Taylor K. says, "I had an amazing experience with Pour on the Go. They really showed professionalism in their communication with customers as well as having a thorough work quality to ensure the best every time valuing customer satisfaction. Marquise's bartending technique and knowledge on drinks or what to serve based on certain liked interests of mine was top notch! Our server Alex was also fabulous with his response time and knowledge of the menus ensuring a perfect meal every time. Both gentlemen are very hard workers and show how they value customer experience well even if they're under stress. They truly made the best night possible with their incredible service. Pour on the Go is phenomenal and definitely will be recommended to all my friends and family!"See more

How do I find a good bartender?

Put some time on your calendar to research and compare top-rated bartenders near you online. Start by looking at their ratings and services. For example, some bartending services will provide a waitstaff, glassware, ice, coolers, food and more.

Next, look at their photos of past events and read the customer reviews. Find feedback on the bartenders’ services. Did they offer fair pricing? Did they show up on time to set up? Did they bring all of the appropriate drinks, cups, supplies and decorations? Did they interact politely with the party guests and provide a pleasant overall experience? And did they do the agreed-upon cleanup afterward?

Narrow down your top choices, and start contacting the bartenders. Ask for cost estimates for your event, and tell them how many people will be attending, what type of event it is and what services you require. You should also ask them questions about their experience.

Bartenders may need a license in your state, county or city to work at a private party. Make sure they’re properly certified before you hire anyone.

Do bartenders need to be licensed?

Certain counties, cities and states may require licensing. Check your local government’s regulations before starting your search.

In many cases, you might want to choose a bartender who has a license and/or certification. If you’re considering hiring a bartender for an upcoming event or a special occasional, check their online profiles to find out what credentials they have. If you can’t find the information online, don’t hesitate to ask them directly when requesting to receive free estimates.
