Handmade Portable Event Bars Built to Order by Local Craftsmen

White Glove Delivery, Straight to Your Doorstep

Your bar is never shipped by FedEx or UPS — big carriers don't know how to handle a handmade collapsible bar, so we never hand yours to one. The craftsman who built your bar personally delivers it, drops it off where you need it, and sets it up in your space. You see it and approve it before you sign anything.

Watch It Break Down

Watch a full bar come apart: the countertop lifts off, the shelf slides out, and both side panels lift straight off their hinges — no tools needed. It packs flat for transport and storage, then sets back up at the next event.

FAQ

How are the bars delivered and assembled?

Each bar is handcrafted by our local independent contractors and delivered directly to you. They arrive fully assembled or with minimal, easy to follow assembly required, depending on the model.

What is the typical lead time?

Since each bar is custom-made to order, our standard lead time is one to two weeks from the date of purchase.

Do you offer warranty?

Yes, we include 30 day-warranty covering any defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty does not cover damages resulting from misuse, accidents, or personal dissatisfaction.

Do you accept custom orders?

Yes — we do accept custom orders. Tell us what you want built on our Custom Orders page and we'll match your project with a local craftsman from our network. Our mobile bars themselves are built to standard, pre-designed specifications, with set color options — white, black, or unpainted — so you can purchase quickly and we can get started right away without delays.
