Basic bar staging is provided for all packages. This consists of menu signs, interior/exterior décor touches and 4 stools for extra sitting at out hitch table. For events that need extra décor,( i.e.. weddings, themed parties) we add our own combinations of lights, garlands, florals, and décor pieces at our own discretion. Clients are welcome to have custom floral arrangements, balloon arches etc. added to the mobile bar.

Even though currently it looks like the days of Covid protocols are behind us, we will keep following our own scheduling protocols. If your scheduled event needs changed or postponed, we will do everything possible to help find a solution that works for everyone. We are in this together!

The horse bar trailer itself needs a minimum space of 12ft. wide by 20ft. long and 9ft. high, including the hitch table on the front. It has to be parked on a level spot to be safe for us all to enjoy. We require enough space to pull it in and out with a full-size truck, so the more space the better. The bar does have serving windows on each side however, so in a pinch it can help with tricky parking arrangements.

Our trailer bar was designed to be fully sustainable; we have a generator to power all our needs. If we're able to plug in, that's even better and require a 30amp RV outlet.

We are fully licensed through Washington State, L&I and the Health Department. We carry liquor liability insurance, as well as the trailer itself being insured. Our staff of professionals all carry valid food handlers’ cards and are MAST12 certified.

We have two home bases; Vashon Island, WA. and Kittitas, WA. Hauling is free up to 30 miles from either location, after that is $3/mile to help cover expenses and any wear & tear on our pretty trailer. We love to travel and are open to anywhere so just ask!
