From Hollywood rooftops to Silver Lake backyards, from DTLA lofts to Venice beach houses — we bring the full cocktail bar experience to every corner of LA. RBS-certified, bilingual, founder-run.
La Barra Co. is a Los Angeles-based mobile bar and bartending service, built for the city's most particular hosts. We're a recently launched, founder-run operation — which means our founder the founder personally oversees every LA event, from the initial menu design to the final cocktail poured at midnight. No middlemen, no lost details, no bartenders who don't care.
Los Angeles is the most competitive event market in the country, and the bar is often what separates a memorable night from a forgettable one. Long lines, warm drinks, uninspired menus — the classic hallmarks of a bad event bar — happen because most caterers treat the bar as an afterthought. We don't. The bar is our entire craft.
Our dry-hire model was built for LA hosts who want great cocktails without the 300% catering markup on liquor. You buy the alcohol at retail (from Total Wine, K&L in Hollywood, or any spot you like — many accept returns on unopened bottles), and we bring the bartenders, portable bar setup, premium mixers, fresh garnish, ice program, glassware and menu design. Everything except the bottles.
