re: Stock the Bar Party location

You have 2-3 drinks out of a bottle, everyone brings one. Your parties must be fricking awesome if each guest drinks a fifth of hard liquor, holy shite.
If you're going to consume 1/2 a damn fifth you might want to bring a handle.

The concept is foreign to me, especially on op's scale. Who the hell has 50 friends (drinking buddies) to invite over to give themselves bottles of liquor?
I think we had this thread before and it was more of a regional thing

On what planet does it make sense to bring presents and expect to open use the present you gave? You have the weirdest views on pretty much everything.

Hmm, almost everyone I know who's gotten married has had one. It very well could be though, although I wouldn't call it a necessary part of a wedding celebration. But I was glad I had one and always make sure to make one happen for weddings I'm involved in.

We had around that many. But my wife and I both have a pretty large group of friends and drinking age relatives that enjoy that kind of thing.

Not to derail you, but a stock the bar is typically thrown at someone's house. Why would you want 50 people to bring you liquor, at a bar?
I mean, by all means go for it, but i've never heard of a stock the bar at an actual bar. Unless you are the owner of said bar and you havent been paying your liquor bills.

I consider my group of friends to be rather large. There are about 11 or 12 of us (plus their wives) that are in our core group. There's no way i could fathom the shite show of having 50 core friends.
With a group of 10-12 and with everyone having babies now, get together's are much different than they used to be.

I guess I meant more along the lines of the group of people all knowing each other well enough to hangout and me being comfortable with asking them to devote a weekend night for my event in which they have to bring a gift that cost $30-50.
I've been to probably a dozen or so weddings with friends and have never heard of this until this site.
Adding this to the already laundry list of wedding activities people have seems a bit much.

Yea, well once again I'm correct and it's lost in the noise. IDGAF. Do what y'all want. I'm 100% spot-on though.
If you drink 18 year old scotch and you bring over a bottle (note: my wife nor I drink that) you're supposed to open it and have some. Why on earth would you drink the Kettle One my wife likes, or the Makers I like, when there's a perfectly good bottle of what you like sitting right there? It's literally for you, you brought it so it'd be here next time you came, what's a better time then now?

It's generally a twist on a housewarming party. My so and I jus. Got married and moved into a new house. Once it's set up, we'll throw a housewarming party and it will be a stock-the-bar one. My friends typically do their drinking at my house anyways, so whatever they bring will be here for them to drink when they're over (at least once a week).
It's a fun way to make sure everyone brings a gift that everyone gets to enjoy.
Definitely weird to do this at some place other than your house, though.

What makes you think the party is about you? That's a bit selfish.

The idea is laughably silly, but you can Try rusty nail.

The back Patio is absolutely slammed during football season. I don't know first hand, but I imagine they would be losing money if they rented out spots back there.

Stock the bar parties have become pretty standard for the past few weddings I've been in. All of the parties were held at bars and none of the alcohol brought as presents were consumed by the guests.
Note: all of the said weddings were for Nola natives.

So, you go to this party and bring alcohol to leave at this person's house so that you can drink it when you go over in future instances? The person who owns the house is not supposed to drink the alcohol left behind?
I'm just trying to understand this, I've only heard of this type of party in passing.

Is there no one else that would be willing to host the party at their house? Never heard of a stock the bar party at a bar but I'm sure it could be done. You usually bring various types of alcohol and bar accessories so the married couple can build up their future bar. Never seen the bottles get opened at the actual party, that doesn't make sense.
Posted on 7/19/16 at 12:55 pm to Gaston
It's stock the bar, not bring what you're gonna drink tonight. I don't understand what's hard to get about "stock the bar." Seems pretty painfully straightforward.
Posted on 7/19/16 at 12:57 pm to Epic Cajun
I've only heard of it as a housewarming kind of party where the couple might not have much alcohol on hand and their friends want to "stock their bar."

I've never known someone to do it. I don't think I could have the nerve to invite people to a party just to give me presents.
Posted on 7/19/16 at 1:05 pm to Lester Earl
I've known a couple, but it was thrown for them, not by them.
