Bar Host Instructions

  1. The Dinner/Bar Host Committee Chair schedules the Bar Host following the liquor license requirement that bartenders be trained in serving alcohol and possess a current TAP card.
  2. The Bar Host chooses the drink special and determines the ingredients in the special and the amount needed. Check the inventory of items stocked in the bar closet. The Bar menu is on the Club website under Publications at www.juneauyc.org.
  3. The Bar Host may obtain special ingredients or ask the Commodore to provide them. If you wish to provide them and to be reimbursed, be sure to keep all receipts and give them to the Treasurer or money handler. If you prefer to donate them, thank you for the donation! Keep in mind that expensive, special ingredients should be refrained from purchasing for weekly special drinks. We only have so much space for liquor storage and charge a nominal fee for drinks. If there is a question about a special ingredient needed for a weekly special, please contact the Dinner/Bar Host Committee Chair.
  4. The Bar Host gives the drink special information to the Newsletter Editor by Sunday noontime so that it can be included in the newsletter regarding the upcoming event.
  5. On Tuesday evening, the Newsletter Editor will send an email with the number signed up for dinner. For Socials, you can assume that approximately 20 to 45 people will be attending. Generally, one Bar Host will be scheduled for Socials although, if over 45 are signed up, you may wish to ask a friend or acquaintance that has a TAP card on file to assist.
  6. For Quarterly Dinners, at least two Bar Hosts may be needed. The Bar Host is encouraged to ask a friend or acquaintance to assist. Remember that helpers must have a TAP card on file to serve alcohol or be behind the bar (near alcohol) according to state regulations. Also, no Members are allowed behind the bar, including the bar closet, unless it is the Money Taker retrieving items needed to sell and record chips or a Member with a TAP card on file helping the Bar Host.
  7. Bar Hosts and helpers are each entitled to 2 free drinks and 1 free dinner.
  8. Social Dinner hours are 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm with a last call at 6:45 pm.  Quarterly Dinner and Christmas Dinner hours start at 5:00 pm with a last call at the discretion of the Bar Host. The Bar Host should plan to be at the Club by at least 4:30 pm and be prepared to start serving at 5 pm.
  9. Access to the building can be arranged by texting the Commodore who can immediately disarm the alarm system and unlock the kitchen, pantry and entry door and liquor closet remotely.
  10. Non-members may not attend JYC sponsored events where alcoholic beverages are served unless they are registered guests of a Member who has agreed to host them. Club Members are responsible for having their guests sign-in, upon entry, in the guest book in the bar area with the Member host identified.
  11. Alcoholic beverages may not be purchased directly from the Bar Hosts. Bar Hosts may only serve alcoholic beverages to Members and Members’ Guests in exchange for JYC drink chips.
  12. Guests or the public may not purchase drink chips.  Guests may order drinks and use drink chips to receive alcoholic drinks directly from Bar Hosts.  Club Members may obtain alcoholic drink chips and gift them to their Guest(s).
  13. For both Socials and Quarterly Dinners, drink chips are sold by the Treasurer or money handler only to Members.  (Non-alcoholic drink chips for sodas, club soda and tonic may be purchased by Members and their Guests.)
  14. For Special Occasion Events where wine is to be included in the dinner cost and consumed during the dinner, Members must buy the dinner tickets (which include the purchase of the wine) for themselves and for their Guests. Only Members (not Guests) may obtain glasses of wine from the wine bar or regular bar. Members may then gift glasses of wine to their Guests. All bottles or carafes containing wine must remain at the wine bar or regular bar and may not be taken to the dinner tables or other areas.
  15. The Bar Host accepts chips in exchange for alcoholic beverages and places the chips in a container for counting at the end of the event.
  16. No Member under 21 may purchase drink chips. The Bar Host may need to ID individuals to assure they are at least 21. The Bar Host is responsible to ensure that Members and Guests under 21 do not consume alcoholic beverages at the Club.
  17. Bar Hosts on duty for an event cannot host a Guest at that event. They must find another Member to host such invitee as the other Member’s own Guest.
  18. Alcoholic beverages cannot be sold for consumption off premises and may not be consumed outside of the perimeter of the building and deck. All prepackaged alcoholic beverages must be opened and caps discarded by the Bar Host.
