hired for our work event and it was a blast! everyone loved our mixologist phil. will def be using their services again!

Phil was a treat to have bartending our birthday party of around 50 people. He’s got a wonderful relaxed demeanor with a strong command of the bar. I felt good with him. He worked to get the two specialty cocktail ingredient proportions just right and they were a hit with our guests—so much so that nobody seemed to want any beer or wine LOL. At the end we had a lot of alcohol left, which he packaged up nicely in the boxes we had so it was as smooth as possible for us to get it all back home from the venue, all with impeccable timing so we were out of the venue at the right time. Guests said he was very accommodating and thoughtful. When he had time on his hands he even helped maintain the overall cleanliness of the venue removing extra drink ware and trash sitting around. I highly recommend Phil and Bartender Chicago. He helped make our birthday party into the truly special thing it turned out to be. Thank you Phil, it means a lot.

Great setup with awesome recommendations! Staff was really friendly started a lot of great conversations, in addition with some good drinks.

My friends rented a bartender for the evening and Phil was our bartender; he did an excellent job and was a great conversationalist!

I hired Bartender Chicago for a game night in with friends that I was hosting and they did not disappoint. The process from start to finish was seamless. Our bartender, Phil, was knowledgeable, timely and personable. He helped me to figure out the best experience for my friends and was able to pivot on the spot. It was great having a private bartender to allow us to enjoy each other's company. If you are looking to rent a bartender for the evening in Chicago, I recommend Bartender Chicago!

Phil was a great private bartender! We hired Bartender Chicago for the evening and really enjoyed our time.

I hired Bartender Chicago for my 30th birthday party held in our building’s lounge. There were about 30 people in attendance. To secure the booking, I worked with Frank who was friendly and efficient. The process to secure my event was super simple and straightforward, which I appreciated because I was coordinating several other things for the party as well. The bartender who serviced my event was Phil and he was absolutely outstanding. My family and friends were so complimentary of him and he truly was one of the highlights of the evening. The drinks were fantastic, and Phil was kind enough to help my family with set-up and tear down of the party, throwing out trash, and checking coats. He made sure my cup with my signature drink was always full, and he made sure my guests always had what they needed. Several people asked me how they could hire him for their own event and my parents said Phil would be their go-to bartender for future events. If you’re looking for a bartender for your next private party or event, I would absolutely recommend you book with Bartender Chicago and ask for Phil. You won’t regret it!!

Phil was the man!! Bartended my engagement party and was everything I could ask for. Will be requesting him for the wedding as well!

Phil bartended my engagement party with 50+ people and did an amazing job! Couldn’t recommend anyone better. He was social, knowledgeable and made great cocktails.

Phil was amazing. Always made sure we had a drink in our hand and topped off our drinks! He made it work with the materials we had and had us taste test before the party to make sure it was to our liking. 10/10 bartender and I’m so happy we chose this company! Thank you Phil!!

Great experience! Hosted a party at my home and googled Chicago bartenders. Frank reached out to me via email within 24 hours of putting in my inquiry, then called me to get details on what we needed. The contract was sent and signed the same day. He also let me know about his catering services and sent a pricing menu with photo examples for a charcuterie board. While we passed on the catering, the bartenders were great. One of them called me before arrival to introduce himself and confirm. He also asked about cocktails and verified that we had everything we needed. Both bartenders arrived on time and helped with setting things up. One also went above and beyond by taking guests's coats and helping with trash. Our event moved from one floor to another, and they helped moved everything up two floors. I also appreciated that they walked around and asked people who didn't have a drink what they would like and brought it straight to them rather than just waiting for people to go to the bar area. 10/10 professional and friendly service with fair pricing. We tipped in cash and I will absolutely use their services again! Highly recommend.

Amazing service, tended to all my guests, remembered everyone's drinks, and bonus: cleaned my kitchen!

Bartender Chicago helped me find a barman a little last minute for my husband's 40th. The bartender was professional and warm. He reached out beforehand to coordinate quantities, mixers, etc. so I felt comfortable it would go smoothly.

We booked Bartender Chicago for our annual holiday party in our home. We were assigned Phil as our bartender and I just wanted to share my thoughts. He started out earlier in the week, reaching out introducing himself, and then I shared a little bit about my guest's and what kind of drinkers they were. Right away he was generous enough to provide a few recommendations of things to make sure that we had on hand. The night of the event he arrived about 30 minutes early immediately went downstairs and set up the area he was going to be working in, He then came upstairs and asked if he could help with any of the other set up. As guests started to arrive, without missing a beat, he offered to take their jackets and offered them a drink you. Throughout the evening, he didn’t just stand behind the bar. He roamed all over the house, remembering people’s drink orders and was refilled them without then even having to ask. He even suggested different drinks that they could try. He was a true pleasure to work with and our guests were very impressed with his hospitality and how personable he was.

Frank was great to work with. Communication was smooth and responsive. Frank worked with me on a menu for my wife's 50th birthday that would reflect her love of Mediterranean cuisine. I had no idea what I was doing but he really guided me through what was needed for 50 guest party at my home. Chef Brandon and his team were awesome on the night with many guests complimenting the taste and presentation of the food. Luis ran the bar, serving up a wonderful Old Fashion as well as many other drinks. Everyone was such a delight to work with that I would not hesitate to you use them again in the future!

Deana did an amazing job bartending for a recent birthday party! She reached out ahead of time, was punctual, and even helped set up non-bar items because I was running behind! Frank was also great in helping coordinate the booking and answering questions around what we would need for the day of. Will definitely work with Bartender Chicago again for future events!

I was planning my husbands surprise 50th bday party a little last minute. I had heard about this company through a a friend who highly recommends Phil. The communication from Frank was prompt. I appreciated how accommodating they were a mere weeks before the party. Phil… was amazing! He is a professional, so kind, drinks were perfect and really went above and beyond. All of our guests were commenting on how great he was.. It was such a special touch to our party and I didn’t want my husband doing anything but enjoy his special birthday. Thank you!! Will definitely use you again for and special event.

Phil was an exceptional bartender! We had 3 signature drinks that were a huge hit at our party. I would recommend this to anyone who wants that extra touch for their event.

The three employees who staffed our event were polite and engaged. The food was excellent, and the drinks were fantastic. They adapted well to our makeshift bar. We will definitely use them for future events!

Phil was fantastic - extremely knowledgeable bartender and helped our private party go off without a hitch.

I needed a bartender to serve drinks at a work event and Frank and Phil did not disappoint. Excellent communication and quick response times from both of them. They made planning the event much easier and gave me one less thing to worry about. Would definitely recommend them both and will be using them for any future events I need to plan!

Incredible experience. Hosted a dinner for 10. Frank and Jesse were great. Food was awesome

This was the best mixology class ever!! Frank was super helpful and accommodating to plan the event. Our bartender, Phil, was AMAZING and so professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely be hosting with them again!

Phil was fabulous!! We had such a fun time! We will definitely be doing this again and highly recommend!

This company is a MUST. Frank responded to me promptly, was able to accomodate my event with custom cocktails and charcuterie too! Carson worked our event and everyone loved him. Great fun, service and cocktails. I highly recommend you work with this team for all your Chicago events!!!

Carson and Team did a great job, they were super responsive when getting the event arranged and communicative throughout. Highly recommend!

I hired Carson this past weekend for an important birthday celebration and he was an amazing bartender ! He was prompt, professional, courteous and made excellent cocktails. I’ll definitely use him again.

Had these guys bartend a private party for my brothers birthday and they were super cool! Made some of the best drinks and were a great touch to the party. Will use again in the future.

My best friend's 30th was a blast, thanks in huge part to Bartender Chicago. Right from the start, they just got our vibe. Their cocktail suggestions were spot-on – a fun mix of modern twists and classic faves (Summer Paloma was our fave!) Their bartenders blended seamlessly into the party, and man, could they whip up a drink!

Frank & Carson were very reliable and responsive throughout. I would work with them again for future events!

Frank and his team are excellent! From our first phone call Frank made sure to go over every detail and ensure that our event went smoothly. Carson and Luis did a fantastic job behind the bar. I am very much looking forward to working with them again in the future.

These guys were awesome!!! One thing I run into a lot when looking for any type of service is unresponsiveness and Frank literally responded to my email within 10 minutes of filling out the contact sheet! We needed to hire a bartender for our company party - the bartender (Carson) showed up early, thanks Carson for making our corporate team-building event such a success! Highly recommend!

Great service, very friendly, and easy to work with! Carson was a wonderful bartender and brought a great energy to the party.

I recently hired a fantastic bartending service for my husband's 40th birthday party. The bartender was professional, efficient, and added a fun touch to the celebration. The drinks were top-notch, with the bartender even customizing them for guests. I highly recommend this bartending service for any event, big or small. They made my husband's birthday extra special and I'm grateful for their excellent service. Cheers!
