Private celebrations

Private party bartenders in NYC

Birthdays, dinner parties, holiday gatherings and milestone celebrations. You set the guest list and the playlist; we take care of the bar so you can actually enjoy your own party.

Entertaining at home, without the work

We arrive with the tools, garnishes and setup, mix and serve drinks all night, and leave the space tidy. Apartments, brownstones, backyards, rooftops and private residences all work, and a traditional bar is not required.

A menu built around your guests

Tell us what you and your friends love to drink. We shape a short menu of classics and signature cocktails with fresh fruit, herbs and quality mixers, plus a zero-proof option so everyone has something made with care.

Celebrations we love

Birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, gender reveals, graduations, bar and bat mitzvahs, retirements, brunches, dinner parties, game nights and watch parties for awards shows and big games.

Short notice is welcome
