Frequently Asked Questions

Our Basic Bar Package starts at $1,000 — one bartender for up to 5 hours and 75 guests, including setup and cleanup. From there you can add a second bartender ($300), a custom signature cocktail ($100), fresh homemade syrups ($3/guest), and more.

Dry-hire means you purchase the alcohol and we handle everything else — the bartender, mixers, garnishes, setup, and cleanup. You buy alcohol at retail prices instead of paying venue markups, so it keeps your costs down.

No — as a dry-hire service, our clients provide all the alcohol. We’ll give you a shopping list based on your guest count and drink menu so you buy exactly what you need.

Yes. Our bartenders hold Oklahoma ABLE seller/server certification, and we carry both liquor liability and general liability insurance. (We’re dry-hire, so we serve the alcohol you provide — we never sell it.)

We’re based in the OKC metro and include a 50-mile radius from Moore at no extra charge — covering Oklahoma City, Norman, Edmond, Yukon, Mustang, and surrounding towns. We serve all of Oklahoma; events beyond 50 miles have a $2-per-mile one-way travel fee.

As soon as you have your date — we’re currently booking 2027 and 2028. Popular Saturdays go fast, especially April through October, so 6–12 months out is ideal.

One professional bartender, up to 5 hours of service, up to 75 guests, portable bar and full bar setup, plus complete setup and cleanup. You bring the alcohol; we bring everything else.

A good rule of thumb is one bartender per 50–75 guests. For larger crowds or faster service at peak times, add a second bartender for $300.

Absolutely — it’s one of our favorite things to do. A custom signature cocktail (like a his-and-hers pair for weddings) is $100, including a tasting so it’s perfect before the big day. We also do Story Toppers: your memories printed onto edible drink toppers ($3/guest).

Yes! When you book ahead, we can schedule a tasting to try cocktail options and finalize your drink menu.

A 50% non-refundable retainer reserves your date, with the remaining balance and final guest count due 14 days before the event.

We ask for a $250 minimum gratuity per bartender, and you’re welcome to set out a tip jar so guests can show extra love.

Just give us your final count 14 days before the event and we’ll adjust staffing, supplies, and your quote.

Yes — beautiful mocktails and drink stations, so every guest has something special in hand.

With The Social Pour, yes — we’re dry-hire, so you purchase the alcohol and we handle the rest. Most clients prefer it this way: buying at retail saves a lot over venue markups, and we’ll give you a precise shopping list so nothing goes to waste.

Plan on about one drink per guest per hour — so 100 guests over 4 hours is roughly 400 drinks across beer, wine, and cocktails. When you book with us, we turn your guest count and menu into an exact shopping list.

Six to twelve months ahead is ideal — we’re booking 2027 and 2028 now, and prime Saturdays from April through October go first. If your date’s still open on shorter notice, we’ll make it happen — just ask.

We do. The Social Pour brings a portable bar and complete bar setup — tools, coolers, garnish stations, everything needed to run a full-service bar anywhere. If your venue already has a bar area, we can work with that too.

Yes — custom menus are one of our specialties. We’ll design drinks around your theme, colors, or story (his-and-hers is a wedding favorite), then print beautiful menus and signage for the bar. Custom signature cocktails start at $100.

Absolutely. We make handcrafted mocktails that look and feel just as special as the cocktails, plus dedicated non-alcoholic drink stations so every guest has something worth celebrating with.

Yes — corporate events are one of our specialties, from office holiday parties to client receptions. We’re licensed and insured, provide invoices and certificates of insurance for your venue or accounting department, and can scale staffing for any group size.

Absolutely. We add bartenders ($300 each) and servers ($200 each) to keep lines short — typically one bartender per 50–75 guests. Give us your headcount and we’ll build the right team.

Yes. We provide itemized invoices and can supply a certificate of insurance if your venue requires it. Just tell us what your company needs when you book.

We don’t do cash bars — under Oklahoma law, selling drinks by the glass requires a liquor license, and we’re a dry-hire service. Most companies host the bar instead (you cover the alcohol and our services), which keeps you compliant and your guests happy.

Yes, and we love doing it. We’ll design cocktails in your brand colors, name them after your company or event theme, and print custom menus and signage — a great touch for launches, holiday parties, and client events.

Definitely — home and backyard parties are some of our favorites. We bring the portable bar and full setup to you, turning your living room or patio into a real cocktail bar for the night. You supply the alcohol; we handle the rest.

Our Basic Bar Package starts at $1,000 — one bartender for up to 5 hours and 75 guests, including setup and cleanup. Most birthdays, anniversaries, and backyard parties fit comfortably in that package.

Just the alcohol and a spot to set up. We bring the bar, tools, mixers, garnishes, and coolers — plus a simple checklist ahead of time so you’re fully prepared.

Yes — setup, bar breakdown, and cleanup are included in every package. When the last guest leaves, we pack up and leave the space the way we found it, so you actually get to enjoy your own party.

We do both — and they’re some of our busiest seasons, themed cocktails included. Our Halloween-through-New-Year’s calendar fills fast, so book December dates early. Same goes for May graduations.

About one drink per guest per hour, plus two in the first hour — but the exact count depends on your crowd and bar style. Use our free wedding alcohol calculator for your exact shopping list.
