Absolutely stellar service! We had the pleasure of having Bar 51 serve at our wedding, and I cannot recommend the company highly enough. Bar 51 served as the epitome of professionalism and punctuality, arriving early with everything ready to go. We were so pleased by our bartender’s friendly demeanor and expert mixology skills were a hit with our guests, who couldn't stop raving about the drinks!
Our bartender managed to balance speed with quality, ensuring no guest was left waiting, yet every cocktail was perfectly crafted. Her presence added a special touch to our celebration, making our big day even more memorable. We would love to have her service again for any future events. If you’re looking for a company to elevate your event with exceptional bartending skills, look no further. Bar 51 is the best!

Barbara is AMAZING! Her bartending skills and attention to detail is exactly what I was looking for! I reside in NYC and had an event in Washington DC (baby shower) and Barbara ensured that my mimosa bar and other requests were achieved! My guests loved her Rum Punch and I did as well its sooo delicious. Barbara is professional kind and has a great personality! Don’t hesitate to utilize her services. The value is great as she provided all I requested with a great price overall! Thank you Barbara for making my daughter’s baby shower special the guests absolutely loved your service and so did I as it was awesome!!
Ms. Barbara and her assistant Tabitha were a joy to work with. If you're searching for Bartending services please call BAR51!! I told Ms. Barbara the theme for my husband's surprise party and she made sure the bar complimented his theme perfectly. Every drink was tailored to the theme including the signature drinks for the party. Ms. Barbara showed up early to setup and was ready to service my guests with a smile. She greeted my husband with a drink and a smile when he walked him. The service of Bar51 is top of the line. The ladies didn't stay behind the bar the entire night. They took turns serving my guest drinks at the tables and on the dance floor. I never saw the ladies with a frown they smiled at everyone the whole evening. My guests are still talking about how wonderful the bar service was. Bar51 did an amazing job and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mobile bar service. Most importantly as for the watermelon Sangria and thank me later!! Again, Ms. Barbara you did an outstanding job. We can't thank you enough!!

Barbara did an amazing job for my sister’s bachelorette dinner. It was a small group and she met all of our needs, including mock tails for our pregnant friend. Her Moscow mules were the best I have ever had. Barbara did everything from setup to cleaning up afterwards. You wouldn’t have even known she was there once she left.
If you ever need a bartender for your event please choose BAR51!
