Does The Wander Bar provide alcohol for events?:
The Wander Bar does not provide alcohol for events due to state liquor laws which prohibit all mobile bartenders from providing alcohol without a brick and mortar establishment. Instead, The Wander Bar uses a common practice referred to as ‘dry bartending’, where we provide all other bar essentials and prepare/serve your alcohol at events. After a full consultation, we provide clients with a detailed list of what alcohol to purchase prior to the event based on what will be needed for their event. This is beneficial to our customers as they are able to purchase all alcohol at cost and own any unused alcohol which they can do with as they like. Whether they choose to keep alcohol for personal use, raffle it off to party guests, or hold onto their receipt to return unopened alcohol, the choice is theirs.
