| - For my girlfriend's 50th birthday, she wanted a big party with all her friends. I called Tyber Creek a few months in advance and they reserved the upstairs bar area for me for free. A few days before the event, I called back and ordered the medium size Party Package, which they assured me would be enough for 50 people. I, also, asked that they be ready with 50 shots at 7pm for the birthday toast and reminded me I might want to bring a cake (Oops!)
When we got there about 6pm, they took the cake off my hands and assured me it would be brought up at 7pm. We went upstairs to find they had the upstairs bar area set up. We had a dedicated bartender and waitress (plus others who helped out as need be). They clearly had already been briefed about the shot, food and cake. And nobody went long without a drink in hand.
They started setting out the food, with hot food over sterno, plates, etc. By the end of the night, I was pleasantly surprised that there were still a few chicken tenders and some dip left - but not much! Good value for the money and a real pleasure not having to order any more food part way through the party.
At 7pm sharp, they brought the cake up, having already put the candles on it, along with plates, forks and a knife. The bartender was just finished pouring the shots. I didn't have to remind them, which was very impressive.
At the end of the night, my sweetheart managed to twist her ankle, so I whisked her away home. It wasn't until the next day that I found out we'd left several gifts, mostly wine, at the bar. They had put it ALL in the office and kept it safe until we picked it up. That really says something about the honestly and ethics of the staff.
I highly recommend Tyber Creek Pub for groups of 50 or more. Very professional and a pleasure to work with. And having had the occasional beer there, I know it is a first rate neighborhood bar, as well.
