FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

DO YOU OFFER THE SALE OF THE ALCOHOL?


Alcohol must be purchased by the client and our team will assist you through the ordering process.  Our licensed bartenders are legally allowed to service it once bought! 

IF YOU ARE NOT PROVIDING THE ALCOHOL, WHERE SHOULD I GET IT?

 

We do work with a few preferred partners that we can connect you with to order liquor, wine, and beer in advance.  We will put the order together for you and can have the alcohol delivered to your event.

 

DO YOU CARRY INSURANCE AND WHAT KIND OF PERMITS ARE REQUIRED?

 

We carry General Liability Insurance and Liquor Liability Insurance.  It is your responsibility to obtain the proper licenses and permits for the event. 

 

CAN YOU SERVICE A NON-ALCOHOLIC EVENT?

 

Absolutely! We are happy to service any type of event and provide a non-alcoholic beverage menu ranging from craft sodas, ice tea/lemonades, kombucha, coffee and more!

 

WHERE ARE YOU BASED AND HOW FAR WILL YOU TRAVEL?

 

The Bow Bar is based in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.  If your event is outside of a 25 mile radius, be sure to book with us as early as you can so we can plan around your event.  Additional fees may be added to any event outside of a 25 mile radius and are charged on a mileage basis.

 

WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF YOUR MOBILE BAR?

 

The Bow Bar measurements are 70” tall by 117” long by 60” wide.  It is designed to fit through a standard double door if your event is indoor.

 

HOW CAN YOU HELP US PLAN A DRINK MENU FOR OUR EVENT?

 

We can help create speciality cocktails, cocktail menus and provide beer and wine expertise to make your event special. We have a craft cocktail menu available as well. Let's have some fun!

 

DO YOU HAVE A RAIN DATE POLICY?

 

Though we cannot change dates last minute due to inclement weather, our mobile bar works well under a tent or even inside.  The host is responsible for tent coverage of the bar, but we are happy to work with your tent vendor to find the appropriate size tent for your event.

 

WHAT IS YOU PAYMENT AND REFUND POLICY?

 

A 50% deposit will be required to confirm your reservation. All but the processing fee and $150 of the retainer is fully refundable to the Client if the Client, or an authorized party thereof, cancels more than 60 days from the event date; however, the retainer is non-refundable if the Client, or an authorized party thereof, cancels more than 30 days, but less than 60 days from the event. The remaining balance will be due no less than 15 days before the event.

 

WHAT DOES THE BOW BAR REQUIRE FOR SETUP?

 

The Bow Bar requires relatively flat ground for setup and service, rear access for setup and service, and excited guests ready to create memories!
