Event policy

Applies to every Open Bar Co event in Connecticut, including the first night at 144 Temple. Last updated 9 November 2026.

The short version Private event, invited guests only, 21 and over with valid ID. Drinks are included in your ticket but served one at a time and metered per guest. Staff can refuse or stop service to anyone. Open bar never means unlimited.

1. This is a private event

Each night is a private, ticketed event hosted by the venue named on the ticket. Admission is limited to invited guests. For the 144 Temple night, invited guests are active students of Connecticut colleges and universities who are 21 or older, and their invited guests who are 21 or older. A ticket is an invitation to the event; it is not a public offer of alcohol.

2. Who serves the alcohol

All alcohol is sold and served by the venue and its permittee under the venue’s Connecticut liquor permit, in accordance with the Connecticut Liquor Control Act (Connecticut General Statutes, Title 30) and the regulations of the Department of Consumer Protection, Liquor Control Division. Open Bar Co is a ticketing and booking platform. It does not sell, serve, pour or supply alcohol, and it is not the permittee.

3. Age and identification

You must be 21 or older to enter and to be served.
Valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification is required at the door and may be re-checked at any time.
Guests who cannot produce acceptable ID will be refused entry with no refund.
Passing drinks to anyone under 21 ends your night and the night of the person you served.

4. What “open bar” means

Your ticket includes the drinks listed for your tier, during the posted pour window, served responsibly. Specifically:

Drinks are served one per guest at a time. No doubles, no rounds for the table, no carrying drinks to others.
Service is metered: the venue sets a maximum number of drinks per guest per hour, shown on the listing and enforced by wristband or stamp.
Last call is 30 minutes before the posted end of the pour window. Service ends at the posted time regardless of when you arrived.
Non-alcoholic drinks and water are available all night at no charge.
Open bar does not mean unlimited service, and it never includes service to anyone who is or appears intoxicated.

5. Right to refuse

Venue management, bartenders and security may refuse entry, refuse or stop service, or remove any guest at any time, for any reason, including appearing intoxicated, aggressive or disruptive behaviour, inability to produce ID, or failure to follow staff instructions. No refund is owed in these cases.

6. House rules

No outside alcohol. No alcohol leaves the premises.
Respect the staff, the space and the other guests.
Do not drive after drinking. Rideshare and taxi information is posted at the door.
The venue’s own posted rules apply alongside this policy.

7. Tickets and refunds

A ticket admits one named guest. Bring the door code or QR shown on your ticket.
If a night is cancelled by the venue, every ticket is refunded in full.
Tickets are otherwise non-refundable once the night is confirmed, and are not refunded if you are refused entry or service under sections 3 or 5.
Where a night has a minimum ticket threshold, no one is charged unless that threshold is reached.

8. Changes

The venue may adjust the pour window, drink limits or tier contents for safety or legal reasons. Material changes will be posted at the door and, where we have your email, sent to you before the event.
