Bar Drop-Off Service – A Budget-Friendly Alternative to Full Bartending

What Is a Bar Drop-Off Service?

Planning an event doesn’t always require a full bartending team. That’s where a Bar Drop-Off Service comes in. With this option, we deliver everything you need for your event—alcohol, mixers, garnishes, glassware, ice, and even pre-made cocktails—so your guests can enjoy drinks without the need for a staffed bartender. Once the event is over, we return the next day to pick up our equipment, leaving you stress-free.

It’s the perfect choice for smaller gatherings, casual parties, or hosts who want to save on bartending labor fees while still offering a curated, professional-quality bar setup.

 


 

How It Works

Our drop-off service is designed to make hosting effortless:

  1. Customized Bar Menu – Choose from signature cocktails, bottled drinks, beer, wine, or non-alcoholic options.

  2. Delivery & Setup – We drop everything off at your venue, arranged beautifully for easy self-service.

  3. Pre-Made or Ready-to-Pour Options – Select from batched cocktails in pitchers, single-serve bottled cocktails, or pre-poured glasses for grab-and-go service.

  4. Enjoy Your Event – Guests serve themselves, keeping the vibe relaxed and interactive.

  5. Next-Day Pickup – We collect all equipment, glassware, and supplies so you don’t have to worry about cleanup.

 


 

Benefits of Choosing Bar Drop-Off

When to Choose Drop-Off Over Full Service

Professional Quality, Without the Bartender
