    No communication

    contact@drbartender.com I emailed them several times with no reply!!!! Wedding July 18: I felt compelled to ensure someone was made aware of the disconnect and dissatisfaction at my daughter’s wedding last Friday evening. First, I want to make very clear. I do not believe it’s the fault of the two bartenders. I was on the planning phone call prior and felt we had a solid plan. There was clearly NO communication. 1. As I was walking thru, a bartender grabbed me (mother of the Bride) and asked me if I knew what they were serving?!? I told her the two mock tails and I directed her to the items in the bar & kitchen. I advised her the set up bar outside and showed her where to place it. I also reminded her of the lemon and lime garnish. I informed her of the service elevator location. **if this was a new location why wasn’t this information provided to them?!?! So glad I walked by…. 2. The bar outside never got set up. They used a table with a black tablecloth. This is not what we agreed upon..you sent us a picture of the pop up bar! 3. The mocktails evidently did not need club soda, but for some reason Club soda was on the grocery list. I have 16 L unopened in my garage?!?! See mocktail sign with ingredients. Why did I purchase? 4. Garnish… not one drink had a garnish during appetizer hour. I noticed later inside, lemon & lime wedges were cut. Not sure if they were used. 5. On the phone we talked about having a tea & lemonade dispenser on the end of the bar and I asked if they could keep filled. The reply was yes! Neither knew to question. The dispensers were never placed. They poured iced tea upon request from a gallon jug. If they knew they were to keep filled as we discussed why didn’t they question?!? 6. Tip jar. We were very clear on the call, greenhouse loft does not allow tip jars so we paid 20% gratuity ahead of time. Not once, but twice, it was requested they remove the tip jar off the counter. The jars appeared pretty healthy. I suggest the pre paid gratuity gets credited. 7. On the call we discussed alcohol service after 930 yet my daughter, the Bride, flags me during dinner that people are walking around with beer bottles. There was a reason we had alcohol during the after party. Ashamed this request was not respected. 8. At the end of the night the bar was nicely cleaned. I leaned over to find 9 items in the fridge. Wine, sparkling cider & tea. 6 of the 9 items had no lids or corks. The white wine & 3 ciders were full, never used. So wasteful!!!! My husband and I poured down the sink in the kitchen. 9. The grocery list was received 2 days prior. We spoke very clearly on timing & types of beverage service yet the grocery list included coke, Diet Coke, etc. We were not serving soda?!?! clearly no attention to detail. I’m sure there may be other things. These are the things that caught my attention. Very disappointed and would not recommend this type of service to my family or friends.

We recommend booking as soon as possible to secure your date, but we can often accommodate more last-minute requests depending on availability. Don’t hesitate to reach out—we’ll do our best to work with your timeline and ensure everything is in place for your event.
There are no guest minimums for BYOB events where we provide bartending service only. For events where we supply the alcohol, we require a minimum of 50 guests to ensure we can meet your needs effectively. We’re happy to discuss your specific event details and see how we can best accommodate your celebration, whether it’s a small intimate gathering or a larger event.
Travel fees apply only for events in Chicago due to the challenges of transporting our team and equipment. Many of our bartenders use public transit, and the fee ensures we can deliver the same high level of service for your event. For events closer to areas where we have staff, there is typically no travel fee. We'll confirm any applicable fees during the proposal process to ensure transparency and clarity.
Our process is designed to be as seamless as possible through our online tools. For most clients, the main consultation happens via our easy-to-use menu designer form, where you can input all the details about your event. If you prefer a more personal touch, we're happy to schedule a consultation instead. We’re always available if you need additional assistance, and depending on how far in advance you book, we may do a final check-in to confirm details closer to the event.
Yes, we offer tastings upon request so you can sample our signature cocktails before your event. Tastings are available for a small fee, which will be applied toward your final booking if you choose to work with us.
We do have bar setups available for rent to make your event seamless. For additional rental needs, such as glassware or other equipment, we have trusted partners we can recommend. In some cases, we may also be able to facilitate those rentals on a case-by-case basis. Just let us know what you need, and we’ll see how we can help!
Our packages range from BYOB (bar service only) to full alcohol-included (A-I) options, with customizable levels in between. You can add extras like cups, ice, mixers, and more to fit your event’s needs. We’ll work with you to build the perfect package based on your preferences and budget.
Yes, most events feature a selection of signature cocktails chosen through our menu designer form or during a consultation. For BYOB events, we base the shopping list around your selected cocktails to ensure everything is perfectly tailored to your event. Whether you have a few favorites in mind or need help choosing, we’ll make sure the drinks reflect your vision.
Yes, we can provide banquet servers, but only if we are also handling the bar service for your event. This allows us to ensure smooth coordination and seamless service for both the bar and dining areas. Let us know if you need additional staff, and we’ll be happy to discuss options!
Our main office is based in Northern Illinois, and we proudly serve the Midwest, typically within 200 miles of Chicago. However, with staff located throughout the region, we’re able to accommodate events in various locations. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, feel free to reach out, and we'll do our best to accommodate your event!
Yes, we carry both general and liquor liability insurance, with coverage up to $2 million. This ensures that your event is fully protected, giving you peace of mind while we handle the bar service.
Our bartending services include everything you need for a seamless event. With all packages, including basic BYOB, you'll receive: 1 hour of setup and 1 hour of breakdown/clean-up Full bar service for the duration of your event A bar and cooler to keep drinks cold A consultation to discuss your needs A custom shopping list tailored to your signature cocktails (for BYOB events) A bespoke display menu to showcase your drink offerings. We make sure every detail is covered to ensure your event is a success! This version is clearer, with everything in order. Let me know if it’s good to go!
