No. Beverages purchased outside of the North Garden Theater are not allowed to be brought in. Our St. Paul liquor license does not allow for it.

Usually when the bar is in operation, we set up a self-serve water station at the bar. If you need water service at your tables, you'll have to work with your caterer. We also have a drinking fountain located near the bathrooms.

Customizing the bar selection is no longer an option. We strive to provide a selection of soft drinks, tap beer, wine, and spirits that would accommodate most of our guest's needs.

However, to add a touch of personality to your event - we allow you to re-name our house cocktails. You can choose names for three cocktails and one mocktail. These names must be provided within at least one week of your event and are subject to the approval of NGT Staff.

The North Garden Theater bar features a menu of successful in-house cocktail / mocktail recipes. While we don't allow our clients to change these recipes or make up their own, we do allow the names of these drinks to be changed to reflect the personality or theme of the event.

Yes! We sell a variety of candy along with popcorn. We don't ALWAYS have popcorn. If you would like popcorn at your event, please let us know. We can also order food and pizzas from local area restaurants. For more extensive food needs, you would work with a caterer.

Yes! We will have one or two bartenders and sometimes a bar back depending on the size of the crowd.

Typically, we use compostable plastic cups. Our soft drinks, beer, and highball mixed drinks use a 12 ounce cup. Our lowball drinks, shots, and wine use a 9 ounce cup.

Glass glasses and stemware can be used at the bar but must be arranged through a rental company or caterer.

Absolutely. Just let us know if you have a preference on brand and/or taste and how many bottles you need and we'll provide a custom pice quote. We do not have glass champagne flutes - those would need to be supplied or rented from a rental company or provided by a caterer. We DO have compostable champagne flutes for an additional charge. Our liquor license does not allow us to release bottles out of the bar.

A hosted bar is when the party renting the space pays for a portion of the bar tab, allowing their guests to drink for free at the bar. A cash bar is when the bar is operating normally and guests pay for their own drinks.

The North Garden Theater bar is very flexible when it comes to arranging a hosted bar or using drink tickets. You can host the bar for a pre-set amount of time or up to an agreed upon (pre-tax) dollar amount. You can also limit the hosted bar to categories of beverages like "beer and wine only" or "soft drinks only."

Drink tickets are another great way to give your guests a free drink or drinks. You have to decide what beverage categories will be included with your drink ticket. Will they cover all beverages or just certain categories like beer and wine? At the beginning of the night, we will ask you to put a credit card on hold with the bar. We will collect the drink tickets at the bar and keep a running tab of the actual costs. At the end of the night, we will present you with the total cost and process your payment at the bar.

Guests can open tab at the North Garden Theater bar by leaving their credit/debit card with the bartender. If a guest leaves before picking up their credit card, the staff will close out the tab and process the payment with a service fee of 15%.

A hosted bar tab will have an automatic 15% service fee added on to the total.

Hosted bar sales and/or drink ticket sales DO apply to your drink minimum if applicable.

We usually have a tip jar or two on the bar for cash tips. You can also easily add a tip to a credit card transaction. Your tips are appreciated! Most people usually tip a dollar per drink.

If you are hosting the bar and do not want the tip jars out, we charge a minimum 15% service fee on all bar sales. You are always welcome to add more if our stellar service calls for it!
