The bar comes to you.
A styled cocktail cart, two BASSET-certified bartenders and a price you can see before you ask. You bring the bottles. We bring everything else.
Bar Society
Bar service only. You buy the alcohol at store prices, so you skip the catering markup.
Real cocktails, poured properly, at your party. The price you see is the price you pay, and we handle everything but the bottles, so you get to be a guest.
How it worksWhat we do
Every kind of party.
Same bar, same standard, scaled to your guest list. Every package comes with BASSET-certified bartenders and a signature drink named after you. Book the full cart, or have us work behind your own bar.
