How to Book Alcohol Service
If you would like to serve alcohol at your event in the University Centre, please select it as an option when submitting your room booking request.
If you are a SSMU-affiliated Club, Service or ISG, please make a request here.
If you are part of the McGill Community or you are an External Client, please make a request here.
*Please not that alcohol service cannot be requested independent from a room booking. Our license is applicable strictly to the University Centre and cannot be leased outside its’ premises.

Your Obligations as an Event Host
Please communicate to your guests that underage drinking and bringing external alcohol to your event is not tolerated.
We also expect you to establish a culture of responsible drinking during your events (drinking games and gambling are strictly prohibited).
Consequences for Violating the Rules and Regulations
