About
"Have Shaker, Will Travel." Veteran Owned and Operated (IYKYK;) Hello Everyone! Zack the Bartender here. I am a fully Insured and Bonded traveling Bartender. I am an independent soul that has been working in restaurants for eighteen years. I am a great personality for any party that you can throw...at me, like literally. I bartended full time over the course of eleven years, and made a lot of great friends along the way. I am hoping to create and expand my business in the greater Ohio area, but I am willing to travel (negotiable, naturally). Most of the people I have ever taken care of at any restaurant would tell you that I was a hard working and intelligent individual. I never wrote things down, and had everyone's orders made or typed in before they even say hi or sit down. I was raised in hospitality and have continued it professionally most of my adult life. I am also a proud veteran, but know better than to talk politics (negotiable, naturally). I am passionate about making connections with people and sharing stories. I am passionate about getting to know people, getting to know their stories, and getting to know their orders. I would say that a lot of the connections I have made over the years are more than just professional, as many of my regulars and coworkers have become good friends over the years. All of them will tell you how passionate I am about my family, MOVIES, comics, buckles, t-shirts, and singing. I have a few special skills to list. So much information in such little time. I always like to lead with, "I know some ASL," and with it being so prevalent in movies and television lately, it makes me feel like I have a leg up on the competition. Having said that, I am a little out of practice, but would pick it up easily if prompted. I was a paralegal in the military, and served four years of active duty with the U.S. Army. In that time, I was deployed for about fourteen months to Iraq. I was trained in criminal law stateside, and more claims based law while deployed. Before and after the military, I worked in restaurants. In those experiences, I sharpened my skills in: sales, inventory, marketing, audience building, atmosphere awareness, large group management, corporate events, private events, weddings, writing, organization, singing (had to, are you even still reading? This is really long, right? Just wanted to give your mind a wander...anyway), drink mixing, food making, hosting and planning events, and the list could go on, obviously *coughs. Equipment wise, I will bring my own bar tools and any necessary accoutrement to make the event that much more fun...because I was there! Boom!

Hired on Thumbtack

We hired Zack Ellsworth (Zack the Singing Bartender) for our wedding on June 14, 2025 and honestly, we’re still talking about how incredible he was. This was our first time using Thumbtack so we were a little nervous at first, but Zack made everything super easy from the beginning. Communication was quick, clear, and he asked all the right questions so we never felt like anything was left up in the air. On the day of the wedding, he showed up early and completely ready to go. He handled all the garnishes himself, slicing everything up fresh, and made every cocktail one by one instead of batching them in advance. That might sound like a small thing but it really made the drinks feel more special. And he was fast. Like, really fast. Even with a huge line he somehow kept things moving and still remembered everyone’s favorite drink. What made Zack stand out though was the entertainment factor. He wore fun outfits, light-up sunglasses, and even had glowing juggling balls that he pulled out when the vibe was right. His flair bartending skills were no joke either. It was like having a mini show at the bar all night long, and our guests were obsessed. Another thing people loved was that the bar was open before the ceremony, which is pretty rare, and Zack was totally happy to make shooters throughout the night. He improvised them on the fly based on what was available and they were all surprisingly good. It was such a fun touch and really kept the energy up. If you’re thinking about hiring Zack, stop thinking and just do it. He’s professional, fun, and crazy talented. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about him and neither can we. Thank you Zack for making our wedding so memorable. – Matt & Anthony Tracey June 14, 2025

Absolutely loved working with Zach!! He was very knowledgeable and helpful from the start and my husband and I loved his personality! He helped us determine the amount of alcohol types, mixers, garnishes, cups, etc. that would be needed to last the event and very patient with our questions. He was the only bartender we had at our wedding of about 100 people and he did AMAZING! Out of all the vendors we had, we had the most comments on how wonderful the bartender was! He kept up with everything so well that there was not a line for drinks (and we had a lot of drinkers), he remembered names, what each person was drinking, and had many meaningful conversations that resonated with our guests. He lived up to what he promised and so much more!! We are very grateful for him and so glad that we hired him!!!! Highly recommended!!!

Zack absolutely killed it at our wedding. He was very personable and poured strong drinks. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about him and he was able to work well with what we provided him. He handled 120 guests with no problem at all.
