Private Event Policies

A clear guide to booking, billing, guest arrangements, cancellations, and rescheduling.

Deposit and Food and Beverage Minimum

Thank you for choosing The Frisco Barroom for your event. To reserve your date, we require a deposit equal to 50% of the agreed-upon Food and Beverage Minimum when you pay your event invoice. The deposit is non-refundable once paid.

Food & Beverage Minimum and Final Billing

Food and beverage purchases alone count toward your agreed minimum. Sales tax and the 20% service charge are additional and do not count toward the minimum. The service charge applies to the full food and beverage amount, before your deposit is credited.

Your event is billed on one check. The full deposit is credited to the final bill, and the remaining balance, including tax, service charge, and any additional charges, is due at the conclusion of the event.

Outside Food and Beverages

Guests may bring a cake or dessert with a prior written request. An outside cake fee of $2 per person applies. All other outside food, beverages, and alcohol require prior written approval from The Frisco Barroom management. The corkage fee is $15 per bottle.

Decorations and Additional Equipment

Decorations, signage, audiovisual equipment, specialized lighting, and other added equipment require advance restaurant approval. The host is responsible for setup and for damage to restaurant property, fixtures, or walls caused by unauthorized items or improper installation.

Circumstances Beyond Our Control (Force Majeure)

The Frisco Barroom is not responsible for being unable to safely host an event because of circumstances beyond our control, such as natural disasters, public emergencies, government restrictions, utility outages, or other unforeseeable and unavoidable events. If these circumstances prevent us from hosting, the closure and rescheduling credit terms below apply.

Guest Conduct and Legal Compliance

The host and guests must follow applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, licensing requirements, and responsible alcohol consumption policies.

Acknowledgment of Policies

A written signature is not required. Payment of your event invoice acknowledges acceptance of these private event policies, including the card-on-file authorization below.

Cancellation and Rescheduling

You cancel 14 or more days before the event
We keep the full 50% deposit. There is no additional cancellation charge. No refund or credit.

You cancel fewer than 14 days before the event
We keep the full deposit and charge the card on file for the remaining balance of the 100% food and beverage minimum, plus any tax required by law. No refund or credit.

We close because of severe weather or circumstances beyond our control
We apply the deposit as a 100% rescheduling credit. You must select a new date within 14 calendar days of receiving notice. The rescheduled event must occur within 180 calendar days of the original event date, subject to our availability.

We cancel for an operational reason within our control
We first offer you the option to reschedule, subject to availability. If you decline or no suitable date is available, we provide a full refund of all event amounts paid directly to us, including the deposit. You will not be charged for event-specific purchases or third-party costs arranged by us. You are not required to reschedule.

Special Orders and Outside Costs

You are responsible for the actual cost of event-specific items, services, rentals, equipment, supplies, and other purchases that we order or arrange at your request or specifically for your event. If those costs cannot be canceled, returned, or refunded, they remain due in addition to the deposit or cancellation charge. This does not apply when we cancel for an operational reason within our control.

Cancellation Notice

Please send all cancellation notices by email to events@thefriscostl.com. Your cancellation takes effect when we receive the email, not when it is sent.

Changing Your Event Date

You may request one date change by emailing us at least 30 calendar days before the scheduled event. Date changes depend on our availability. If we approve the change, we will apply your deposit to the new event date. A request received fewer than 30 calendar days before the event, or a request for a second date change, will be treated as a cancellation under this policy.

No Shows

If you do not appear for or hold the scheduled event and we have not approved a date change, we will treat the event as a cancellation made fewer than 14 days before the event. The deposit, Food and Beverage Minimum, any tax required by law, and special-order costs described above will apply.

Weather When the Restaurant Remains Open

If we remain open and able to host your event, weather, travel problems, or lower attendance do not reduce the amount due. If you cancel or do not hold the event under these circumstances, the cancellation or no-show terms above will apply.

Card on File Authorization

By paying your event invoice, you authorize The Frisco Barroom to charge the card on file for cancellation amounts, any tax required by law, and the special-order or outside costs due under this policy.

Using a Rescheduling Credit

A rescheduling credit may be used once, cannot be transferred, has no cash value, and may be used only by the person or organization that accepted the original event agreement. The credit expires if you do not select a new date within 14 calendar days after receiving notice or do not hold the rescheduled event within 180 calendar days of the original event date. We will offer replacement dates based on availability. If none of the available dates allow the event to occur within the 180-day period, the event and credit are forfeited, and no refund or cash payment will be provided.
