About this Experience

What you'll do: Skip the hosting duties and let a private bartender turn your Boston gathering into a full cocktail bar experience, with a professionally styled setup built just for your group.

  • Custom Cocktail Menu – Your bartender builds a drink lineup around your group's tastes, preferred spirits, and the vibe you're going for.

  • Styled Mobile Bar Setup – The bar arrives fully arranged with tools, garnishes, glassware, and compostable supplies ready to pour.

  • Dry Hire Format – You supply the alcohol ahead of time while your bartender handles setup, service, and cleanup.

  • Photo-Ready Bar Backdrop – The polished setup doubles as a built-in photo spot for the whole night.

  • Three Hours of Full-Service Bartending – Your bartender runs the show from first pour to last call, so nobody in your group is stuck mixing drinks or wiping counters.

It's the easiest way to upgrade an at-home party without anyone having to play host.

Why we love it for your bachelorette party or group celebration:

  • No One Gets Stuck Hosting – Everyone in your group gets to actually be at the party instead of running the bar.

  • Built-In Visual Moment – The styled setup becomes one of the best-looking corners of the room without any extra decorating.

  • Personalized Cocktails – A custom menu makes the night feel tailored to your group instead of like standard party service.

  • Works in Any Space – This private bartender service fits apartments, rental homes, backyards, and Airbnbs with no permanent bar required.

  • Built for Group Celebrations – A strong fit for bachelorette weekends, birthdays, girls' nights, and private dinners across Boston.
