You purchase the alcohol. We handle the bar.
How dry-hire bartending works
You buy the alcohol, so you pick the brands and set the budget. We bring everything else and run the bar from first pour to last call.
You supply
The alcohol. We send a shopping list built around your guest count and menu, so you know exactly what to buy and how much.
- Spirits, wine and beer from the list
- The space — backyard, beach house, venue or rental
We bring
A styled bar and the people behind it. As much or as little as your event needs.
- Professional bartenders
- A custom cocktail menu
- Mixers, garnishes, ice and tools
- Bar setup, service and cleanup

Kind words from happy people
Jacque did an amazing job for my birthday party! Her drinks were delicious — people said it was the best margarita they’d ever had. She’s delightful and added special touches that made the bar experience even more memorable. I’ll be calling her for my next party!
Everything was phenomenal! From service to presentation, The Happy Pour created a fun experience for our whole party. They even created drinks around our party’s theme with personalized cups and accessories for the night.
