No kegs at banquet halls?

They cite that kegs contribute to more spills and more drunk and disorderly guests. I don't see how cans and bottles are any different. A tipped drink is going to spill no matter what. And if you drink enough of it you're going to get drunk.


I'm only bring this up cause the hall we rented won't allow kegs as we're looking to avoid paying so much in crv. Not too big of a deal but still silly.
 
Much higher profit margin for the banquet hall? Or is this a banquet hall that allows you to bring your own drinks?
 
See if they'll do a refundable cleaning deposit and permit you to bring a keg. If your guests make a mess, cleaning costs are covered; if not, you save on CRV (although I can't imagine the savings would be that big between the two). Also, do they have rules on who is permitted to serve? We rented a hall for our wedding reception and had to have a licensed bartender dispensing all alcohol (fortunately we have plenty of friends with OLCC cards). Seems like that could cut down on drunk and disorderly conduct; trained servers know when someone is too intoxicated to be served more alcohol. If you know someone with a California bartenders card that can serve, maybe that, in conjunction with the offer of a cleaning deposit, might make them more likely to let you bring a keg.

But hey, if they won't budge, at least look on the bright side; going the bottle route means you can offer a lot more variety. Three cases of five different beers is more interesting than one keg of one beer.
 
There's probably some valid logic there. I'm sure they may get some parties that _only_ serve kegged beer and those will tend to be sloppy, drunken messes.

Don't you get you money back on recycling deposits? Yeah, it's work for someone (ideally, enlist a kid), but you should recover most of it.

I always wonder if their weighing method was accurate.
