Edgar Aguayo, founder of The Salt Rim
The person behind it

“I grew up in my family’s restaurant here in OC, and the nights I loved most were always the events — that moment a room lights up and a celebration actually feels like one. I built The Salt Rim to chase that feeling. My name is on this bar, so every detail has to be right.”

Everything You Need to Know

We're here to make it easy. Here are answers to the questions we get most.

Alcohol & BYOB

A mobile bar is a professional bar that comes to your event. We bring the bar, the bartenders, the tools, cups, mixers, garnishes and ice — you just buy the bottles. It’s more personal, more flexible, and often more affordable than a traditional open bar.
Yes — you buy the bottles and we handle everything else. Don’t worry, that’s the easy part: we give you a simple shopping list with exact quantities and where to buy, so you know exactly what to get and nothing goes to waste.
For most private events at a private residence — birthdays, housewarmings, backyard parties — no permit is required when alcohol is provided by the host and served to guests free of charge (no sales). Because you supply the alcohol and we don't sell it, no liquor license is needed. Some public venues, parks, or events where alcohol is sold may require a permit or a one-day license — if that applies to you, we'll flag it and point you in the right direction. When in doubt, check with your venue.
Absolutely. A beer-and-wine-only service is a great fit for casual or budget-friendly events — our bartender pours, manages the ice and cups, and keeps the bar tidy all night. You can also pair a couple of signature cocktails with beer & wine for the best of both. Either way, your shopping list adjusts to exactly what you're serving.
It's yours — you bought it, you keep it. Since you supply the alcohol, any unopened bottles and leftovers stay with you at the end of the night. Our shopping list is sized to minimize waste, but most hosts end up with a bottle or two to enjoy later. We never take alcohol with us.
Yes, and we love doing them. Mocktail menus are available as add-ons or as a full replacement — perfect for sober events, family celebrations with kids, or guests who simply prefer a zero-proof option. Our mocktails are crafted with the same care and intention as the full cocktail menu — no sad lemonade here.
