Choose the menu first
Send the drinks you want to offer, including nonalcoholic choices. Beer, wine and simple two- or three-ingredient drinks fit this service; specialty cocktail production needs a separate discussion.

Light Bartending in St. Louis
Our light bartending service supports beer, wine and simple mixed drinks supplied by the host. A clear menu keeps the station easier to stock and the queue easier to manage. Tell us whether drinks will be served at one bar, at several stations or alongside dinner.
A manageable drinks plan, with someone looking after the station
Plan the supplies
The host provides alcohol and the bar setup. Confirm glassware or cups, ice, mixers, garnishes, opening tools, water and the place to dispose of empty bottles before the event.
Give the bar its own space
Allow a clear route for guests and a practical replenishment area. If a helper will also cover a buffet, tell us when those demands overlap so the quote can account for both roles.
Work to discuss in your request
- Serving beer, wine, and simple mixed drinks (for example gin and tonic or rum and coke)
- Popular 2–3 ingredient cocktails — nothing flamy or highly specialized
- Pouring wine, opening and serving beer, keeping the bar clean and well-stocked
- Host supplies alcohol and bar setup; we staff the pour and pace
- Same crew can support buffet flow when booked that way
This is staffing for host-supplied drinks. Alcohol purchase, a full cocktail program and venue permissions are not included by submitting a request. We review the venue's requirements and proposed service before accepting the booking.
What to include for a useful quote
- Drink list and approximate guest count
- Number and location of bar stations
- Who supplies and delivers ice, drinks and glassware
- Service start, last pour and cleanup time

Review the offer
Our office checks availability and follows up with the proposed staffing, hours, scope and price. A saved website request is not a reservation.

Questions about light bartending
Do you bring the alcohol?
The host supplies the alcohol, mixers and bar setup. Include your proposed drinks list so we can review the staffing and supplies with you.
Can I request a complex cocktail menu?
Please send it for review. Light bartending is intended for beer, wine and straightforward mixed drinks; specialized techniques and equipment are not assumed to be part of the service.
