David and a coworker were employed by us to tend bar for a private Christmas party in our home with 70 guests. Before the event he was most helpful in all aspects of planning and was readily available to answer any and all questions . He and his coworker , Mickie, arrived in plenty of time to set up the area…. Throughout the evening they both worked extremely hard are kept the bar flowing smoothly. In addition we had two specialty cocktails that he was happy to work wirh us on They kept glasses washed , kept the area neat and didn’t miss a beat. They cleaned up well and enjoyed talking with us and had great personalities for our guests. Could not recommend more highly!
Details: 51 - 75 guests • Holiday party • Upbeat / lively • Private residence • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Wine • Non-alcoholic beverages • Venue will already have a bar • Tip jars not allowed • Setup / cleanup

Thanks for bartending for our Halloween Costume Bash. I was amazed you were able to pull off the event with only 6 days notice! David, was great. He showed up on time, set up quickly, was able to make everything people asked for that we had ingredients to make. And He even got into the costume theme. The planning tools were pretty spot on. Everyone was very pleased with the service!We'll be contacting you again next time we need a bartender.

I definitely feel I made the right decision going with A Better Bartender! David showed up early, was super helpful and friendly during set up, and did an awesome job bartending the event. He has a great personality and all the attendees loved him. Definitely booking again for future services, as it was such an overall a great experience. Thanks again

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with A Better Bartender. A Better Bartender provided a memorable experience for my ladies night. They came to the venue prepared and set up all they needed to provide us with a good time, and a good time was had! My ladies were able to learn how to make a great tasting craft cocktails, while learning how to make the cocktails, A Better Bartender also provided us background knowledge about our spirit choices. Overall my experience was great and I highly recommend booking them for your next event!
