Your guests buy their own drinks. We handle everything else.
A cash bar gives your event a full professional bar without paying for what your guests drink. We bring the bartenders, bar setup, mixers, and ice. Guests simply purchase drinks at the bar.
What Is a Cash Bar?
At a cash bar, guests pay for their own drinks individually. You pay a flat fee for the bar setup and professional staffing, and your budget stays fixed no matter how much your guests drink.
How Our Cash Bar Service Works
Want the alcohol handled for you? These programs include beer, wine, or full spirits, provided through our licensed, ABC-compliant partners, so your event stays fully compliant with zero effort on your end.
All alcohol sales are conducted under the license of our ABC-compliant partners. Mint Bartending provides event staffing, bar operations, and non-alcoholic provisions. Cash bar events include a service fee and are subject to a minimum sales guarantee, venue approval, and event details.
Cash Bar Pricing
Every event is different, so we build each quote around your guest count, hours, and menu. Request a quote and we’ll send you a clear, all-in number with no hidden fees.
What’s Included
Perfect For
Cash bars work best for larger gatherings where guests expect to buy their own drinks.
Hybrid Options: The Best of Both
