Kevin’s Bartending Services

I recently used Kevin’s Bartending Service for an event at Fort Mason in San Francisco. I could not be more pleased. From start to finish, we received professional, friendly, easy going, affordable service. I run a non-​profit, which was holding its first big event. We had received a last minute wine donation, and the event space required a licensed bartender. What to do on our tight budget? KBS was the answer to our prayers. They knew the venue and how to handle all the bureaucracy, so I did not have to manage any extra details. They were super flexible with our budget, and our bartender was a doll. He even was game to help us get ice last minute to chill the white wine, all with a smile on his face and support for our cause. I recommend KBS without hesitation and would be glad to use them again!

I found Kevin in my search for a certified insured bartender. I just had a wedding reception at Fort Mason, and they are on federal property so they have pretty tight rules about alcohol service. I knew I was going to provide all of the drinks and cups and glasses and I just needed someone to serve. I first checked with the fancy companies that were recommended by the venue and got discouraged by their really high rates.
The fact that I was actually able to reach him on the phone was the first thing that set him apart from the other services. He was really responsive to all of my calls and emails which was exactly what I needed during the stress of planning such a big event on my own. He actually flew up from San Diego (I think) to do this gig, and brought another bartender from SF with him. They got there ready to set everything up and even offered to help set up other stuff too. I didn’t have a caterer so that was extra nice. I had 20 tables of people in a large venue and he circulated, filling glasses and being friendly and charming. He even bussed empty plates! I told him he didn’t have to do that but he insisted. Our guests really liked him, and I think he had a pretty good time. Some thought it was funny and cute that he carded them, but that meant that he was doing his job. I would definitely recommend him for his great rates and overall niceness. He was super easy to work with — no issues whatsoever.
