The Bartender Company – Alameda

I worked as a wedding DJ for years and these were some of the best bar tenders (carlos and dane) that I have ever met. Top quality service and great conversation. They would be the first company I would book for any event!

The Bartender Company helped the occupational therapy class at Samuel Merritt at a fundraising event. They did an excellent job and were very professional. The bar looked great and we raised more money than last year!
I am embarrassed to admit that I can’t remember the woman’s name (Luna?) who helped Dane at the event, but they were both friendly and engaging.
Thank you for bartending the event!

This was too easy.
I emailed Carlos with an inquiry and he responded immediately. We emailed back and forth a couple of times and voila — instant party on the books.
We had a cocktail party for 50. It was just perfect. The bar was beautifully decorated and had all the drinks and accoutrements necessary. We even had 2 signature drinks which were really popular.
Andy was our bartender and everything was even better than expected. He was right on time, did a great job, super friendly, easy going and made me just be able to relax and have a great time.
I would hire The Bartender Company again in a heartbeat and would definitely request Andy. All around, top notch.

I absolutely love Carlos! We just hosted our third party with his elegant, fun, professional assistance and couldn’t be happier. Our clients and friends love his demeanor and his drinks, and I couldn’t agree more. I can’t imagine having a party without him!

I hired TBC for a retro themed, 50s/​60s cocktail party in my home recently. They were FANTASTIC — from Carlos (the owner) coming to my home to assess the space and help plan the signature cocktails to Andy’s friendliness, excellent demeanor and bar-​tending skills… everyone loved him and asked me where I found him.
It was a great experience and I will definitely use them again should the need arise. I highly recommend TBC!
Thanks Carlos and Andy!

I hired the services of The Bartender Company (TBC) for two events for about 700 people I hosted at UC Berkeley. The first event was drinks during a World Cup Final screening, the second event was the opening reception of a conference.
From the get-​go, TBC was fantastic to work with. It was easy to reach Carlos, and together figure out the best model (types of drinks, coupons for drinks, local setup, etc.) for hosting each of these events. Then Carlos stopped by to scope out the space and together finalize where everything would be set up. This was all very professional and efficient.
Then on the event days themselves, the bar was set up really nicely, and the service was simply excellent! Fast service was really important to us during the world cup final as we didn’t want anyone to have to wait to get their drink, and sure enough Carlos brought the right number of (well trained!) people to staff the bar really well. They also cleaned up nicely and quickly after the event was over.
Finally, it was really easy to work with them in terms of payment, and they were very accommodating to our late-​breaking changes in head-​count.
Both events were a great success, and without a doubt for my next event TBC/​Carlos will be first on my list to contact!

We hired TBC for our recent wedding this past 06÷14÷14 and I we have nothing but great things to say about them. From beginning to end they were professional dealing with our demands. We started working with them last year and they have been very responsive and prompt when it comes to their communication with us. They respond so quickly! Carlos is amazing and just all-​around wonderful to work with. We did not have any issues whatsoever communicating with him. He is simply the best in this business and he really knows his stuff. He was clear when it came to our contract and was able to cater to our last minute request. On the day of our wedding, he was there early just as promised to set-​up and when it came time to do his thing he delivered with flying colors! The drinks were so tasty and all of our guests were impressed with them and his bartending skills and knowledge.
On top of this, he is a generous person! We highly recommend him, his staff, his business to anybody who is looking for and wanting top-​notch service. We are so happy that we went with him and his company. They are definitely worth it!
Thanks again, Carlos, for such a wonderful, no stress experience with you!

I worked with the Bartender Company for a work event, and was very pleased!
Preparing for the party, the company was responsive, and provided me a shopping list of recommended items to have on hand — it was very helpful.
Additionally, the bartender arrived on time, and was friendly and professional.
I would certainly work with this company again in the future for professional or personal events!

We recently used Carlos for a Cinco de Mayo themed party and he did a great job from beginning to end!
He was very responsive with our initial questions and helped us figure out what kind of drinks and services would work best for our event. He also put together a custom list of cocktails that would work well with our taco and margarita party.
On the day of the event, Carlos arrived early to make sure everything was set up according to plan. He was professional, friendly and accommodating. And, the drinks were great. All the syrups were home made, all juices and fruits were fresh and the bar was well stocked. He went out his way to make sure everyone was well taken care of — and it made the party a huge success.
Afterwards, Carlos made sure that everything was cleaned up and as it was before the party started.
We had a great experience with Carlos and The Bartender Company and we will definitely be using him again for future events!

I gifted two close friends with Carlos’ company’s services for their engagement party last month and *had* to write a review. The Bartender Company has an amazing offering!
Carlos contacted me back right away after I emailed for a quote and was wonderful during the planning, providing me with a list of items that either he would be bringing.
On the day of the party, Carlos showed up early and had already set up as much as possible by the time I arrived with all the goods. He even had a customized sign with a couple of special (and *delicious*) drinks that were options for the guests — many of them chose the special drinks, but had many other options as well (including a homemade lemonade).
The engaged couple, as well as all the guests, were thrilled with Carlos and his bar.; they all said it actually *made* the party.
Many of us will be using the Bartender Company again… and again… and again…
