Introduction: Now located in the DMV, you'll get an entertaining bartender who enjoys leaving great & lasting impressions on people and creating an unforgettable experience. The drinks that I mix are made to perfection and simply delicious. My personal, signature drinks are one of a kind and you'll say that they're the best drinks that you've ever had. Just ask to try: Brown Suga', Beachy Margarita, Strawberry Pantie Dropper (aka Pink Pearl), SPRed, Super Hero, and All Nighter. Any average bartender can mix a drink and hand it out, but giving people a great experience with amazing tasting drinks is really what it's all about! I'm looking forward to helping facilitate a fun and exciting event for you and your guests, while performing a bartender's number one duty... Which is to use excellent judgement in keeping your guests from over-intoxication. My services can now be booked for private GROUP MIXOLOGY CLASSES, COUPLE'S DINNERS, and private GROUP DINNER PARTIES. Contact me directly for a quote!

I hired Fortune's Bartending for a large graduation party and he was AMAZING!! He showed up early, was flexible and accomodating with his setup, and was a joy mingling with the guests. The only bad part is that now...I don't think I can have a party without Fortune's Bartending! He was a huge hit!!!

That's My Bartender!!! He was absolutely wonderful. Mike worked closely with us before, during & after the party to provide fantastic bartending services. Not only was he professional and responsive but he was extremely helpful in planning on how much alcohol to buy, designing a signature drink, and working with the supplies we had or needed. Absolutely great service, I would definitely recommend!!!

Fortune's Bartending's reply

Thanks so much Laura! I really appreciate that! Sorry so late to respond! :-) Only had to charge as much as I did because the event lasted for 11 hours. Everybody was so nice and we had a great time working your event!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I generally charge either a flat fee plus tips, based on time duration, what all that I will need to provide and guest count. But if the host of an event wants to pay a flat fee, including a tip, to avoid having their guests reaching in their pockets, then I am open to discussing pricing.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
ABC Certified (TIPS Certified/Licensed) in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Mississippi.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I bar tended a wedding, and had a great time with the crowd there. The drink of the night had to be the Washington Apple. It was a big hit and everybody was ordering it.
