You Got Q’s, We Got A’s

  • CLEARLY YES, IF:

    • You are ready to get started on your event and share details to initiate the process.

    • You love the styles of our recent work, creativity, and reviews.

    • You understand this is a collaborative effort and we will be on the same team!

    • You can ensure you can meet all timelines, and replies, along with open communication.

    • You want a mobile bar company that will take your event to the next level.

    • You understand that communication and clarity are key.

    NOT SO MUCH, IF:

    • You do not value the time, effort, and our 25+ year expertise that goes into events and will try and haggle over pricing.

    • You are not open to new ideas and processes.

    • You don’t have the time yet to commit to your event and can’t ensure consistent correspondence.

    • You are prone to ghosting if/when you are no longer interested in communicating.

  • It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!

    First, select the “Book Us Today/Get a Quote” button on our site and submit your inquiry.

    Second, schedule a phone or video consultation with Bartender 608 to receive your quote.

    Last, sign your contract and submit our 50% retainer (full 100% invoice due for all events booked 31-days or less) to reserve your event date.

  • Yes, HOWEVER…

    Bartender 608 is hired out as a ‘dry hire’ as we do not currently carry a liquor license. i.e. CASH BAR is NOT Allowed.

    WE CAN select, organize, and order your desired beer, wine, and spirit selections and have it filled with our preferred retailer who you will lawfully PAYDIRECTLY.

    See Wisconsin Department of Revenue No. 3108 Fact Sheet for further information.

  • No; CASH BARS are NOT Allowed as Bartender 608 Intoxicologists do not currently hold the $10K reserve liquor license.

    WE CAN serve Open Bars and select, organize, and order your desired beer, wine, and spirit selections and have it filled with our preferred retailer who you will lawfully PAY DIRECTLY.

    See Wisconsin Department of Revenue No. 3108 Fact Sheet for Catered Alcohol Beverages for further information.

  • Yes, we provide $1-million in general & liquor liability insurance along with Worker’s Compensation insurance coverage.

  • “If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, just wait until you hire an amateur.”

    Hiring a professional for your important event just makes sense; experience, professionalism, and longevity are worth their weight in gold when you need everything to be in its place.

    The fun that comes from mixing things up drink-wise along with the pure delight of you and your guests’ enjoyment ensures a stress-free event and overall environment.

    Oh, and with satisfying, yet controlled portions, overserving will save you worry and money not to mention our clean-up services and the compliments you’ll receive long after we depart!

  • Do you simply want your cocktail menu to “get-by” or, do you want each and every cocktail, no matter how ‘simplistic’, to taste amazing?

    Many caterers are known for their fine food menu, not their drinks, (which is usually not the forefront of their business model. )

    Our #1 business is the benefit of bar and beverage services.

    You’ve got a great guest list, venue, photographer, so why not properly prepare with further professionals who take care in and of their craft to satisfy your guests for the duration of the event with our one and only Pour Service?!

  • * Grabs passport *
    Of course, in most instances, we’re able to help with many location industries.

    Events at Ellsworth Block require an additional fee of $350 for additional labor as this venue has no lift/elevator.

    Simply contact us with your vision!

  • Our service charge helps cover the costs of doing business; it is our event production fee for operating expenses for things such as insurance, advertising, office supplies, utilities, day-to-day operations, and other back-end costs. It is not gratuity.

    While our catering contract proposals show you a breakdown of your events elements and their costs, the service charge helps cover the cost of the hours needed to prep and plan your dedicated event.

    This fee is not hidden and is prominently listed on your Event Cinch quote as a line item. This allows you to have all the needed monetary information upfront.

  • Absolutely!
    We love creating custom cocktails based on our clients’ favorite flavors and ingredients. During our virtual meeting, we’ll chat about everything, including your cocktail menu!
