Thanks for choosing Fortune’s Bartending, where 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, Pink Pearl, SPRed.
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. ********************************

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!!!

Mike more than met the demands of our Corporate event. He kept the party moving, made each of our team members feel important, and over delivered on professionalism! I highly recommend Mike for not only your bar service needs, but his consultation in preparation of the event was very beneficial.

Michael was absolutely amazing to work with and all of our guests kept coming up to me and complimenting the amazing drinks he was making for them. His assistant was also super friendly - I definitely recommend hiring Fortune's Bartending for your wedding or party!!

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!

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!!!

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.
