How much alcohol do you need for 150 guests? For a 4 hour party with 150 guests, you will need approximately 600 drinks: 240 beers, 216 glasses of wine (44 bottles) and enough for 144 individual cocktails (amounts will depend upon what type of cocktail you serve). If you aren't serving wine, plan on 360 cocktails.
So as guide, if you have 100 guests, you will need around 50 bottles of wine (mix of red and white.) Plus around 300 pints/bottles of lager, beer and cider.
One advantage is that it creates a lively and festive atmosphere, allowing guests to relax and enjoy themselves without worrying about paying for drinks. Additionally, an open bar can be seen as a generous gesture by the couple, making guests feel appreciated and valued.
Our catering company's rule of thumb was 1 per every 75 guests. We had 2 with 150 heavy drinking guests and worked out great, no lines! I will say they pre-batched our signature drinks so that kept the lines from forming.
The license is valid for 12 months from the date it is issued. After 12 months, it expires.
For example, a typical selection for a party of 100 people would be 400 standard drinks, distributed in this way: 200 – 12oz. bottles or cans of beer (400 x 50% = 200 drinks. 200 divided by 1 = 200 bottles.)
For example, if you have 100 guests and they will be drinking for about 3 hours, the math would be this: 100 guests X 3 glasses an hour (have to assume this metric) = 300 glasses of wine. 1 Bottle = 6 glasses, so 300/6 = 50 bottles of wine. 12 bottles = 1 case, so you will need a little more than 4 cases of wine.
Event rental companies rent out taller tables for use as a bar, or actual portable bars designed for just this purpose, but a regular table works fine too. For the tables, it's nice to get a long tablecloth to hide any cases or coolers.
For a 4 hour party with 100 guests, you will need approximately 400 drinks: 160 beers, 144 glasses of wine (29 bottles) and enough liqueur for 96 individual cocktails (amounts will depend upon what type of cocktail you serve). If you aren't serving wine, plan on 240 cocktails.
Full bar – Beer, wine and liquor: 100 (guests) x 5 (hours) = 500 drinks. 500 x 0.33 = 170 beers or 7 cases of beer or one ½ barrel sized keg. 500 x 0.33 = 150 glasses of wine, /5 glasses per bottle= 37 bottles of wine. 500 x 0.33 = 150 mixed drinks, /39 servings per 1.75 bottle = four 1.75ml bottles liquor.
