Pricing

We operate, as most caterers do, by charging on a “per person” basis.  We charge $12.50 per person per hour.  If your bar service lasts 4 hours, that equates to $50 per person for the event. If you have over 100 people attending, we provide a discount.  The first 100 will still be charged the same $12.50 rate, but additional guests beyond guest #100 will be charged $10 per person per hour.

We charge those rates for all adults. We know that some people drink no alcohol, but we also know about other guests who are getting a real bargain.  We charge a flat $20 for kids for an event.  We have plenty of soda and mocktail options as well as a huge vat of cherries for Shirley Temples.

Our staff work their tails off. They are our greatest asset (as you will see) and we really appreciate you taking care of them.  We assess a 10% service fee on the pretax total bill to cover tips for our servers.  The service fees go 100% to the servers.

We do have minimum billing requirements from May through October.  These are not in addition to the per person charges. It does make it expensive for smaller parties. We are looking to add a smaller truck to service those 30-60 person events at a more favorable cost.

  • Saturdays and Holiday weekends – $4,000
  • Fridays and Sundays – $3,500
  • Weekdays – $3,000

Our prices include:

  • High end spirits like Tito’s, Makers Mark, Libelula and Aldez Tequila, Mount Gay Rum and Bombay Sapphire Gin.  We typically have 3 or 4 different options for each spirit (see pics of our fully stocked bar for an idea)
  • 5-6 wine selections
  • 4-5 beer choices
  • High Noon or White Claw
  • Bartenders – A minimum of two at every event with the big trucks. 1 for every 50 guests.  We do not want people waiting.
  • 3 cocktail tables
  • Edison Lights over the bar area
  • Ice, disposable plastic cups, napkins, straws
  • Sodas, mixers, garnishes
  • A powerful Bluetooth speaker, if need be.

This price covers a travel distance of 30 miles from our garage in Watertown, CT. Additional travel may come with a surcharge.  Our 70 year old beauties drive incredibly well, but we do not want to push our luck, so we have them delivered by flatbed tow truck for those longer drives.  The star of the show must get there.

Indoor Bars

Our trucks are often the star of the show, but we can still provide bar services indoors while leaving our truck outside or back home.  We can set up the same bar sections inside, or we simply set up at an indoor built in bar.  Given the lower cost of set up and delivery, we provide that service at $10 per person per hour with the same 10% service fee.  Minimums are 75% of full bar truck service minimums.

  • Saturdays and Holiday weekends – $3,000
  • Fridays and Sundays – $2,625
  • Weekdays – $2,250

Terms

We ask for a 25% deposit at booking, which will guarantee a truck and bar service for your date (we have never cancelled on a client, and never will).  We also need to have a credit card on file to avoid us having to nag clients a week before a big event.  The balance is due two weeks before the event.  Clients have an option to extend bar service an hour longer during the event, and we will send a follow up bill if that is the case.  We are also flexible with “final numbers” if they keep the total bill above our minimums.
