Mr. Bartender

From beginning to end– Mr Bartender was AWESOME! We hired them for a backyard bash for 40 people and they were the hit of the party. The cocktails were spectacular, the service was impeccable, and the business is run by a total pro. Anthony carefully walked us through everything — picking cocktails, renting glasses and the bar, the set up and costs. It was a one stop shop and totally seamless. The Tijuana burning may be one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had– smokey, sweet (but not too sweet), spicy — HEAVEN. Hire Mr. Bartender, you won’t regret it!

Mr. Bartender was absolutely amazing! Anthony and his staff were all great. The bartenders were very personable and the drinks were delicious! Anthony made some really good recommendations and he took my suggestions and incorporated them into the menu well. Guests were talking about the drinks for days! We will definitely be using them again. This company went above and beyond for its clients which goes a long way in today’s world.

For my husband’s 50^th we had 2 bartenders and they were the best !! My guest were talking about the service and drinks for weeks! Very polite and helpful! The most yummiest specialty drinks specially the bored house wife… Highly recommend! Overall a 10!!!

Impeccable service, tasty cocktails and not hard on the eyes ;)

BEWARE THEY STEAL AND ANTHONY DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! Mr. Bartender was hired for my wedding this last weekend, what a mistake, what a disaster. First, they were completely unprofessional to say the least. They stood around and left the bar completely dirty. They would not even pick up the trash around them and keep the bar tidy. Next, after the bar was open a mere 1 hour, YES ONE HOUR, we were told that 25 bottles of Whisky were all gone. HOW? Well read below and the mystery solves itself. We had 200 – 250 guest, some children, some that do not drink and a lot that do not drink Whisky. This was the start. We ran out of Whisky before the reception event began. Guest started complaining because the wine was warm, despite us having plenty of ice. The bartenders literally did nothing and did the minimum. One guest actually said to them, «why don’t you chill the wine on the ice or pick up all the trash on the bar and around you?»
This is where it gets really interesting. At the end of the night we went home with NOTHING but a few bottles of juice. Not one beer, not one red bull, not one champagne, not one bottle of vodka, tequila, rum, gin etc… NOTHING. We had purchased so much alcohol and more than we needed to be safe. How could there literally not even be one beer left? How was there not even a half bottle of any liquor left?
At first, I didn’t know what to believe. But over the last few days, I was told, by vendors at that, that they saw the bartenders stuffing their bags with liquor and red bull. In fact, one vendor called them out on it when he asked for a red bull and they said «we are out», the vendor responded, «that’s not true, you shoved them in your bag.» At that point, one of the bartenders reached in their bag and handed this individual a red bull.
I tried to resolve this issue with Anthony but he has completely stopped answering my calls and emails. He said we could figure something out but he then turned around ignored all my attempts to speak to him. We lost thousands of dollars and had unhappy guests.
Last, my understanding is that Mr. Bartender will give you 20% off if you post a 5 Star review. Hence, all the fake reviews below. Find another company!

Drinks were on point and service was amazing! Had them bartend for my wedding this past Memorial Day weekend and it was a great hit! Saved so much going with them and had happy wedding guests ALL night long!!! Could not complain… had a comprehensive drink menu to choose from and Anthony was very flexible with modifying the drinks if requested and his estimates for drinks were on point — did not have very much left over booze at all! Do yourself a favor and go with Mr. Bartender and you will not be disappointed!

I’ve using Mr. Bartender and his team now for a few years and they’re simply the best! Always punctual and delivers amazing service to me and my clients!

Very happy! Mr. Bartender made our holiday party a great success. Will definitely work with them again.

Great communication before the event. Very helpful with the shopping list and helping me to save money every step of the way. Great service at the event. Our bartender was personable, fun, and excellent serving drinks. Highly recommend!

Professional and talented bartenders! Tended to my guests and helped with other bar service related issues. The drinks were so great! My friends still rave about that aspect of my last party months later. Was a pleasure to work with. Would recommend.

Great company to work with. Their craft cocktails are amazing! Fresh ingredients make the best cocktails and this company uses all fresh fruits, herbs, and mixers.

Great service! They really know what they’re doing, I can’t say enough! Great prices and totally worth every penny and more! I’ve used them multiple times and every time they’re absolutely amazing. Super prompt with emails and follow ups, great with ideas and brainstorming. Super helpful in every way! Literally cannot say enough about them. They always offer so much and go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect each time. Thank you so much!

We hired Mr. Bartender for our company party, his staff were awesome and professional! We chose some classic cocktails but with Mr. bartenders touch. They were all tasty and delicious. Our lead bartender Marcos made sure everything was on point and checked in with me half way through the event. He even made us some off menu cocktails which were amazing and unexpected. I would definitely recommend them.

Good drinks, nice staff. Only thing I would change for next time is requiring that the female wait staff doesn’t dress provocatively (read: like a stripper).
It was embarrassing to have her serving older guests (ladies) at my event.

Anthony is Great, Service is Great, and Will Definitely Recommend!

10 stars!
Absolutely loved Mr. B! Anthony and his team did a great job at our company holiday party. The drinks were tasty and well made :) I’m definitely going to book Mr. Bartender again!

Bottom line: great and affordable bartending and food service provider.
Details: we hired Mr. Bartender to provide bartenders, servers, and door security for a pre-​wedding party for 80+ people at a gallery space in Venice. CA. Anthony was great with communication before our event. And his pricing was quite competitive.
Mr. Bartender ultimately provided us with all staffing. Anthony also purchased all the alcohol /​drinks we needed for our big party. All the bartenders, servers, and security staff were professional and on-​time.

Mr. Bartender truly added the perfect spark to our holiday party. The guests were very happy and Dwain was a wonderful addition. We were so happy to have him.
I look forward to having Mr. Bartender at our next event!

I booked Mr. Bartender for my engagement pool party and couldn’t have been happier with the service! All of my questions were answered thoroughly and the possibilities were endless for customization to my specific needs. The bartender that Anthony sent was friendly and professional. I’m looking forward for the opportunity to book with Mr. Bartender again!

Used this service at my wedding over the weekend and keep getting compliments from all my guests. He was prompt, very polite and efficient in his work and kept the bar area looking nice and tidy. He looked great in the Mr. Bartender uniform of suspenders and a bow tie.
As far as booking, Anthony, was great at quickly responding to my inquiry and being honest with what I would and wouldn’t need for my small wedding of 70 guests. He didn’t try to talk me into anything — just sent over the paperwork I needed to fill out and answered my questions.
This was probably one of the easiest vendors I dealt with during my whole planning process. AND I only contacted them 3 weeks before my wedding but it was no problem! I definitely would recommend this service if you’re having an event!
