Robert did an excellent job of bar tending for my party. He is highly professional, personable and made excellent drinks. He was punctual, thorough and knows how to handle a party with ease. He adds specialty drinks as well which my guests really enjoyed. I received multiple compliments from my guests on having him at the party. We will have him back!

Rob was a treasure. His bartending skills are excellent. I had a signature cocktail in mind for my birthday and he made it come true and made it delicious! Rob was helpful and flexible. Rob was prepared and communicated well prior to the big event. Will hire him for our next big party for sure. Can’t help but sing his praises.

Rob was perfect for our party of 65-70 people. He advised me on how much alcohol and mixers to buy as soon as we agreed on the project. He had plenty of suggestions for additional drinks, and with his assistant handled getting more wine from my wine fridge when needed. His assistant also made an ice run in the middle of the party so I didn’t have to. I would book with him again.

Rob was easy to work with and very responsive. He gave me a comprehensive list of alcohols to have on hand. He was reasonably priced and we were able to use him for multiple events. I would definitely recommend Rob for your bartending needs in the future!
