San Antonio & New Braunfels, Texas

Mobile Bar / Servers

In San Antonio & New Braunfels: This is a thin category in this region. Three mobile bartending companies are listed, two in San Antonio and one in Selma, with a separate retail block after them for buying the beer, wine and spirits yourself. Book the bartender early rather than assuming supply will be there. Out in the county many ranch and barn properties are bring-your-own alcohol with a licensed bartender required, while downtown hotels and halls usually hold the service in house and will not let you supply it. Establish which situation you are in before you price anything, and get the bartender's licensing and liability insurance confirmed in writing. Expect roughly $1,500 to $6,500. The detail couples underestimate here is volume: a south-central Texas afternoon goes through ice and water at a rate a national estimate will not anticipate, so agree the ice plan, the water stations and who refills them, especially at a remote property with no store nearby.

Buying the beer, wine and spirits yourself

These are retail sources, not event services — nobody here staffs your bar. Where your venue allows it, buying the alcohol yourself and hiring a licensed bartender to serve it is usually the cheapest way to do this line. The rules vary by state, by county and by venue, so confirm what yours permits — and whether your setup needs its own permit — before you count on the saving.
