Tavern
Safety
Policies
Bongopix Tavern is the only nightlife establishment in the Township of South Algonquin. Being licensed to sell alcohol, Bongopix Tavern has heightened responsibilities to ensure that patrons are safe and that the local community is respected.
Safe Space Policy
Bongopix Tavern is an inclusive space. People of all races, sexual orientations, genders, and beliefs, are welcome. The Tavern is a small intimate space. If you have hateful opinions, please do not pollute our air with toxicity. Our staff have been trained to address hateful and inappropriate comments. Help us out, don't be a buzzkill. Don't make it awkward for the staff and other patrons. Positive vibes only please.
Over-serving Policy
Bongopix Tavern has the right to refuse the sale of alcohol to patrons who are evidently over intoxicated. If you are refused alcohol at our bar, please don't take it personally. Our staff have been trained through SmartServe to monitor sobriety. Our staff are mindful of how much alcohol patrons consume, and whether patrons eat food or drink water. Overly intoxicated people may become a danger to themselves or to others. In Ontario, the establishment is liable if an over-intoxicated person hurts themselves or another person. Whenever we refuse the sale of alcohol we will offer alternatives, such as food or an alcohol-free beverage.
Drunk Driving Policy
If you drink and drive after visiting Bongopix Tavern, not only do you put everyone on the road at risk, you also risk doing legal and financial damage to our business and livelihood. Our over-serving policy helps enforce our zero tolerance approach to drunk driving. Our servers will ask patrons what their transportation arrangements are, and whether they have a designated driver. If you arrange for a ride and need to leave your vehicle overnight, please do so. Drunk driving is a serious offence, DON'T DO IT!
