The tables with white linens is the default bar, unless a bar upgrade is added, or another bar is provided by the venue, client, or any other rental company.
The Bustender
The crown jewel of all mobile bars. A mobile bar built from our 1973 VW Bus. It includes all needed keg cooling systems, 3 beer taps, fold-down bar, and pop-up roof. This will be a really fun centerpiece to your reception, and help create a unique and creative feel for your event. Great for outdoor events, or indoors in a larger venue.
Comes with all listed items above and in our standard bar services HERE, plus boho-inspired rug, punch and water stand, wooden shelf for client-provided floral or other decoration,
* Prices starting at $1595 + Bartender’s Rate

The Bustender is not a stand-alone rental, like our other bars listed below. This item is only included with our bartending services.
Bartender’s Bar with Lights
This bar was designed and built by the staff of Kitsap Bartending Services, so it includes features that are ideal for Bartenders – while still looking great and fitting most styles. The bar top is the standard bar height, so guests and Bartenders will feel comfortable ordering and working with these dimensions. It also features an “ice well” to store clean ice for cocktails or as another ice bucket for bottles – built in to the hidden storage counter behind the bar, so you can fit all the needed supplies, bottles, and tools without cluttering the bar top.
One major problem that occurs with outdoor events is lighting – once the sun sets, and the party lights from the DJ start, lighting can be very scarce behind the bar and it can be a cause for major issue for guests walking to the bar and also for the Bartenders searching in the dark for the correct ingredients or tools. We have resolved that problem with beautiful copper scaffolding with built-in Edison-style bulbs that is hooked up to a dimmer to set the preferred lighting. The bar comes with all of the electrical cords and a long-lasting inverter if used where no electricity outlets are available.
* Price: $300 as bar upgrade with services (no delivery fee) or $375 as stand-alone rental (have it delivered and picked up within Kitsap for $50 or free pick-up in Bremerton)
* If renting without our bartending services, a $250 security deposit will be held and refunded upon return and inspection
White Magnolia Bar
A new and more modern bar to our line-up. The White Magnolia Bar is an all-white, gloss finish, 6-foot bar, featuring three designer panels with LED inlays that can be used to match the event theme colors, or as a warm light to help illuminate the bar once the sun sets.
Fully collapsible for easy transport with a large working area for the Bartenders and an inset ice bucket, with a rising panel in the front to be a standard bar-height that will act as the perfect ordering station, while also hiding the ice buckets, bottles, and tools for a more sleek display.
* Price: $300 as bar upgrade with services (no delivery fee) – only available with bartending services, not as a stand-alone rental like the others.
Live-Edge Rustic Bar
This locally, hand-crafted mobile bar featuring a beautiful live-edge bar top is perfect for both outdoor and indoor events and fits perfectly with rustic or eclectic themes. The Rustic Bar measures closer to typical bar height – rather than the lower table in the basic package. Also, on the service side of the bar, there is a storage shelf for quick access to any bar supplies or extra alcohol stored out-of-sight. Sturdy and very durable – our Rustic Bar will definitely help create a focus on the bar area.
* Price: $200 as bar upgrade with services (no delivery fee) or $250 as stand-alone rental (have it delivered and picked up within Kitsap for $50 or free pick-up in Bremerton)
* If renting without our bartending services, a $250 security deposit will be held and refunded upon return and inspection
Farmstyle Bar
Our Farmstyle Bar is great for any indoor or outdoor event with a white front and a dark brown bar top. With a large serving space, while still being compact to fit in almost any space. This bar also measures closer to typical bar height – rather than the lower table in the basic package. Also, on the service side of the bar, there is a storage shelf for quick access to any bar supplies or extra alcohol stored out-of-sight. Sturdy and very durable – our Farmstyle Bar will definitely help create a focus on the bar area.
* Price: $200 as bar upgrade with services (no delivery fee) or $250 as stand-alone rental (have it delivered and picked up within Kitsap for $50 or free pick-up in Bremerton)
* If renting without our bartending services, a $250 security deposit will be held and refunded upon return and inspection
Additional Staffing: Servers + Bussers
Elevate services or fill-in when catering doesn’t offer staffing with our experienced Servers/Bussers OR have an extra hand to help with bussing glassware, serving drinks table-side, . Our team will help pass appetizers, set-up buffet tables, replenish food, bus (clean) tables from dinner and beverage services, re-fill guest water glasses, and assist the other Food + Beverage staff as needed.
Each Server/Busser comes with their own large black serving tray and bussing tubs.
* Price: $90/hr for 1 Server/Busser; $70/hr per additional Server/Busser
(3-hour minimum)
SUGGESTIONS: Although, this is mostly an optional and added service so you can choose any amount of staffing and hours you need, we’ve put together our list of suggestions on how many Servers/Bussers you’ll need and how long:
- Start 1-hour before Food Service starts in order to set-up, prep, and familiarize themselves with the menu, IF only passing and setting up.
- Allow additional time for larger groups or if more set-up (glassware, plates, etc.) is needed.
- If simple passed appetizers, and general bussing is needed – 1-2 Servers/Bussers for events less than 100, and 2-4 for larger events. If needing help with all of that and also setting up buffet, replenishing, etc., or full-service dinner, 4+ Servers/Bussers recommended.
- We will work with you to determine your needs and find the best service times and how many staffing will be needed, but this will give us a starting idea on what will be the best outcome for your needs.
NOTE: If using glassware for bar-related services* (from us or another vendor) we require at least ONE Server/Busser to help with the setting up, prepping, and bussing so the Bartenders can focus on and have time for bartending if over 75 guests. *exception if it is only water glasses that will be set on the table and catering or coordinating is setting those up and filling them OR a designated Busser is included through another vendor or venu (must disclose beforehand).
Only available as an add-on when booking standard bartending services. Our Servers/Bussers are not Bartenders, and can only help serve food, or non-alcoholic beverages, deliver poured alcoholic beverages (by the licensed Bartenders), bus tables of glassware and plates, and any other dining and drinking related service noted above, or help move bar locations mid-service.
Glassware
As stated, we do provide disposable biodegradeable “glass”ware (example HERE) in 9-oz. wine, 16-oz. beer, 10-oz. cocktail, and 9-oz. water sizes with all services at no extra fee. Our disposables are perfectly acceptable for finer events, however, some hosts prefer to use true glassware. Our commercial-grade glassware is tempered, high-quality, and very durable, so they are less-likely to break during use than others. Aside from looking better than the disposable “glass”ware, they are MUCH more eco-friendly and helps reduce waste. Rent as few as 25 glasses, and up to 250 per style – Wine, Beer, Highball, Flutes, and Stemless all available.
Prices (per glass):
- Beer Pint: $1.75 (minimum of 25)
- Standard Wine: $1.50 (minimum of 25)
- Champagne Flute: $1.75 (minimum of 36)
- Cocktail Glass: $1.50 (minimum of 25)
- Stemless Water: $1.50 (minimum of 25)
* Prices include delivery if used with our bartending services, with no deposit required. Intentional breakage or excessive accidental by guests will be subject to replacement fees. (have your order delivered and picked up within Kitsap for $75 or free pick-up in Bremerton)
NOTES: We strongly suggest adding at least one Busser/Server to services for events larger than 75 guests when using glassware to make sure there’s adequate staffing for unloading glasses, setting them up for services, tables can be cleared, glasses replenished, and packed back up at the end of the night – so the bartending crew can focus on bartending. For larger events, we may require it with glassware rental.
* If renting without our bartending services, a security deposit (pending quantity) will be required and $2.50 will be kept for every broken or unreturned glass.
3-Tap Jockey Box
A stainless steel mobile jockey box, with 3 taps. All required tubes, a full 5-lb. CO2 tank, and stainless steel cooling plates needed to pour any size keg. Aside from looking better than the hand-pump keg tap, a jockey box will pour faster, help ensure the beer is cold with proper carbonation, and create less waste of beer via excess foam.
* Price: $150 as bar upgrade with services (no delivery fee) or $200 as stand-alone rental (have it delivered and picked up within Kitsap for $50 or free pick-up in Bremerton)
* If renting without our bartending services, a $150 security deposit will be held and refunded upon return and inspection
KEG BUCKETS NOT INCLUDED!
Kegs are STILL required to be kept cold before we arrive, therefore the needed keg tubs (pictured here) are NOT included – as you will need to keep the keg on ice until we arrive, and if the tubs don’t arrive until we do, you can’t properly keep them on ice beforehand.
Coffee – De-Caf – Tea – Hot Cocoa Services
Treat your guests to some coffee, hot tea, or cocoa with our hot beverage services. All services include one coffee brewer or water heater, insulated airpot(s), drink caddy station, required ingredients (listed below), stir sticks, and white disposable cups.

Soft Drink Station
Although we offer our non-alcoholic punch and water station (with dispensers), some hosts like to offer more non-alcoholic options for guests. This package includes FOUR flavors of soda; Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Flavored Seltzer Water (other flavors can be substituted pending availability and comparable price).
Price: $100 (approximately 60-70 servings)
Please note, the Soft Drink Station is NOT intended to be the replacement for cocktail mixers, simply another non-alcoholic option for guests to enjoy throughout the day.
30-Liter 2-Tank Slushie Machine
Say goodbye to loud shaking and blenders – while still getting that ice-cold beverage. Elevate your signature drink experience with our 30-Liter 2-Tank Commercial-Grade Slushie Machine. Each tank can hold 15-liters at a time (approximately 80-110 beverages – total 160-220 beverages).
You can choose between having two different beverages, an alcohol version or a non-alcohol version of your favorite drink, or just have a lot of one choice for larger crowds so you don’t risk needing to pause for re-slushing (we can pour from one, while the second is making more, and alternate between the tanks).
BONUS: Did you know, many boozy slushie vendors only offer a handful of options? That’s often because they use a neon syrupy mix. Or worse, just pour in a standard cocktail recipe, not understanding the needed adjustments so it never truly freezes. However, working with boozy slushies for many years, we’ve figured out the chemistry to get the sugar:water:alcohol ratios (brix measurement) correct so we can slush up almost any classic or original cocktail, wine, or mocktail.
* Price: $250 as bar upgrade with services (only available with our bartending services and not a stand-alone rental)
** Rental Includes machine, additional table, and additional Sugar Syrup ONLY. We will work with you to determine all other ingredients needed.
NOTE: Requires access to 115-volt outlet and uses 1100 watts. Please confirm with your venue that there is ample power and can have a designated power breaker.
Dehydrated Garnishes
Add a unique and fun garnish to your Signature Cocktail with any of our in-house dehydrated garnishes. Not only is it a fun way to add an elevated appearance, once the garnish is placed in the liquid, it slowly seeps flavor to add an additional layer to the flavor.
