When you’re putting together an event, you’ve got a ton of decisions to make. One of the big ones, of course, is what kind of bar service to go with. You’ve got two main options: a traditional bar service or a premium mobile bar service.

Both are great for different reasons, but lately, mobile bars are winning over many out-of-the-box event planners who enjoy experimenting with more unconventional event locations and spaces. So, instead of asking which one is better, maybe the real question is: why is a mobile bar better than a regular, plain bar?

Most traditional bars in venues are large and have plenty of room for storing supplies and serving drinks. It’s convenient, yes, but is it actually practical? What if you want to bring the bar outside where the party is? You can’t! Regular bars can’t be moved around like mobile bars can.

And that brings us to our first reason why you should go with a mobile bar for your next event:

#1 They’re flexible

Mobile bars are super versatile because they can be set up practically anywhere – indoors or outdoors. Whether you’re hosting a party outside your office, need a pop-up bar on the golf course, at the beach, or in your backyard, mobile bars are designed to be quick and easy to set up, and it also takes up less space than a full-sized one.

The best part is the party comes to you, wherever you are. Traditional venue bars usually have a set location and theme, which can restrict the atmosphere, layout, and flow of your event.

#2 Take advantage of outdoor space

Most people end up having their events indoors because they don’t want to deal with the hassle of carrying drinks outside and worrying about them getting too warm in the sun. A custom, foldable bar that can be dismantled in minutes allows you to make the best use of your outdoor space at all times. It’s perfect for enjoying the stunning weather with your guests during the summer months!

#3 Most packages are all-inclusive

A mobile bar service is convenient for both you and your guests. Most packages usually include everything needed to make the drinks and create a memorable experience for your guests. This includes the bar itself, bartenders, a variety of drinks and garnishes, glasses, ice, decorations, equipment, cleaning supplies, and more.

You don’t have to buy, prepare, or serve drinks yourself.  The mobile bar service takes care of absolutely everything.

#4 Skilled bartenders and a lot less fuss

The best mobile bar services usually come with friendly, trained bartenders who are knowledgeable about a variety of different drinks and can get everyone talking. It’s just a completely different vibe compared to traditional bartenders who may not have the same level of expertise or charm.

You also don’t have to worry about the stress of serving alcohol responsibly and the liability that comes with it. More often than not, these bartenders are trained to spot when someone’s had enough and will step in to ensure everyone stays safe, while still having a great time. If a guest seems a bit too merry, they’ll kindly recommend trying a mocktail or switching to sparkling water instead.
