Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included in the base package?

A complete craft bar experience: professional bartenders, a dedicated barback (always included), fresh same-day mixers and garnishes, bar tools, ice management, and a three-cocktail menu designed to match your theme. Service is built for speed, consistency, and guest delight.

How does pricing work (per-guest, hours, deposit)?

Transparent per-guest model with a 3-hour minimum. The 4th hour adds a flat service extension of $550. A 50% deposit reserves your date; the balance is due the day of (or one day prior).

Do you provide alcohol or is it BYOB?

Either. Keep it BYOB, or have us supply a curated alcohol package (standard or premium). We’ll recommend quantities and pairings based on your guest count and chosen cocktails.

Do I need a liquor permit? (Permit Processing & Compliance Service)

Some venues require it. If so, we manage Permit Processing & Compliance end-to-end—forms, timelines, and documentation—so your event remains fully compliant without the paperwork headache.

Can you provide a COI (insurance)?

Yes. We’re certified and insured (General + Event Liquor Liability) and can issue venue-specific COIs upon request.

Do you bring the bar? (mobile bars & when two bars are recommended)

Yes, we can provide mobile bars. For events over ~35 guests we typically recommend two bars to reduce lines and keep service flowing. We’ll advise the ideal layout after reviewing your guest count and floor plan.

How many bartenders/staff come with my event?

We staff to your guest count and format. You’ll always have at least one dedicated barback supporting the bartenders for speed, cleanliness, and constant replenishment. Larger events add a second bartender and additional support as needed.

What are my drinkware options?

Disposables are included. You can upgrade to 12oz premium tumblers or full glassware. We’ll guide you to the best choice based on venue rules, vibe, and budget.

Do you serve large events and corporate/weddings?

Absolutely. We scale bars, staff, logistics, and compliance for weddings, corporate launches, and high-volume formats—without losing the handcrafted quality guests notice.

What add-ons do you offer?

Popular enhancements include a photo booth, prosecco wall, and a savory bites program. Each integrates seamlessly with our bar to elevate guest experience and keep the energy high throughout the event.

Do you offer passed drinks/food service?

Yes. Passed service is staffed with trained team members (three-hour minimum) who circulate signature cocktails or bites so guests enjoy the experience without leaving the conversation.

What does post-event cleaning include?

We leave the bar area clean, organized, and venue-ready: surfaces wiped, barware/tools packed, trash consolidated and removed to the designated area, ice/water managed, and bar-related debris cleared. We also coordinate vendor rentals (glassware, bars, décor) so pickups are smooth and timely, minimizing load-out time and keeping your host relationship spotless.

Are there travel fees?

Events in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx are typically covered. Locations outside NYC may include a travel fee; we’ll confirm during quoting. Special long-distance cases can be handled separately.
