Food, beverage, service charge, and all other incidentals (such as bartender fees for cash bar options or specialty linens) are subject to 5.5% Wisconsin sales tax. If your company is tax exempt, a copy of your tax-exempt certificate must be provided prior to final billing.

Deposits and Payments A deposit for half the food and beverage minimum is required to secure the upstairs space. This deposit will be applied toward the final bill. The deposit will be refunded in full for any cancellations made more than one month prior to the event date. Any cancellations within one month of the event date may result in the forfeiture of the deposit. In the event of extreme weather or other "acts of god" which result in closure of The Coopers Tavern, the deposit will be transferred to another date. If another date can not be settled, the full deposit may be refunded at the discretion of The Coopers Tavern. The full payment is due by the end of the event and may be paid by credit card, cash, or company check. Direct billing options are available to our corporate clients. Direct billing invoices are due within 30 days of the event.

Menus and Guest Counts All menus and guest counts (notated on the "planning worksheet") must be confirmed no later than 14 days prior to the scheduled event. We will order and prepare the amount of food for the number of confirmed guests and all staffing and charges will be based on this guest count. If a final menu and guest count is not received by the specified date, menu and guest count will be based off of initial conversations. It is our policy to quote a firm price for menu items no more than 90 days in advance. Prices do not include the 5.5% Wisconsin state sales tax or the 20% service charge.

Carry-In Food and Desserts With the exception of desserts produced in a State of Wisconsin licensed professional kitchen, all food and beverage served or consumed on the premises must be purchased, prepared, and served by The Coopers Tavern. No leftover food or beverage may be taken from the premises. We offer a variety of dessert options. However, you may bring in outside desserts from a State of Wisconsin licensed professional kitchen only. For any dessert brought onto the premises, a $25 flat fee will be included on the final bill. A cake cutting fee of $1 per person will be included for any cake brought in from a vendor. Additionally, you may place an order with Hubbard Avenue Diner which will not be subject to a carry-in or cake-cutting fee.

Candles may be used as long as they are enclosed. All displays, materials, signs, banners, and decorations must be removed prior to departure. No furnishings may be removed from the space.

Closing Policies All events have a 15 minute grace period beyond the agreed upon end time. If customers choose to stay at The Coopers Tavern, they are welcome to relocate to the downstairs bar if space allows.

Hosted Bar You may offer pre-determined beer, wine, and/or spirit options for your guests to choose from. As the host you may set a time frame for the hosted bar, or only offer these options until a certain dollar amount has been reached. Any beverages requested that are not on the hosted bar or without a drink token/ticket would be considered cash bar and must be settled by each individual guest.

Drink Tokens/Tickets Drink tokens/tickets may be requested in any quantity in advance of your event to be dispensed by you to your guests at your leisure. Tokens/tickets are not pre-purchased.
