When people call the pub and want a donation, flip them over to an event in the pub to raise even more money. That's what the 'Guest Bartender' event is all about.
Good charities can organize 40-50 people to come out over happy hour.
Here's how it works- A popular member of the charity gets to play bartender for an hour or two. While they are behind the bar, there is a tip jar out that charity members fill with tips ($500-$1000). We provide everyone their first round of pints and some light food. On average everyone will stay for 2-3 drinks (they pay for these) and they raise significant funds for the charity which is a great thing.
They also have a lot of fun in the process. You can do it at least quarterly, a couple a month doesn't hurt as it's not something you need to promote in the pub.
Has worked well for many years in Columbus and if you need something to jumpstart happy hour this should be part of your playbook.
