Service

Bar charges are based on consumption. We will work with you to determine the type of bar arrangement you would like to offer for your guests’ responsible enjoyment. We'll help you plan any arrangement that fits your needs:

• "open bar" [where you pay]
• "open bar" for beer and wine; cash bar for liquor [very popular]
• "open bar" with a time limitation then convert to "cash bar"
• wine during dinner
• "open bar" with a certain budgeted amount or time frame, then convert to cash bar

In most instances, the following pricelist will be used (plus tax and gratuity). If you plan on an "open bar for beer & wine", a popular choice, the average cost per person at Mountain Meadows has been ~$25 per person for a Friday night event and ~$29 per person for a Saturday event.

• Liquor: $8.50-$10.00 and up; cordials and brandies – various prices
• Wine: $8 - $10 per glass of wine (depends on the wine chosen)
• Beer: most for $6
• Soft drinks, lemonade, ice-teas – $2.50 and up

And speaking of wine, we can get pretty much any wine that you like, but here is a list of house wines. We've chosen wines that donate a portion of sales to a charity. Each glass of wine you and your guests consume goes to help a cause!

• One Hope Chardonnay, funds clinical trials for women with breast cancer (1 woman for every 4 cases sold)
• Trinity Oaks Pinot Grigio – Environment: For every bottle sold they plant a tree
• One Hope Sauvignon Blanc – Environment: partnering with American Forests, every bottle sold plants a tree
• Handcraft Winery Malbec – Supporting breast cancer research, prevention, and awareness programs
• One Hope Merlot – Provides medicine to underprivileged children for disease prevention
• Soul Sister Pinot Noir, and California 37 Cabernet Sauvignon -- From Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co. Together with winemaker James Foster & the band Train they donate the proceeds from the sales to support the Family House, a non-profit that provides temporary housing to families of sick children
• We also keep in-house a fine Shiraz, a Reisling, and a White Zinfandel

Our house beers are generally draft beers that you will choose, we'll probably help you choose one lighter and one darker. We'll generally have these Vermont beers in bottles: Long Trail Ale, Long Trail Limbo, Harpoon UFO White, Magic Hat #9, as well as Guinness, Sam Adams Rebel IPA, Bud, Bud Light, Corona, and some others. You can certainly request your favorite beer as well. We generally stock Woodchuck hard cider.
