What to Ask Before Booking
- In most areas, the client purchases the alcohol and the bartender provides the service. Check your local laws — some jurisdictions require a temporary event permit or special occasion license for serving alcohol at a private event
- For BYOB setups, ask your bartender for a shopping list based on your guest count and drink preferences. A good bartender will estimate quantities so you don't overbuy or run out
- Plan one bartender per 50 guests for cocktail service, or one per 75 guests for beer and wine only. Events with 100+ guests should have at least two bartenders to keep lines short
- If you want a signature cocktail, discuss it with your bartender 1-2 weeks ahead so they can source ingredients and practice the recipe

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a mobile bar rental cost in Newark?
Mobile bar packages in Newark range from $150 for a bar unit rental without staff to $1,500 for a premium full-service cocktail bar with bartenders. A typical 4-hour beer and wine bar with one bartender runs $300-$500. Full cocktail service with a bartender averages $500-$900. Alcohol is usually purchased separately by the host.
Do I need a liquor license to serve alcohol at my backyard party in Newark?
For private backyard parties in Newark where you are not selling alcohol, you typically do not need a liquor license. However, if you're charging guests (like a ticketed event), you may need a temporary event permit. Your bartender or bar rental company should be familiar with NJ regulations and can advise you on what's required.
How many bartenders do I need for my event?
For beer and wine service, plan one bartender per 75 guests. For full cocktail service, plan one per 50 guests. An event with 100 guests and cocktail service should have two bartenders. Add a barback (assistant) for events over 75 guests to keep the bar stocked and the area clean.
What do I provide vs. what does the bar service provide?
The bar service typically provides the portable bar, bartender(s), glassware, barware, ice, and basic garnishes. You are responsible for purchasing all alcohol and mixers (unless the vendor offers a full-service option). Some companies offer package deals that include mixers, sodas, and garnishes — ask about what's included when you get a quote.
