  • Do you require proof of age?
    Yes, as per Texas State Liquor Laws, anyone under the age of 21 must be checked for proof of age. NO EXCEPTIONS.
  • Do I (The Host) need to provide fold-out tables, towels, bins, etc. for the bartender?
    Of course not! The beauty of our service is the only thing required by you is the alcohol. We want to make your experience in booking a private bartender as easy as possible.
  • Do you provide the alcohol for events?
    Unfortunately we do not. Due to TABC laws, since we don't have a liquor license, we cannot transport and resell alcohol. However, we do provide a complimentary beverage consultation to help you calculate exactly what you need to purchase based upon the number of expected guests. You get to choose what you want to be served at your event!
