We had a great experience using Make it a Double! They provided two bartenders to our holiday party, and it went seamlessly. They came up with specialty cocktails/mocktails for us, and the event was a hit!

Chris is amazing! He hosted my 40th birthday with a great range of cocktails and mocktails. He was such a sweetheart that guests enjoyed chatting with him too. My husband and I highly recommend him and wish him the very best with his future endeavors in bartending and cocktail mixology! He's a good human (and a skilled bartender). :)

Chris was great, the cocktail/mocktail he made was delicious and a hit with my guests. Having Chris bartend my event really classed it up and I am grateful to him for making it a success!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Discounts depend on types of events. Beer/wine events will be less per hour than if it’s a full bar. Final quote won’t be until after we speak and talk about all needs for the event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Stave & Thieves Society (whiskey training). Trained with owners of some of the best tequila owners in Jalisco. Sommelier trainings.
I’ve run high end beer programs.
I also have CPR training and TIPs
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I’ve been in this career for more than 13 years. I worked at high end restaurants in San Francisco. Worked and ran some of the best bars/restaurants in SF. Been doing events in and outside of restaurants for the whole time.
