Booking & alcohol

Do you provide alcohol?

No. We’re a dry-hire bartending company, which means you buy the alcohol and we bring everything else. It keeps you in control of brands and budget.

What does dry-hire bartending mean?

You purchase the alcohol; we handle the bar. That includes bartenders, the bar setup, a custom menu, mixers, garnishes, ice, tools, service and cleanup — whatever your event needs.

What alcohol do I need to purchase?

We’ll send a shopping list based on your menu and guest count, with quantities, so you know exactly what to buy. For To Go, each bar has a short list of its own.

What does Happy Pour provide?

For events: professional bartenders, a styled bar, a custom cocktail menu, mixers, garnishes, ice, tools, setup and cleanup. For To Go: the nonalcoholic ingredients, glassware or cups, garnishes, ice, tools where included, a recipe card, delivery and a fully styled setup.

How do I book?

Send an inquiry through our inquiry form (opens in a new tab) with your date, location and guest count. To lock in your date, we take a 50% nonrefundable deposit, and the remaining balance is due 7 days before your event. Cancellation details are in our Terms & Conditions.

Weddings & events

How far do you travel?

We’re based in Santa Rosa Beach and work across 30A (from Inlet Beach, Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach to Seacrest, Watersound, Grayton Beach and Santa Rosa Beach), Miramar Beach, Destin and Panama City Beach. Travel adds a $150 fee for events up to 100 miles away.

How many bartenders will my event need?

It depends on your guest count, how long the bar is open and how involved the menu is. We’ll recommend staffing in your quote so the line keeps moving.

Can we keep the bar open longer?

Yes — extra time is $100 per hour, as long as we’re available.

How much does event bartending cost?

Events start at $650. Every event is quoted to fit, based on guest count, hours of service, location, staffing, bar setup and add-ons.

The Zero-Proof Bar

Do you offer an alcohol-free bar?

Yes — the Zero-Proof Bar. Beautifully crafted mocktails, fresh ingredients, thoughtful garnishes, and a fully styled mobile bar. All the cocktail experience. None of the alcohol.

What’s included with the Zero-Proof Bar?

A professional bartender and mobile bar setup, personalized mocktail menu options, bar tools and serving equipment, fresh mixers, garnishes and ice as specified in the quote, plus setup, service and breakdown. Every event is different: final inclusions, staffing, and pricing are customized based on guest count, service time, location, and menu selections.

Cocktail classes & tastings

Do you host cocktail classes and tastings?

Yes — private, bartender-led cocktail classes and guided tastings at your home, vacation rental or venue, like a tequila flight with tasting cards.

Do I buy the spirits for a class or tasting?

Yes. Like all our services it’s dry-hire: you buy the spirits and we’ll tell you exactly what to get.

Happy Pour To Go

How does Happy Pour To Go work?

Pick a bar, send us your address, date and guest count, and buy the alcohol on the list. We arrive, set up and style the whole station so it’s ready to enjoy, then leave you to it.

Can To Go packages accommodate more than 10 guests?

Yes. Each bar is built for up to 10 guests (about 20 cocktails), and we can scale it up for bigger groups at an additional cost. Ask for a custom quote.
