Frequently Asked Questions...
Do You Have A Liquor License?
No. In California, mobile bartending companies cannot obtain a liquor license unless they operate from a brick-and-mortar establishment. For this reason, we require our clients to purchase all alcohol for their event. This allows us to legally provide bartending services without holding a liquor license.
Do You Have Bar Rentals?
While we don't provide portable bar setups or rentals directly, we're happy to point you in the right direction! If your event requires a bar, we can connect you with our trusted local partner who offers a variety of unique and stylish bar rental options.
Do You Operate As A Full Bar?
We do not operate as a full-service open bar. Instead, we offer a thoughtfully curated selection of up to three signature cocktails and four total spirits. This allows us to deliver a consistent guest experience while maintaining the highest quality standards - without the slower service or added complexity that often come with a full bar.
Do You Have Insurance?
​
Cart Side Cocktails carries both General Liability and Liquor Liability Insurance. All of our bartenders are licensed by the ABC and certified to responsibily serve alcohol.
Can We Run A Cash Bar?
No. We do not hold a liquor license, we are legally unable to sell alcohol or operate a cash bar. All alcohol must be purchased by the client in advance.
