No, we do not permit serving of any liquor without a mixer or ice. This is the rule at most venues as it is a liability issue. On a positive note, forgoing shots will also save tons on your liquor costs.
At this time we do not have the liquor license required to sell alcohol. We do carry $2 million in liquor liability insurance and $2 million in general liability insurance that many venues require for open bar service. STBS can however exchange tickets for drinks that are prepaid.

Yes! Let us take some of that weight off your shoulders. We can provide alcohol pick up for an additional fee. All you must do is contact your local providers, purchase the alcohol, and let them know that we will be picking it up for you!

Of course! Reach out and we will give you a good idea of how much alcohol you should order. These recommendations are based on averages. Since we do not know your guests personally nor do we know their exact consumption rate or preferences, there's no way for us to tell you exactly how much to purchase. We can only provide a recommendation or suggestion, but unfortunately not a guarantee. Please adjust accordingly based on your knowledge of your guests. Most stores will return unopened beverages with receipt if there are any leftovers. Please check the store’s return policies before purchasing.
