All alcoholic beverages will be provided by Penn State Hospitality Services (PSHS). 

Purchasing alcohol for ‘take out’ (for consumption off premises) at events is not permissible. All alcohol must be 

consumed in the location where the event is being held. 

Alcoholic beverage service will be terminated one-half hour before the scheduled end time of the event for the safety of all 

invited guests. 

PSHS requests an on-site contact person be designated for every event. This person should be authorized to act, in all 

instances, on behalf of the entire organization or group holding the event. 

Alcoholic beverage service may not be provided for more than 5 hours throughout the course of any single event, (i.e.) 

1 hour reception followed by 4 hours of alcoholic beverage service or, if no alcoholic beverage service is provided through 

dinner, beverage service could be provided from the point of re-opening after dinner for no more than 4 more hours. 

Exceptions for events offering wine service with dinner and/or a champagne toast as part of a dinner may be reviewed by 

the General Manager of the hotel for consideration. Bars offering non-alcoholic beverages may be provided for the entire 

duration of any event &charged accordingly. 

ID verification is required for the table service of wine or champagne at all events where such services are provided 

regardless of the nature of the event or mix of attendees. 

ON-PREMISE PROCEDURES FOR OUTSIDE BEVERAGES 

Alcohol purchased from a vendor other than Penn State Hospitality Services may not be brought into the restaurants or 

event areas. Any guests who attempt to do so will be asked to leave the restaurant/event area & will not be 

permitted to return until they have disposed of the outside alcoholic beverage. 

Requests for the use of donated or special products must be reviewed in advance by the General Manager & are subject 

to a corkage fee if approved.

banquet function rooms. Beverages purchased in an event must remain in the event location. 

Hotel guests (not attending an active event) - May take an alcoholic beverage to another area of the hotel, e.g. to their 

room or other public areas of the hotel for consumption within the property. No more than 2 drinks may be taken out of 

the licensed establishment by any one hotel guest at any given time. 

Alcoholic beverages cannot be taken out of the hotels with the exception of a re-corked, unfinished bottle of wine that was 

purchased with a meal consumed on the premises per PLCB regulation.

beverages will be prosecuted.
