They do serve beer, wine, hot cider, sodas, coffee...you get the idea. Plus, and this is a big plus for me, they will let you bring your own bottle of wine in for a $10.00 corkage fee...so worth it to me. They don't have table service, you have to go to the back of the room to buy your beverages. The only thing you might need to know is, when you come in the front door you have to walk up stairs to get to the seating. I didn't see any other way up.
