Frequently Asked Questions

---

A dry mobile bar means that we provide the professional bartending service, expertise, and bar experience—but the alcohol itself is purchased and supplied by the client.

Due to Rhode Island regulations, we are unable to purchase or provide alcohol. However, we make the process as simple and stress-free as possible by guiding you every step of the way.

We can assist with:

• Customized alcohol shopping lists based on your guest count and drink selections

• Recommendations on quantities of beer, wine, liquor, mixers, and ice

• Signature cocktail planning and menu creation

• Garnish preparation and bar setup

• Sourcing of mixers, syrups, juices, garnishes, and other non-alcoholic bar essentials through our Bar Essentials Package

• Professional bartending service throughout your event

• Bar organization, cleanup, and breakdown

Our goal is to take the guesswork out of planning your event's bar service. While you'll provide the alcohol, we'll help ensure everything else is organized, prepared, and ready to go so you can enjoy your event with confidence.

After your consultation, we will provide a customized quote based on the services and package options selected for your event.

To secure your event date, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. Once your deposit is received, your date will be reserved on our calendar.

The remaining balance is due on the day of your event, depending on the terms outlined in your service agreement.

We accept:

• Cash
• Venmo
• Zelle
• Check
• Credit and Debit Cards through our online invoicing system

Please note that any approved add-ons, extended service hours, day-of upgrades, or additional services requested after booking may be added to your final invoice. Any remaining balances for these additional services will be due within 24 hours following the event.

No. Whether a tip jar is present is entirely up to you and the type of event you're hosting.

For most standard private parties, backyard events, birthdays, and casual gatherings, we typically have a tip jar available for guests who wish to show their appreciation for the bartending staff.

For weddings, formal events, corporate functions, upscale celebrations, or upon client request, the tip jar can be removed entirely.

Please note that if a tip jar is not permitted, event pricing may be adjusted to include bartender gratuity in the package price. This ensures our bartending team is compensated fairly.

While tips are always appreciated, they are never expected or required.
