FAQ
Common networking events questions.
Can the bar be branded for our sponsor or community?
Yes. Sponsor logos can sit on the bar, a custom signature cocktail can be named after your cohort or community, and menu cards can include your brand voice and call-out copy.
How quickly do bartenders serve at peak?
Quick-pour menus keep the bar moving and the lines short. Multi-station layouts for events over 60 guests keep lines short.
Can you set up in a coworking space or office lobby?
Yes — bartenders routinely set up in coworking spaces, office lobbies, demo-day stages, and conference rooms. Check your building's alcohol-service policy ahead of time.
Do you handle alcohol-free menus for sober-friendly mixers?
Yes. Bartenders treat NA pours with the same craft as cocktails — alcohol-free spritz, shrubs, and nonalcoholic spirit builds are standard menu options.
Can we do an open bar with a per-head cap?
Yes — open bar with a per-head ceiling is a common networking-event structure. Add Captain Service and a lead bartender coordinates the bar team against your structure.

California's Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) rules apply to alcohol servers at ABC-licensed premises, and certification is valid for three years. Private events at unlicensed locations are generally outside that requirement, but your venue or caterer may have its own rules — check with them. RBS is not required to join bartendersNow™. Bartenders upload their own certification details to their profile, and you can filter for it. We do not verify certifications. Bartenders are independently responsible for complying with California law on serving minors and visibly intoxicated guests.
