Bringing own alcohol - How much $?

Hi everyone!
We're having our wedding at Old Town Hall in Fairfax.  I'm trying to budget in the bar cost.  We're having a 100 person, 5 hour evening dinner reception and hoping to have a full bar.  Can anyone offer firsthand experience as to how much the alcohol cost for when you bought your own alcohol? 
Btw, the caterer is doing bar-set up, including all the juices, soda, etc.

If you had just beer/wine, I'm curious to know how much that was as well.

Thanks!! :)

    Granted, we're buying our liquor in MD since our venue is up near Baltimore, but we were quoted $695 for a 4-hour open bar for 125 guests consisting of vodka, rum, gin, bourbon, three kinds of beer, merlot, chardonnay and white zin, plus a few bottles of champagne.

    Our venue charges separately for the bar setup (mixers, soft drinks. etc).
