Catering & Alcohol
2616 Commerce wants to give you the most flexibility possible in creating your perfect event. You may choose to use any caterer you like that is licensed and has insurance or use one of ours. We do not allow drop off of food. Your caterer must stay until all guests have been served and tables bussed of all food related items. If using real dinnerware and silverware your caterer is responsible for providing that and packing it all up at the end of the event.

ALCOHOL SERVICE
2616 Commerce is an Unlicensed Venue
You may bring in the alcohol to be served to your guests at no charge. This is referred to as a host provided bar. The alcohol may only be brought in by the person hosting the event and you are required to hire bartenders to serve you and your guests. All TABC rules and regulations still apply. All alcohol must be stored behind the bar and served by a bartender at all times. At the end of the night the bartenders will box up all of the left-over alcohol and you may pick it up the following day. No alcohol is allowed to leave the venue the night of the event. If you are NOT using a preferred caterer for food service, then you would be required to hire bartenders from one of our preferred alcohol vendors listed on our website.

Host provided bars are only allowed for invitation only private events. Events that are open to the public or charging admission to enter must get a Temp permit to sell alcohol from TABC. Please contact [email protected] for more information regarding alcohol service for ticketed events.
For Corporate Events, if you are using a preferred caterer, they can take care of all of your alcohol service needs. They offer hosted bars, cash bars with or without drink tickets and consumption pricing.
