About
As your personal bartender, my goal is to create an exceptional, stress-free experience for both you and your guests. With 3 years in business and a one-on-one approach, I design custom cocktail menus tailored to your event, atmosphere, and season.
I bring all my own professional bar equipment and can also handle liquor selection, so you can focus on enjoying your event instead of managing the details.
I’m TIPS certified and carry general and liquor liability insurance, providing an extra layer of safety and peace of mind.
Reach out and let’s start planning a bar experience your guests will remember.

Outstanding support for Inkwell Beach Club in Oak Bluffs! We needed additional bartenders during a heavy event week. He came in and exceeded our expectations. Our team asked…is he coming back tomorrow!?!? Thank you will definitely use your services for future events.

If I could give Filip Kotov, from Straight Rocks Bartending, 10 STARS, I would!
We were looking for a bartender for a backyard, summer reunion party of nearly 80 guests, and it was important to find someone who was was kind, professional, punctual, helpful and truly exceptional at what they do. Filip exceeded every expectation.
From the moment he arrived, I knew I had made a great choice. He was organized, personable and incredibly attentive to all our guests. Filip kept everything running smoothly, always with a smile and made everyone feel welcome. And his drinks are just the best!! His professionalism and positive attitude helped make our party a huge success.
If you are looking to hire a bartender for your next party or special event, look no further. Filip is absolutely outstanding. We couldn't recommend his more highly and will definitely be hiring him again!!

I’m so impressed with Felipe! From the start, he sent over clear pricing (no surprise fees later), and the entire process was smooth and professional. He suggested a great variety of cocktails and even created a full custom menu for our event, along with a detailed shopping list for all the alcohol we needed.
The cocktails were delicious — every guest commented on how good they were! I will definitely be reaching out to Felipe again for our next event. Highly recommend!

Straight Rocks absolutely crushed our engagement party!!! Filip was incredible and so entertaining. All of our guests raved about the drinks and how personable he was. It absolutely elevated our party that we hosted at our house. He was so easy and helpful to work with and made the process so enjoyable. Thank you!!!
