What Our Bartending Service Includes
We begin with what you want to offer at your bar. Then we advise what is needed for a functional & efficient bar set up. We offer the option of providing alcohol on consignment where we do the heavy lifting. We pick up, deliver and return what hasn’t been opened or chilled. You pay the shelf price as if you went to the store and paid for the liquor yourself. We charge a nominal fee for this service.
