See below for correction. I mistook the minimum requirements and got clarification. 2 options at around $20/person total are listed below

I've finally talked with the events coordinator at the Thirsty Bear in San Francisco. They close the main bars/etc at 10pm, so I am scheduling 7-10pm. Linked to you'll see the banquet food menu (cannot order from dinner menu) and the policies. The general deal is that the bar-tab minimum is $15/person, and thats beyond the $125 for the bartender for the 3 hours. We have to give them an updated head count by August 2nd, and at 50-persons now, they expect $750. If we do not reach that on the bar tab, we will have to make up the difference, so people had better drink up to compensate for those water-only guests! Sadly, they do have the food minimum, and the food is on one bill. There is a $20/person food minimum, so we are looking at least at ordering two of their dishes, and so the cost per person, at this stage, is $15 + $20 = $35. I won't have to pay anything up front, but I'll need to cover the food, bartender, gratuity (20% + 8% tax) and any defiency at the end of the event. All combined, its $1750 before grat/tax.

Based on 50 guests Option #1 $125/No host bar set-up fee $15 per person/Bar tab minimum = $750 2 tapas platters of your choice (I recommended our Albondigas (spanish meatballs) $75 & Patatas Pimenton (crispy red potatoes w/blue cheese aioli on the side) $80. = $1030 = $20.60 per person (tax and service charge are not included on the food, estimate = $46.81) Or Option #2 $125/No host bar set-up of fee (no bar minimum) $20 per person in food = $1000 = $1125 = $22.50 per person (tax and service charge are not included on the food, estimate = $302.00) Considering the majority interest is in the bear/drinks, I think the first option is more ideal. Everybody pays for their bear, and chips in around $6.00 for the appetizers, but those appetizers won't "scale" that well :) _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
