BAR

Welcome to Clementine!

Please let the venue manager know if you do not find the bar in a clean condition.

It's great having you in our space! As one of a small number of approved vendors, we have some requests of you in order to keep Clementine clean for the next event.

TRASH: Remove all trash. Break down boxes and put other trash in trash bags (found in the basket under the sink or on the shelves in the kitchen) before putting them in the dumpster in the alley. It is imperative that you break down boxes as we may have multiple events in a row and boxes will fill the dumpster. Rinse garbage cans in the kitchen. (Hose adapter for the sink is on the wall by the sleeves.). Return trash cans to bar with new trash bags. Do not drag trash cans over the hardwood floors. Bartenders are responsible for floor repair costs (yes this has happened).

COUNTERS / SINKS:
Wipe down the counters, shelves and other flat surfaces, including inside the cooler and cubbies.  Finish with glass for a nice shine.

WALLS:  
Wipe off any spills.

ICE MACHINES:
There is an ice maker directly above the kitchen, off the main hall as well as one behind the bar . Do not but bags of ice or anything else in the ice maker. Leave ice scoop on the top of the ice machine, not in it.

FLOORS:  
Sweep + mop. Use the floor mop pad and the laminate floor cleaner in the under sink cabinet.

REMOVE: All alcohol must be boxed and removed together with all other items.

CHECK-OUT with venue manager before leaving. We appreciate you + look forward to seeing you soon!

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BAR

What if we need something?

If you have any question, ask the venue manager. Need microfiber towels, broom or mop? Where's the bathroom (downstairs by the kitchen)?

Are we allowed to bring in alcohol for the client?

If you are merely picking it up (and the client paid the store for it), then yes. You may not sell alcohol packages or otherwise mark up alcohol at the venues. We are strictly BYO alcohol. We are extremely serious about this.

What are you expectations of the bar?

We expect the bar to be staffed at a ratio of 1 bartender for every 50 guests or so. The bar should be visually appealing and well kept during the event.

What if the beer / wine arrived warm?

We try to prevent that (we talk to all big liquor stores, coordinators, clients, etc.), but if it arrived warm, the only way to address this is to ice drinks in the ice wells. Please do not put warm beer and wine in the refrigerator as it will never cool that much down in a few hours (no fridge made can!).

What is the mopping procedure?

You must use the vinyl floor cleaner (and ONLY the vinyl floor cleaner) under the sink.

Can we let guest serve themselves?

No. All alcohol must be served by a bartender. This includes champagne walls and wine at dinner. We are extremely serious about this.

What is the venue policy for inebriated guests?

All bartenders at the venue must have an active ABC card and follow all related liquor laws, including not serving inebried guests. We expect bartenders to manage guest alcohol consumption without the venue managers becoming involved.

Can we leave before the event is over?

If beverage service is over and you've checked out with the venue manager, then yes. Otherwise, we require at least a skeleton crew to bus beverages.

When is last call?

Last call is the earlier of 15 minutes before guest departure time or the time set by the coordinator/ client.

Can we put out a tip jar?

Sorry, but we do not allow tip jars and your catering/ bartending company knows this rule. Tips must come from the client.

Are shots allowed?

No. Shots are not appropriate for events held here. Shots are any drink or mix in any glass designed to down in a single sip. We all know them when we see them.

Are we permitted to serve alcohol to vendors?

No.

Can we use the dressing room?

The dressing rooms are for client and band use only, sorry.

Where should we park?

Staff should park in Richland Park or on the street well away from the building so that guest may park closer. If you have parked in the alley, please re-park your car. Please be careful crossing Charlotte Ave at night.

Are we allowed to take alcohol home or give it to another vendor?

No. Any alcohol not taken by the client must remain at the building.

The bar area is under video surveillance for liability purposes and enforcement of the above policies.
