At Sassafras, you’ll enjoy a homely and relaxed atmosphere, delectable food, a fully licensed bar, and, most importantly, exceptional service tailored to any event style. Prices vary per package and are charged per person. We can operate the bar on a cash basis, with a bar tab or offer hourly drinks packages.
