Notes About The Topside Bar:

The Town of Plymouth requires that servers of alcohol are trained on alcohol awareness. This is to provide service personnel with a sound, factual basis upon which they can make prudent service related decisions. It is critical to the success of our policy that our bartenders also are comfortable exercising that right. Their job descriptions were created years ago and are continually updated to keep pace with the changing world. It is important to recognize that bartenders on duty have the responsibility and authority to manage the bar as they have been directed. Their decisions are not negotiable with PYC members and their guests (as their training and directive from the manager and Executive Comm. dictate.) The law requires that a server make a reasonable effort to prevent intoxication in patrons, prevent alcohol sales to minors, and to intervene if a patron does become intoxicated. This can include calling the police if necessary. They have the burden to report any inappropriate behavior and /or improprieties which may occur, to the manager. Considering the legal ramifications, it is imperative that they consistently execute this authority, not only to protect the Club, and its members, but to protect their own families and personal property. They are in the best position to assess a patron's sobriety. We are extremely fortunate to have experienced, dedicated bartenders. The Executive Committee will support the bartenders in their decision to refuse further service. Topside Bar hours will not be extended beyond scheduled hours. Last call is 15 minutes prior to closing the bar. No drinks will be served after last call. Function Bar hours will not exceed the contracted time. All bartenders, hostesses, and wait staff are T.I.P.S. certified and in-house trained.

It is the responsibility of each and every one of the members to participate in the protection and well being of the Club. The liability concerns are shared by 100% of the members. The Executive Committee makes policy decisions for what it feel is best for the majority of the membership. It is the obligation of the Exec. Comm. to see to it that the Club and the membership are well protected. Further, the Executive Committee has adopted over the years a zero tolerance for alcohol abuse at the bar and on the property, including the Club launches at PYC. Therefore, responsible consumption of alcohol is absolutely mandatory at all times. It is expected that members respect the laws and Club policy and take responsibility to assist the bartenders and the management in doing so.  It is expected that all members act in a manner consistent with Club policy. Any inappropriate comments or behavior intended to dissuade the bartenders from the performance of their duty will not be tolerated. There is currently a disciplinary process in place as described in the by-laws to deal with members who are unwilling to honor this policy and it will be executed. Member pricing will be in place for all PYC functions, non-member prices will be in effect for all private functions.

In Summary: WITHOUT EXCEPTION, there will be NO:

  • Service to Minors

  • More than two drinks per person

  • Shots

  • Free Drinks

  • Service to Intoxicated persons
