AGLC regulations in Alberta do not allow the sale of alcohol from a mobile bar. The host of the event is responsible for purchasing alcohol and acquiring a Liquor Licence so we can legally dispense any alcoholic beverages. We are more than happy to help you make your beverage selections through our suppliers (kegs & bottle service available) and even pick up and drop off the kegs for no additional charge.

We can serve most non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages available in kegs by ProServe Certified bartenders. Favourites include locally crafted soda, lemonade, Kombucha, Prosecco, wine, beer, mixed cocktails and our signature “boozy” or “non-boozy” floats. We can also provide a full service bar (with soda mix on tap).
