Please note: We do not wash dishes.
Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol will be served in accordance with Georgia State Liquor laws and regulations. The Servicer will not serve alcohol to minors (anyone under the legal age of 21 years). The Servicer will require proof of age (I.D.) for all guests of a questionable age partaking in alcoholic beverages. The Servicer will not be held liable for minors who consume alcohol during the event given by another adult.
Our bartenders are TAM-certified (Techniques of Alcohol Management). However, the host of the event is ultimately responsible for all invited guests and their actions. Southern Sips reserves the right to refuse service to any guest(s) who seem to have had too much to drink, per our judgment. Southern Sips works with you to make the call.
