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