Frequently Asked Questions

​What is a dry-hire mobile bar?
You provide the alcohol, and we provide everything else — professional bartenders, bar setup, mixers, garnishes, ice, and full service. Maine liquor laws require clients to purchase their own alcohol unless a catering license is held. This also saves you money on liquor markups.

What’s included in your packages?
Bartenders, portable bar (if needed), mixers, garnishes, ice, cups/napkins, bar tools, setup, and breakdown.

Do you help with alcohol quantities?
Yes. We provide a customized shopping list and quantity guide based on your guest count and menu.

Are you insured?
Yes — we carry general liability and liquor liability insurance and can provide proof to your venue.

How many bartenders will we need?
Typically 1 bartender per 75 guests. We’ll make a recommendation based on your event size and cocktail menu.

Do you offer signature cocktails?
Absolutely. We love creating custom cocktail menus, including mocktails.

Can you serve at private homes or outdoor venues?
Yes — we regularly serve backyard weddings, barns, farms, and tented events throughout Maine.  We just need a flat space to set up.

Do you travel?
Yes, we travel throughout Maine and New England. Travel fees may apply depending on location.

Do you help us figure out how much alcohol to buy?

Absolutely. After booking, we provide a customized alcohol shopping list and quantity recommendations based on guest count.  We can also provide liquor and wine stores that work with us to get you the best price possible. ​We make it simple and stress-free.

Chef Lexy: "I started cooking when I was five, I loved watching mom and dad in the kitchen.  I had a weekly night where (with Dads help) I'd make dinner for the family, usually "Lexy Soup" in the beginning.  It started with a row in the garden to grow things for dinner, I'd bring in whatever felt right and see how it went together.  From a young age my mother instilled in me a will to travel, throughout my life I've taken every opportunity to go somewhere new and experience different cuisines and ways of life.  Professionally I've been in this industry since 2007, starting at In Good Company and Rustica in Rockland, Maine.  In 2009 I went to the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, VT also working in Stowe, VT during my time there.  While in school I had amazing internship opportunities at The Federal in Agawam, MA and the St. Julien Hotel in Boulder, CO.  After achieving my Associates in Culinary Arts I also received a Bachelors in Hospitality Management.  From there I worked and honed my skills at Buddha Sushi in St. Thomas U.S.V.I., the Tavern at the Haraseeket Inn in Freeport, ME, and a slew of Portland, ME restaurants including Walters, Fore Street, the Westin Hotel, Yosaku, and the Corner Room where I first moved to the front of house bartending and serving for guests.  Something important to me was to learn every position in a restaurant before opening my own but I also fell in love with the art of wine and cocktail offerings.  In 2017 I moved to Brunswick, ME and worked at Tao Yuan.  And finally I made it back home to Midcoast Maine in 2023.  Now I'm at Primo in Rockland, ME serving, bartending and creating cocktails.  I've filled my winters at the Rockport Harbor Hotel as breakfast chef and Franny's in Camden, ME serving and bartending.  Last summer season I was a bi-weekly guest Chef at Cellardoor Winery in Lincolnville, ME for food and wine pairing events offering a variety of cuisines paired with their wine.  I'm excited to work in this area again bringing my variety of skills to you."
