Kansas City, Missouri

Mobile Bar / Servers

In Kansas City: Three bar services are listed, in Shawnee, Lenexa and Kansas City, with a retail block after them for buying the beer, wine and spirits yourself. Two of the three sit on the Kansas side, which matters if your venue is in Missouri because you may be hiring across the line. Alcohol is licensed by the state your venue stands in, not by the metro, so a company that works both sides has to hold the right permissions for your side of it. Ask directly whether they are licensed to serve at your specific address, then ask the venue to confirm the same thing, because the two answers are not always identical. This annex will not print either state's requirements from memory, so get both in writing. With a list this short, book the bar close to when you book the venue rather than waiting for the six-month mark. Budget $1,500 to $6,000.

Buying the beer, wine and spirits yourself

These are retail sources, not event services — nobody here staffs your bar. Where your venue allows it, buying the alcohol yourself and hiring a licensed bartender to serve it is usually the cheapest way to do this line. The rules vary by state, by county and by venue, so confirm what yours permits — and whether your setup needs its own permit — before you count on the saving.
