BANQUET FACILITIES

Generally, parties of 24 attendees or fewer are accommodated in the general restaurant area.   Upon advance arrangements, an event with fewer than 25 attendees can be served in a private or semi-private room.  However, there is a minimum food purchase requirement of $250. 

Parties of 40 or more must be served by buffet or banquet dining.   On Friday or Saturday nights, Parties of more than 30 must be served by buffet or banquet dining.

Parties of fewer than 37 may order from the menu

While Amber Jack Alehouse does not charge an additional amount for a room, a deposit of $100 is required to reserve a room.  The deposit may either be used towards the bill or returned the night of the event. If an event is cancelled within 48 hours prior to the scheduled event, and the event is not rescheduled within 3 months, the $100 deposit is forfeited to Amber Jack Alehouse.

Gratuity for the servers will be added to the bill at the rate of 18 percent.  Additional gratuity is at the discretion of the event goers

·                     BUFFETS:

Buffet Menus must be prearranged at least 7 days ahead of the event.   Changes or additions to the event must be made prior to 48 hours before the event.  An accurate count of the attendees must be made by 48 hours prior to the event

Buffet meals are collected as one ticket.  (No individual tickets)  Alcohol sales can be collected on an individual basis if the host or hostess so desires.  However, an 18% gratuity may be added to each individual drink price.

Pricing for Buffets is set according to each individual event menu.  The base price for a buffet is determined by the number of attendees in the final count made by the host 48 hours prior to the event.  There is a minimum charge for 25 people.  However, if the actual number of event attendees exceeds the base number, an additional charge at the rate of a “per person” pricing will be added to the final bill.  All event attendees (except children in high chairs or car seats) are counted in the billing total. 

Because we guarantee enough food for the event and actually prepare excess, event goers may not take the food remaining at the end of the event with them.

·                     BANQUET DINING:

Banquet dining is a prearranged menu for an event in which every person is served the same meal.  Banquet dining may be arranged for any number of people. 

Pricing for Banquet Dining is set according to each individual event menu.  The base price for an event is determined by a number for which Amber Jack Alehouse is instructed to prepare food to serve the attendees.  However, if the actual number of event attendees exceeds the base number, an additional charge at the rate of a “per person” pricing will be added to the final bill.

Banquet dining Menus must be prearranged at least 7 days ahead of the event.   Changes or additions to the event must be made prior to 48 hours before the event. 

·                     MENU ORDERING:

  Parties of 40 or fewer may order from the menu. (Except Friday or Saturday evenings, when Parties of 30 or fewer may order from the menu)

Individual checks are allowed for parties that order from the menu; however, individual checks may not be transferred from one table to another for collection.

Because Amber Jack Alehouse does not have a room charge, there is a minimum food purchase for each attendee which is equivalent to the price of a sandwich, plus tax and tip ($10).  In addition, if the total Tab for all attendees does not meet or exceed $250 (not including tax and tip), the person who made the reservation will be charged the difference. 

Because we do not have outlets in the floor, and extension cords in the dining area are forbidden, we are not equipped to accommodate a projector or PC to show on a screen.  However, if we are notified ahead of time, we can set up a CD or DVD to one of our TVs. 

Because we do not have soundproof walls between the banquet rooms and the dining rooms, we cannot accommodate amplifiers, loud speakers, or personal music.

We have dinner music playing low on the speakers in the room.  If this would interfere with a meeting, it can be turned off.  However, we need advance notice of this request.

Our Banquet rooms are arranged using round tables that seat up to 10 people each.  All efforts by Amber Jack Alehouse Staff will be made to accommodate table arrangement requests; however, these needs must made known to Amber Jack Alehouse at least 48 hours in advance.  Tables may not to be moved by the event attendees. 

We try to provide an appropriate atmosphere for each type of event.  However, if a host/hostess would like to bring their own decorations, they are certainly welcome.  Please arrive at least one hour prior to the arrival of your guests to add your own signature.  If the decorations are other than table top or wall hangings, please let us know.

If there is extensive clean up from the decorations or wrapping paper, there may be a janitorial fee.

We do not allow lit candles or confetti.

Amber Jack Alehouse can provide a variety of desserts to top off your guests dinner.  If a host wishes to serve their own dessert, accommodations may be made.  Please check with Amber Jack Alehouse first.  We reserve the right to add a plate charge for each attendee.
