Venue Information
Beverages
Indiana State Law requires that only a licensed bartender may serve alcoholic beverages. Bartenders can be provided through the Legion Post. The fee for the bartender is $10.00 per hour if serving beer and soft drinks only. The fee for the bartender is $15.00 per hour if serving a full bar. The bartender must be paid the day/evening of the event with cash or check.
If you are providing your own bartender they must have a valid bartender's license, a temporary beer and wine permit issued by the Alcohol and Tobacco commission or have a Bona fide beverage caterer for any alcohol brought into the American Legion. The Canteen Manager must see the valid license and the bartender must have the license on his or her person when bartending. Bartenders may not serve alcoholic beverages anyone under the age of 21 and have the right to refuse service to anyone they feel has had too much to drink.
Decorations
In many cases, you can decorate the room the day before the event. Please check with the Canteen manager the week of the event to confirm the earliest time the room would be available. There will be no nails, thumbtacks, or tape used on the walls or ceiling. There will be no marbles, sand or glitter used. All candles must be enclosed, and all helium balloons must be tied down. All decorations must be removed the evening of the event, unless other arrangements are made. We will not be held responsible for any decorations left overnight.
