We excel at making guests happy, and strive to make sure the host/event planner can relax and enjoy the event. We'd love to create a custom cocktail or espresso menu for your event.

Christian was awesome. Showed up on time and provided great service to our guests. Knew how to adapt to peoples personalities and served up some great cocktails. What was great is they provide a table and cover and bring their own metal bins for drinks as well. Will definitely look to use David and crew in the future for our private bartending needs.
David bartended our most recent company happy hour and was a total hit! The drinks were fantastic, his service was professional and friendly, and the setup added a great touch to the atmosphere. We appreciated his attention to detail and would gladly work with him again in the future.
Details: 26 - 50 guests • Corporate event • Low key / casual • Public venue • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Bartender will need to bring the bar • Tip jars allowed • Setup / cleanup • Ice • Disposable cups

Highly recommend the bartending and event support from On The Rocks. We needed a bartender very last minute for a dinner party. David was super responsive and helped us book two people with less than a days notice. They were great bartenders, helping us come up with signature holiday cocktails, and were so sweet and friendly to all of our guests. They also helped keep everything clean and tidy.

David was the first one to reach out when I posted looking for a bartender for a holiday party. Our bartender, Steve was phenomenal - he dressed to the theme, was so sweet and polite, was on top of our drink menu and made things so easy for me as a host. He was truly exceptional. So grateful for these guys!
