Alcoholic Beverage Service
The Vista Room currently does not sell alcoholic beverages. However, you may bring your own alcoholic beverages, and we can set up a table for the BYOB wine and beer during your event.
If you choose to provide your own alcohol for an event, alcoholic beverage service is subject to the following restrictions:
- Vista Room personnel cannot serve the beverages. It must be self-served or served by someone from your party.
- Only non-distilled alcohols are allowed.
Generally, this means beers (including ciders and malt beverages), wines (including sake and fortified wines such as port or sherry) are acceptable. University policy dictates that we cannot serve any form of distilled alcohols (spirits), including but not limited to vodka, rum, gin, scotches or liqueurs.
- Prior to the event your group must:
- fill out and submit the University Alcohol Clearance Form
- and the Special Events Questionnaire
- email to riskmgmt@sfsu.edu in Enterprise Risk Management.
- Please note Enterprise Risk Management requests two-weeks' advance notice to complete the form.
- You may deliver your inventory of alcoholic beverages to The Vista Room site no earlier than two days prior to the event.
- You must arrange to pick up any unused portion of alcohol within one week.
