Handy tips for planning the best event

How many clean glasses will you need?

Count on having two glasses per guest, per hour.

How many bartenders do you need?

Depends on the type of event!
For more casual events, hire one for

every 75 to 100 guests.

For more upscale events, hire one for

every 40 to 60 guests.

You will need one cocktail server for

every 50 guests, on average.

Frequently asked questions:

How much will it cost me?

It depends! Service cost has several factors:

guest count, number of cocktails on the menu,

type of cocktails (such as pre-made or handcrafted),

location of event, desired hours of service, etc.

Do you buy the alcohol or do I?

Either! The host can purchase the spirits or

have us do it. We have a partnership with

Club Beverage House, a liquor store

in Forsyth County, that allows us to

get better prices in larger quantities.

Do I get to keep the leftover alcohol

if Mikey's Mobile Bar makes the purchase?

Yes! All the remaining spirits and ingredients

are yours. In fact, we do an inventory run down

with you at the end of the evening to show what

was used and what's left to keep.

Would you help with menu ideas?

Yes! To help you make a decision, we will send you

a detailed email with cocktail names and ingredients,

once you tell us what type of spirits you want to consume.

If I have already selected cocktails,

would you help me with

ingredients and quantities?

Yes! After you book the date, we'll provide all the

information you need if you wish to make the

purchase on your own.

What if I want less than five hours

of service?

We can discuss the cocktails you want to serve

and determine if we can adapt to your needs.

Just keep in mind that the travel rate and cost

of service will not change.

How long in advance should I book?

For optimal service, we recommend up to 6 months

in advance, especially when booking one of our

bar packages. We have few bartenders on the

schedule, so if you have a bartender in mind,

we recommend you book as soon as possible to

guarantee their availability.

What happens if the hours I booked

are finished, but I want to continue

my service?

To allow you the opportunity to continue the

service, the bartender hosting your event will

ask you an hour before service ends if you wish

to continue with service. If you choose to

continue, you are responsible for getting more

spirits, ingredients, or mixers if needed for the

added time period. The maximum added time

we allow after your scheduled hours is a period

of two extra hours. To continue the service,

the host will have to pay an hourly rate between

$30-$60 depending on the cocktails being served.

This payment must be made before service is

continued. Payment will be made directly to the

company, and you will receive a payment confirmation

provided by manager/ owner Mikey Medina.

Payment forms:

Zelle: Mikey@mikeysmobilebar.rsvp

Venmo: Mikey911bar

Cashapp:$Mikeysbar911

Debit or credit card will have an additional 3% fee

What if I want to add more cocktails to

the menu, but we’ve already established

a service price?

Our main goal is to provide excellent service. If you

wish to add 1 or 2 cocktails to the bar menu, the

price per hour will increase by $10-15. If you're

adding more than 3 cocktails, we will advise you

to hire another bartender to help lower the cost

and optimize service.

What if I want to reduce the cocktail

for the menu?

Our bar service covers a standard of 4 cocktails.

You can choose to serve fewer, but even if it's only 1,

the service cost will remain the same.
