Location: Houston, Texas Planned an engagement party that was this past weekend. Over the past few months, I’ve had numerous emails back and forth with the bar’s Event Coordinator. Multiple times it was conveyed that the bar tab would be only open from 7pm to 10pm and after that guests would be required to buy out of pocket. This was confirmed by the event coordinator and was specified that they would close the bar tab and no action was specified that I needed to do for this. The bar tab ended up not being closed out by the bartenders, and was open an additional 90 minutes before I went to the bar at the end of the night. The total was roughly double what was estimated, despite our guest count dropping to 21 from the original 30 quoted. The event also promised to supply wrist bands for our guests to identify who was able to utilize the open bar tab, but upon arrival they said they had no wrist bands. Guests observed on multiple occasions, other people attempting to order on our table. In trying to find a resolution for this, I offered to take the total divided by 4.5 hours to get an average amount per hour and then apply that to the agreed upon 3 hour tab, and am only requesting a refund for the difference between that (roughly a $500 amount). This is willingly disregarding the wrist band and unauthorized order issue as I know that would be difficult to prove and find a number for that. The bar management is only willing to refund $100 dollars and offer an additional $100 gift card. I just want to know what kind of standing I have in the sense of the bar being legally (at least in regards to a possible charge dispute) held to violate what they agreed to in writing on email.
