Hosted Bar

A hosted bar (also called open bar) is an event arrangement where the host pays for all attendee drinks, eliminating individual purchases. Common at corporate events, weddings, and high-end conferences. Modern hosted-bar pricing structures: per-hour ($25-$45/person/hour for premium), per-drink ($8-$15/drink), or all-inclusive packages (premium spirits + wine + beer for $45-$80/person for the evening).
