Mobile Bar & Bartenders in Pasadena, CA

The Best Mobile Bar in Pasadena

Pasadena hosts are among the most sophisticated event planners in Southern California. Multi-generational homes in Oak Knoll and San Rafael have hosted a century of cocktail parties. When you bring an outside bar, the standard is already set. We meet it.

The Rose Bowl, the Norton Simon, the Huntington — Pasadena is a city organized around beauty. That expectation extends to private events. We approach every Pasadena booking with the same care an interior designer brings to a Craftsman restoration.

Our dry-hire model was built for Pasadena hosts who want great cocktails without the 300% catering markup on liquor. You buy the alcohol at retail (many stores 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.
