PRIVATE BUYOUT

PRIVATE BUYOUTS

A Private Buyout gives you exclusive use of BASH for your celebration. During your event, BASH is closed to the public and dedicated exclusively to you and your guests.

Rather than bundling everything into a large food-and-beverage minimum, BASH keeps the Private Buyout Fee and Beverage Minimum separate. This gives you greater flexibility to choose your food, entertainment, décor and event enhancements based on your preferences and budget.

All Private Buyout hours are consecutive. Late arrival, delayed vendor setup, delayed food service, changes to the event timeline or a late event start do not extend the contracted event period.

SIGNATURE EVENT BAR

Private Buyouts have access to our Signature Event Bar, featuring a curated selection of cocktails and wines for $15 each.

Choose one of our favorite combinations or create your own menu with:

  • Four selections from our Signature Cocktails

  • One Spritz

  • One White, Rosé or Sparkling Wine

  • One Red Wine

All beverages are individually rung through the BASH point-of-sale system at the applicable menu price and applied toward your Beverage Minimum.

Signature Event Bar selections are charged at the $15 Signature Event Bar price. All other beverages are charged at regular menu prices.

The Signature Event Bar is not an open bar, unlimited beverage package or prepaid drink package. Every beverage served is individually charged and applied toward your Beverage Minimum.

Combined maximum capacity is 145 guests.

Includes:

  • Full use of Party Baby for guests

  • Additional event and entertainment space

  • One additional dedicated bartender

  • Combined capacity of up to 145 guests

For a Saturday Private Buyout with Party Baby added, the combined Beverage Minimum increases to $3,000. Beverages purchased in either venue count toward the combined minimum.

The Party Baby fee, beverage purchases or applicable Beverage Minimum shortfall, and other event charges are subject to the applicable 20% service charge and sales tax.

HOW THE BEVERAGE MINIMUM WORKS

BEVERAGE MINIMUM — NOT AN OPEN BAR OR BEVERAGE PACKAGE

The Beverage Minimum is separate from the Private Buyout Fee and is not prepaid.

The Beverage Minimum is not a prepaid beverage package, per-person beverage package, open bar, unlimited-drink package or credit for a predetermined number of beverages.

It is simply the minimum dollar amount the client agrees to spend on beverages during the contracted event.

Every alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage served is individually rung through the BASH point-of-sale system at the applicable menu price and applied toward the Beverage Minimum.

If beverage purchases are less than the contracted Beverage Minimum, the final beverage charge will be the full Beverage Minimum.

If beverage purchases meet or exceed the Beverage Minimum, the client pays the actual beverage total.

There is no maximum beverage spend created by the Beverage Minimum. Beverages purchased above the minimum are charged at their applicable menu prices and are the client's responsibility.

For example, a $2,500 Beverage Minimum does not mean beverages are included for $2,500 regardless of consumption. If guests consume $3,400 in beverages, the beverage charge is $3,400.

Selection of a Signature Event Bar menu determines which designated beverages are available at the Signature Event Bar price. It does not create an unlimited-drink package or cap beverage charges.

Any unused portion of the Beverage Minimum is non-refundable and has no cash or credit value.

BASH does not add a separate liquor-tax charge to your bar tab. BASH is responsible for the applicable Texas mixed beverage gross receipts tax associated with alcoholic beverage sales.

Applicable sales tax and the 20% service charge are additional.

WHAT DOES A PRIVATE BUYOUT ACTUALLY COST?

Here is an example of a Saturday celebration with 60 guests selecting a BASH Signature Event Bar Menu, with each guest enjoying approximately three Signature drinks:

60 Guests × 3 Signature Drinks × $15 = $2,700

Saturday 6-Consecutive-Hour Private Buyout Fee: $2,500

Estimated Beverage Spend: $2,700

Estimated Subtotal: $5,200

20% Service Charge: $1,040

Applicable Sales Tax: Additional

Approximately $104 per guest before applicable sales tax, including exclusive use of BASH for six consecutive hours and approximately three Signature drinks per guest.

This is an example only, not a beverage package or guaranteed event total. Actual beverage charges are based on actual beverages purchased.

Food, entertainment, décor and optional event enhancements are additional, allowing you to customize those elements based on your preferences and budget.

WHY IS THERE A PRIVATE BUYOUT FEE?

A Private Buyout is different from simply opening a large bar tab.

When you reserve BASH privately, we commit the entire venue to your event and close our doors to regular guests. We also prepare the venue and bar specifically for your celebration.

Your Private Buyout Fee helps cover:

  • Exclusive use of the entire BASH venue

  • Closing BASH to regular customers during your event

  • Standard pre-event venue communication and coordination

  • Vendor access within the included setup window

  • Event-specific alcohol purchasing and inventory preparation

  • Bar setup and stocking for your guest count

  • Staffing preparation and scheduling

  • Pre-event venue preparation and cleaning

  • Post-event breakdown, cleaning and reset

  • Credit-card processing expenses associated with event purchases

  • Operational costs associated with hosting a private event

The bar tab pays for the beverages your guests consume.

The Private Buyout Fee pays for the exclusive venue and the operations required to host your private event.

Keeping these costs separate gives our clients greater flexibility than requiring a significantly higher combined food-and-beverage minimum.

FOOD & CATERING

You're welcome to bring in food or catering of your choice, or let BASH curate a menu for your event.

CURATED CATERING BY BASH

Prefer to have us handle the food?

BASH can create a customized menu based on your event style, guest count and budget, then source and coordinate the catering for you.

When catering is arranged through BASH, there is no Outside Food Service Fee.

BRINGING YOUR OWN FOOD OR CATERER

You're also welcome to select and arrange your own food or caterer.

A $200 Outside Food Service Fee applies and includes reasonable assistance with food arrival and placement, post-event cleanup and additional trash removal.

The $200 Outside Food Service Fee is waived when BASH Event Support is added.

Food and catering purchases do not apply toward the Beverage Minimum or reduce the Private Buyout Fee.

BYOB is not permitted. All beverages must be purchased through BASH.

EVENT PLANNING & SUPPORT

You can keep things simple, bring your own professional event planner, or have BASH provide additional day-of assistance.

Standard venue support includes:

  • Management of BASH staff

  • Bar and venue oversight

  • Trash removal and general cleanup

  • Plate and glass pickup

  • Basic lighting adjustments

  • Music adjustments using our existing Spotify playlist and speaker system

  • Reasonable pre-event email correspondence

  • Coordination with BASH regarding venue access and logistics

  • Setup requirements

  • Vendor access and logistics

BASH remains responsible for the venue, bar operations and BASH staff.

PLANNER & VENDOR AUTHORITY

An event planner, coordinator, caterer, DJ, entertainer or other vendor does not have authority to modify the client's agreement with BASH unless BASH expressly approves the change.

Event hours, Beverage Minimums, Private Buyout Fees, service charges, setup and breakdown periods, bar policies, guest capacity and other contractual terms may not be changed verbally by a planner, vendor, guest or member of BASH event staff.

Any contractual modification must be approved by BASH and the contracting client.

Instructions from a planner or vendor cannot override BASH alcohol-service policies, last call, venue closing times, guest-capacity limits or other BASH operating policies.

NEED HELP FINDING A VENDOR?

VENDOR SOURCING & COORDINATION — $175 PER VENDOR

Need a DJ, musician, photographer, entertainer, florist, caterer or another event professional?

BASH can research, source and coordinate vendors on your behalf for a $175 Vendor Sourcing & Coordination Fee per vendor.

This fee covers BASH's time to research options, check availability and pricing, communicate with the selected vendor and coordinate event logistics.

The $175 is BASH's sourcing and coordination fee only. It is NOT the cost of the vendor.

The vendor's actual charges are separate and vary according to the professional and services selected.

You are always welcome to find and hire your own vendors. There is no BASH Vendor Sourcing & Coordination Fee for vendors you hire independently.

When hiring vendors independently, you or your event planner are responsible for pre-event communication, contracting, payment and coordination.

If BASH Event Support has been added, our manager can assist independently hired vendors with day-of arrival, setup and breakdown.

VENDOR ACCESS & SETUP

Complimentary vendor access is included prior to your contracted event start time:

  • Mini Private Buyout: Up to 1 hour prior

  • 4-Hour Private Buyout: Up to 2 hours prior

  • 6-Hour Private Buyout: Up to 3 hours prior

This time is intended exclusively for vendor arrival, décor installation, catering setup and other event preparation.

Vendor setup time is not additional event time. Guests may not enter or begin gathering at BASH during the setup period.

If guests arrive or the event begins early, additional event-time charges may apply, subject to BASH approval and availability.

Additional setup time may be arranged for $200 per hour, subject to availability.

EVENT HOURS, LAST CALL & VENUE CLEARING

All contracted event hours are consecutive.

A late event start, late guest arrival, delayed food service, delayed entertainment, vendor delay or other change to the client's event timeline does not extend the contracted event end time.

Last call takes place 20 minutes before the contracted conclusion of the event.

Bar service ends at the contracted event end time.

All guests must completely exit BASH by the contracted event end time and, in all cases, no later than 1:30 AM.

Vendors are permitted up to 30 minutes following the contracted event end time for breakdown and removal of approved décor, rentals, equipment and event materials.

All vendors, vendor personnel, décor, rentals, equipment and event materials must be completely removed from BASH no later than 2:00 AM.

The 1:30 AM guest departure and 2:00 AM vendor departure are absolute venue closing times. They cannot be extended by purchasing additional event time, by starting an event late or because of delays in the client's or vendor's event timeline.

ADDITIONAL EVENT TIME

Day-of additional event time may be added, subject to BASH approval, availability and venue operating hours, for $600 per hour.

Additional event time does not override BASH's absolute venue closing times.

This fee applies to BASH only and does not include overtime charged by DJs, entertainers, caterers, photographers, planners or other vendors.

Vendor overtime charges are the client's responsibility.

We recommend booking your full desired event time in advance.

The client is responsible for the cost of repairing or replacing BASH or Party Baby property damaged by the client, guests, vendors or event professionals.

BAR SERVICE & ALCOHOL POLICY

All bartenders are provided exclusively by the BASH hospitality team.

BYOB is not permitted. All alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages must be purchased through BASH.

Outside alcohol may not be brought into BASH by the client, guests, planners, caterers, vendors or other event professionals.

BASH controls all alcohol service. A client, planner, guest or vendor may not direct BASH staff to alter pours, provide complimentary alcohol, continue service after last call or serve a guest whom BASH has declined to serve.

BASH bartenders retain discretion over alcohol service and may refuse or discontinue alcohol service when appropriate or required by law or BASH policy.

Last call is 20 minutes before the contracted conclusion of the event.

Additional bartenders or service staff may be added for $75 per hour per staff member when requested by the client or required by BASH based on guest count, event format or service needs.

Special-Order Beverages — Full Buyouts Only

Special-order liquor, wine, and specialty beverages are available exclusively for full-venue buyouts and are subject to availability. All requests must be finalized and paid for at least 14 days before the event.

Special-order beverages are:

  • Priced and approved before purchase

  • Paid in full before the order is placed

  • Nonrefundable once ordered

Holiday and high-demand dates may be subject to premium pricing and additional minimum requirements.

This includes Thanksgiving week, December holiday dates, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and other dates when additional staffing or special scheduling may be required.

BOOKING & PAYMENT

Full Venue Buyout – Payment Terms

To secure a full venue buyout at BASH, the following payments are required at the time of booking:

  • Full Rental Fee: 100% of the venue rental fee, plus applicable sales tax, and a 20% service fee is due at the time of booking.

  • Beverage Minimum: The contracted beverage minimum must be met and paid on the night of the event, along with applicable taxes and service charges.

  • All advance payments are nonrefundable. If beverage purchases do not meet the contracted minimum, the remaining balance will be charged at the conclusion of the event.

A full venue buyout is not confirmed until the rental fee, applicable tax, and 20% deposit have been received.

The Beverage Minimum is not collected in advance.

During your event, every beverage is rung through the BASH point-of-sale system at the applicable menu price and applied toward the Beverage Minimum.

At the conclusion of the event:

  • If beverage purchases meet or exceed the Beverage Minimum, the client pays the actual beverage total.

  • If beverage purchases are below the Beverage Minimum, the client is charged the full contracted Beverage Minimum.

The remaining event charges, including beverages, Beverage Minimum shortfalls, food, additional services, overages, the 20% service charge and applicable sales tax, are charged to the credit card on file.

A valid credit card must remain on file.

By booking, the client authorizes BASH to process the final event balance and applicable contracted charges to the card on file.

The contracting client remains financially responsible for applicable event charges and overages, including authorized purchases made during the event.

Advance Reservations & Pricing

BASH accepts private event reservations up to 12 months in advance.

Rental rates and beverage minimums are subject to periodic increases and may vary based on the event date. Published pricing does not guarantee rates for future dates.

All reservations are subject to the rates quoted by BASH for the specific event date. Pricing is guaranteed only upon receipt of a signed agreement and full payment of the rental fee, applicable sales tax, and 20% service fee.

Once confirmed, contracted rates will not increase for the reserved event date. Date changes are subject to availability and current pricing.

CHANGES TO YOUR EVENT

Changes to guest count, event hours, venue usage, bar selections, food, staffing, rentals, furniture arrangements, Party Baby usage or other event details are subject to BASH approval and may result in additional charges or minimums.

No verbal statement or instruction from a planner, vendor, guest or staff member modifies the client's agreement with BASH.

Changes affecting contracted pricing, minimums, event hours or other material terms must be approved by BASH and the contracting client.

CANCELLATION & RESCHEDULING

CANCELLATION
