Bull River Beverage Mart

When it comes to catering an open bar, or even a cash bar for a wedding or some other special event - Bull River Beverage AKA Chu's Liquors are the guys I recommend! They catered my wedding with an open bar (thanks to my father in law) for about 450 people. Being the groom, I was all over the place, but heard compliments from everyone about how great the bartenders and drinks were. They had enough stations to keep the lines short and came prepared with all the top shelf bottles we needed. And on a casual note, they have a great wine selection. They have helpful standouts that point to the top-rated, good price items. Perfect for me, cause I'm no wine connoisseur. I'm just glad they always have a fresh selection of limes for my Corona's on the way to Tybee Island. Pros: Wide selection and full service catering available Cons: Not open Sunday's.. more

I chose Bulll River Beverage Mart/Chu's for an open bar wedding reception of about 200 guests. After I signed the contract, I got a phone call to confirm details. I specified I wanted to pay in full for the first 5 hours. However, I did not want the bar shut down after the 5 hours and would pay right away for any additional hours. The employee assured me that the bar would remain open until the party seemed to be over. The night of the event, the bar began shutting down just when the party got going (which was before midnight). I explained that we agreed to leave it open and pay immediately. Mr. Chu...the owner said ""It is not in the signed contract so shut it down. I don't care if there was a verbal agreement."" There are lots of other options in town...use one of them. more
