Choosing between a Mocktail Bar and an ABC Licensed Bar depends on your event vision and often your life style choices and budget will direct this the most. Consider your guest preferences, event atmosphere, and the legal requirements of obtaining an ABC Event License to make the perfect choice for your celebration. If you need personalized guidance, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance.

Please keep in mind; while Mocktail Bars do not require ABC Licensing, they can often require special vendor permitting through the county you are hosting your event in.

We do need accessibility for a full sized pick-up truck to pull the Mobile Bar into position. Our Mobile bar is 8’ x 13’, we generally prefer to place the trailer on firm, level ground but can assess your venue and desired bar location on an individual basis. We do also require a power hook up, either by onsite power or a location away from the festivities to run a generator.

A minimum of 2 hours for set up prior to your event is necessary to begin service on time. Break down is simple and takes about an hour.

We operate on a Leave No Trace ideology and intend to leave the space we occupy better than we found it.
