Everything couples ask. Answered straight.

A bar has two jobs happening at once: the pour your guest sees, and everything behind it. Ice runs, restocks, pre-batching, glassware, breakdown. A solo bartender can only do one at a time, which means either the line stops or the bar degrades as the night goes on.

We staff a two-person minimum on every event so the bar your guests see at 10pm looks exactly like the one they saw at 5. Every detail. Every pour. Every time.

One. Every date we accept is the only event we pour that day, across every package. Setup is unhurried, your timeline never competes with another client's, and nothing about your night is scheduled around getting somewhere else.

Every package includes beer, wine, and a full call bar all night. That part never changes. What you are choosing between is the cocktail program on top of it: how custom the drinks get, from two classics picked off our menu to five cocktails designed for your night alone.

You do, under a Virginia ABC banquet license for your event. We never sell alcohol. What we provide is a purchase plan built for your guest count and menu, so quantities land right and nothing is over-bought. Bar materials such as mixers, juices, and garnishes are sourced by us and billed at cost.

Yes. Private events serving alcohol in Virginia require an ABC banquet license, and as the host, the application is yours to make. It is a straightforward online application through Virginia ABC, and it should be submitted well ahead of your event.

You will not do it alone. We walk every client through the application as part of planning, tell you exactly what to select, and make sure the license is in hand before your date.

Our intimate format, and the one exception to the two-bartender minimum, because the solo pour is the point: Anthony behind the bar, no line, no rush, the bar as part of the gathering rather than separate from it. Up to 20 guests, cocktails and mocktails only. See the full experience.

Every package can include non-alcoholic options, and our custom programs include Mirror mocktails: zero-proof cocktails built with the same fresh ingredients and the same care as their spirited counterparts. Nobody at your event gets handed a soda and an apology.

We are based in Central Virginia and serve the surrounding region, with North Carolina ABC documentation maintained for events across the state line. If you are unsure whether your venue is in range, ask. The answer is usually yes.

Fully. General liability and liquor liability, including an assault and battery amendment, with certificates of insurance naming your venue issued within 24 hours of a request. Every document is on our credentials page, available to download and verify.

Three hours before service begins. Coolers, ice, equipment, and every bottle are set before your first guest walks in, and full breakdown after the last pour is part of every package.

It depends on how your night ends, and there are two ways it can go.

When the bar and the venue close at the same time, the final alcoholic pour comes 30 minutes before close. That buffer is deliberate: it is a safety measure, so your guests have time to finish their drinks and settle before the drive home. Nobody walks from a last pour straight to their car.

When the bar is contracted to close before your venue does, we announce last call 15 minutes before the bar closes, pour through it, and then the bar is done while your night keeps going.

At every level. The question is only how custom the cocktails get: chosen from our menu, designed for you, or the full five-drink program. The packages page walks the ladder.

Pricing is built from your guest count, service hours, and package. After your discovery call you receive a full pricing guide for your event, so every number you see is already specific to your night. Your event arrives paid in full, with no day-of administration.

We take a small number of events, so popular dates go early. If you have a date and a venue, that is enough to start the conversation.
