Frequently Asked Questions

Is decor included?

Yes, we include the basic decor but if you would like a certain type of decor, contact us and we are always willing to accommodate!

Is alcohol included?

No, alcohol is not included. According to California regulations, we are unable to provide the alcohol. You will need to purchase the alcohol separately and then we will take over and do the rest. We do include everything else needed: bar equipment, mixers, garnishes, ice, cups, and a stress free shopping list.

Where are you located?

We are based out of Costa Mesa, CA but can travel up tp 35 miles each way. There is a $2 fee for each additional mile.

Is gratuity included in the fees?

No, it is not included. Tips are customary in the bartending industry so we will include a tip jar at the bar. For parties less than 15 guests, we will add a 20% gratuity to the invoice.

What method of payments are accepted?

We accept cash, check, venmo, and zelle.

Who is responsible for making sure guests are not over served?

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. However, the host of the event is ultimately responsible for all guests and their actions.

How much notice is needed for booking?

We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance to ensure availability. However, we do our best to accommodate requests on short notice.

Are bartenders available for hire without the bar?

Yes. Our package 1 includes just the bar or just the bartenders. As long as you have a full bar big enough for us to work, we are more than happy to provide our services.

Are cups and ice provided?

Yes, all of our packages (except package 1) include cups and ice. However, if you’d like to provide your own cups or glassware, we are more than happy to accommodate that as well. You are more than welcome to rent glassware for your event but keep in mind, we will not be able to leave the bar unattended so you will need to hire staff to buss around.

What is the cancellation policy?

Once the deposit is given, the date is locked in and we may have to turn away other clients. Your day will be reserved in our calendar once we receive a 50% deposit with your signed contract. Your remaining balance is due one week prior to your event. So for this reason, no refunds.
