What Food Should you Have at your Bachelor Party?

When it comes to thinking about the type of food and preparing food for your bachelor party it seems like a stressful task, but it doesn’t have to be, check out our list that will make the process of picking out food for your friends seamless. 

Dietary Restrictions 

Before you decide on what food will be served for each meal, remember to check with your group on any allergies to certain foods they might have. It is also important to ask if anyone is a vegetarian. This will allow your guest to feel comfortable and be able to eat the meals prepared. 

How Much is all of this Going to Cost?

When it comes to feeding guys who have big appetites it becomes extremely expensive. You have to serve food but there are some ways to keep your costs down. If you have a more strict budget you may only choose just a few items from each category to offer. Another option instead of going the DIY food prep route is asking guests to contribute. Plan to pick up takeout one night or host a lunch or dinner potluck. Be sure to let your guest know what route you are going so they know if they need to bring food.

What do you need for a Poker Night?

If you are ready to celebrate a night with your bros a poker night is a great way to do it. Poker nights are great because you can get competitive while also enjoying time with friends. Be sure you invite people who have a long attention span because the night could go on for 3 or more hours. So what do you need for a successful poker night?  As long as you have the right game essentials, drinks, food, a memorable atmosphere, and a cigar bar your friends will have a fantastic night. 

Game Essentials

If you plan on playing texas hold ‘em you will need at least 2 decks of cards. Having a second deck of cards comes in handy so you can always have one deck shuffled and ready to go. The decks of cards should have different designs to stop cards from one deck from mixing with the other deck. Next, purchase a set of plastic poker chips with numbers on them is a must. Having numbers on the chips avoids confusion. Have a minimum of 300 chips of various denominations. Moreover, a dealer button will need to be at the poker night, which will provide authority and clarity. Also, a poker table topper is beneficial to have on hand if you plan to have poker nights frequently. They sit well on a regular-sized dining table. Finally, someone will need to be assigned the dealer. Their job will be to shuffle/deal the cards and established house rules. 

Drinks 

Have a variety of drinks for your boys to choose from so everyone is happy. When you book your next poker night at Haberdash in downtown Charleston you can choose from multiple different bars. Haberdash offers a bloody mary bar and bourbon bar. How could your guests not enjoy their night with those options? Also, have bottled water to keep everyone hydrated and lasting the entire night. 

Food 

Food is a must at your poker night. With all the fun and drinking everyone is going to be indulging in they will need some food in their stomachs. The food will need to be easy to grab and not a distraction from the game. Having pizza, dips, chips, and finger foods are the easiest way to go for a poker night. Haberdash offers gourmet catering at all events they host so leave it to us to take care of all food orders. This will allow you to sit back and enjoy the poker night. 

Atmosphere

A memorable atmosphere is what people are looking for when coming to a poker night. You want your guests to feel comfortable throughout the night. Have a sports game on in the background of the poker game. This will give some sound at your event but will not be too big of a distraction like loud music would be for you players. Haberdash is filled with flat-screen televisions so you are in luck. Haberdash has a speakeasy theme. Your friends will be impressed and be talking about how awesome your event was for years to come.

Cigar Bar

Cigars are an essential part of your epic poker night. Cigars go a long way in a poker night because they burn for a while. Having people smoking cigars will keep people around the table because they will not need to get up for a smoke break. Where are you going to get a cigar bar you might ask? Haberdash offers a cigar bar with our event packages.

What to do For a Guys Night Out?

We often hear the term “girls night out” but what about the guys? They too deserve a “guys night out” with their friends every once in a while. Whether it’s to celebrate someone’s birthday, throw a bachelor party, or just to have a fun night to get together without the ladies, There’s nothing like spending time with your people. Here are the top 3 things to do on your night out with the boys. 

Sports Night

If your friends are into sports why not gather the group to cheer on your team. Have some finger foods for your guest to enjoy such as chips and dip, wings, and pigs and a blanket to name a few. Have the guys bring their favorite beverage to share. This will provide a variety of drinks to chose from. When you are watching a game on your guys night you need to make sure the viewing area is comfortable and will accommodate your guest. Pull in extra chairs so everyone can have a seat. A large flat-screen television with a good picture quality will impress your bros. If you want to go the extra mile print out a listing of stats, facts, and figures for the gaming season you are watching. This way during halftime you can check on future games. 

Game Night

Do you have competitive friends? Then a game night is perfect for your guys night out. Pull out your favorite video game for the guys and there you go.  If video games aren’t your friends’ thing then pull out your favorite board game. Only things to add to the guys night out, the essentials food, and beverages. As long as everyone gets into the game it will be a fun night! 

Beer Tasting

Beer...enough said for guys night out. Beer goes well with fatty foods men love like hot wings, pizza, and nachos. When you are planning your beer gathering encourage your friends to bring their favorite beer to share with the group. Try a few crossover beers during the event. They introduce the palate to something new and different while keeping the culture shock to a minimum. Pick a lager, pilsner, or a pal ale. The group will enjoy them! Be sure to make room in the refrigerator to keep the beers cold. Maintain the beer at an even temperature to keep the flavor from changing. If your beer is already cold keep it in the fridge until time to serve. When it comes to beer there is no right or wrong opinion so serve it up! 

Your guys night will be a hit as long you serve good beverages and have food options for the guys. Have a game ready as well or a sports game on. If you want to have a game night but don’t have the space for it look no further than Haberdash. We have a bar, catering, games, and lots of room located in downtown Charleston, SC.
