Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide the alcohol? 

We Are A Dry Hire Bartending Service 
According to Virginia law, mobile bars are unable to apply for liquor licenses. However, we do carry Liquor Liability insurance which allows us to serve alcohol at any event. This means that we provide everything (mixers, garnishes, ice, and bartending services), except the alcohol. We will create a customized shopping list for your event based on your preferences and the amount of guests you will be having. You can then purchase the alcohol from any vendor of your choosing that best suits your budget.

We reserve the right to refuse service to any guest who seems to have had too much to drink, per our judgement. However, the host of the event is ultimately responsible for all invited guests and their actions.

Absolutely NOT. NO CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL BY PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 21 is allowed. In fact, it's illegal. We reserve the right to end service coverage immediately and leave the premises if any person under the age of 21 is being served to and/or consuming alcohol during the time we are serving at your event. Our goal is to ensure responsible beverage service.
