What are mobile bars?

Mobile bars are essentially fully functional bars that are portable and can be taken to any event or location. They are designed to be both stylish and functional, with a range of features and customizable options. These bars can be used for a variety of events, from weddings and corporate parties to music festivals and private parties. They can be booked by event planners, individuals, and businesses looking to add a unique touch to their event.

The mobile bar trend can be traced back to the 1960s when mobile catering vans were used to serve food and beverages at outdoor events. However, the trend really started to take off in the 2010s when event planners began looking for more innovative and unique ways to serve alcohol at events. Today, mobile bars have become a popular option for events of all kinds.

Mobile bars come in all shapes and sizes, with a range of features and customizable options. A typical mobile bar will come with everything you need to serve drinks, including a bar counter, sink, ice maker, beer taps, and refrigeration. Many mobile bars also come with a selection of glassware, cocktail shakers, and other bar tools. In addition, mobile bars can be customized with a range of options, from custom graphics and branding to specific drink menus and bartenders.

 

In conclusion, mobile bars are a great option for anyone looking to add a unique touch to their event. With the mobile bar trend continuing to grow, we can expect to see more of these portable bars at events across Pittsburgh and beyond.
