no they do not, that is why I asked the owner if the town would let them have a BYOB dinner.

(plus after hosting a number of FT dinners, the check, especially with a larger group can get messy to figure out with some who drank, drank a lot, or drank nothing)

What would you think about an after-party at a nearby tavern so the group can chat there rather than keeping the restaurant open too long.
It is more than likely that pre-pay of some method (paypal, chase, check) will be required as I don't want to chase folks down at the seminar who haven't paid (& if I don't mandate pre-pay there will be those who will take advantage, sorry to say it just seems to be human nature).

I'm all for a nearby tavern, not much in the area as most know that host hotel is really in an industrial area. I'll scout around, just don't expect a Ritz Carlton type bar
