Your Experiences with BYOB Clubs
Sunday, June 24, 2012 7:29 PM
I must say that all the states where I have gone clubbing it has either been full bar or full nude. The laws were written so that there was no particular advantage to a BYOB club. So I am looking to tap your experience. If you have multiple answers say which one you think it reasonably should be.
1. Do you have to declare your alcohol at the door? Do you maintain possession of it?
2. What are you charged and what do you get for it?
3. Presuming that they charge extra for mixers how are they served? In a partly filled glass or in a bottle/can? Reasonably speaking, what would you expect to pay for something like a tonic water or club soda or even bottled water? Should they include more complex mixers like Bloody Mary Mix and Margarita Mix or just stick to the basics?
4. Should they include more complex setups like, for example, a tequila shooters kit with shot glasses, lime wedges and salt? Or is that over complicating things? What would you regard as a fair price for something like that?
5. What if anything does the club staff do if you are leaving for your car intoxicated? Bear in mind that depending on state laws there could be a serious liability issue involved.
6. Is it important to have a liquor store located close? If so how close is acceptable? Would a delivery arrangement with a local liquor store be a nice feature?
Got something to say?
