cash bars

Buy your own

A cash bar is a bar at a wedding, party, or other event where guests pay for their own drinks rather than having them provided by the host.

The term usually appears in event planning contexts: The reception will have a cash bar.

The opposite arrangement, where drinks are free to guests, is an open bar.
