Corporate Happy Hour

We used them for our Corporate Happy Hour, would recommend! They were very responsive and helpful, on time, and the best part was I didn't have to worry about anything while hosting. The 2 special cocktails they came up with were also very yummy.

Bars on Wheels were excellent to work with on our wedding day. They kept in constant communication leading up to the day and arrived on time, set up, and the bartenders were amazing while serving. We cannot recommend them enough. Great price, super helpful, communicative, and perfect follow through!

Excellent!

We had our daughters wedding on our family farm in Pierce Township. I didn’t want to mess with serving alcohol so I hired Bars On Wheels Kristen, Maylou were wonderful to work with. They were prompt, served up amazing drinks, great customer service, and even decorated their Bars On Wheels to match my daughter’s, rustic chic theme!
