Some would say that a party isn’t a party unless alcohol is involved.
No worries, we don’t judge.
Nonetheless, Studio 100 has a strict alcohol policy.
Alcohol Policy
Studio 100 demands strict adherence to state laws regarding alcohol consumption at the Venue. Studio 100’s Alcohol Policy will be posted at the front entrance of the Venue. If Renter elects to offer alcohol during the rental period, Renter must understand and adhere to the following:
- Law enforcement must be present at all rentals in which alcohol is being served. Renter must secure law enforcement directly through Studio 100. Securing law enforcement officials outside of the direct contacts of Studio 100 is prohibited.
- Studio 100 requires that all attendees of events in which alcohol is to be served must be at least 21 years of age, or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
- Studio 100 prohibits the sale of alcohol on the premises without a permit. If alcohol is sold during a rental period, Renter must: (1) obtain permission from Studio 100; and (2) obtain a temporary TABC permit that must be signed by Studio 100. NOTE: obtaining a temporary permit can be costly and takes time (usually 45-60 days, but sometimes longer).
- Renter may sell tickets for entrance into Renter’s event, but the tickets cannot be used to obtain alcoholic beverages at the event. Renter is prohibited from posting anything online or in print regarding the sale of alcohol at Renter’s event. If alcohol is mentioned, it must state that it is either free or BYOB (i.e. “bring your own beverage”).
As a temporary lessee of the Venue, Renter is permitted by law to provide free alcoholic beverages without a permit. However, to be truly “free” any alcohol that is served must be available to any individual over the age of 21. If free alcoholic beverages are only available to paying customers, the law assumes that the cost of the alcohol is included in the price of the service. In this case, the Renter would be “selling” the alcoholic beverages, and a permit would be required. In other words, when a Renter provides “free” alcoholic beverages, there cannot be any expectation of receiving money. The Renter cannot ask for a “donation” or “tip.”
- Any and all liabilities arising from the consumption of alcoholic beverages on Studio 100’s premises are the responsibility of the Renter. All Texas state laws and Federal Laws must be adhered to at all times.
- Renter may not serve alcohol to minors on Studio 100’s premises at any time. In addition, Renter must, for everyone’s safety, ensure that alcoholic beverages are consumed in a responsible manner. Studio 100 reserves the right, in its exclusive discretion, to expel anyone from the premises who, in its judgment, is intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or who otherwise engages in behavior that jeopardizes the rights of Studio 100 or the safety of its patrons, staff, guests, employees or property.
