Three pieces, designed around your theme

One real Salt Rim bar labelled with the three pieces made for the event: the custom printed drink menu framed on the bar top, the custom banner framed on the front of the bar, and a finished drink in a cup carrying the event's own branded sticker.

From one real client’s “Salt Lime & Tequila” night. After you book, all three are designed with you on your design call.

Setup: we arrive 45–60 min early to set up — your service hours start when doors open, not when we arrive.

Pricing: $1,000 covers up to 50 guests, then +$10 per guest (guest counts step in 5s). From 70 guests a second bartender is included in the price — never an add-on.

Deposit: a flat $250 deposit saves your date — the balance is due the day of your event.

Insurance: general + liquor liability insured · bartenders RBS/TIPS certified · Certificate of Insurance provided for your venue on request.

A real client’s bar.

The bar, the banner on the front, the printed menu and the stickered cup below all came from one client’s “Salt Lime & Tequila” night — nothing staged, nothing stock. The same pieces are designed with you on your design call.

Once your date is confirmed, it’s locked: if our bartender ever can’t make it, a fully-equipped replacement of the same caliber comes instead — or your deposit is refunded in full. Need to move the date? Reschedule once, free, up to 7 days before your event.

Edgar Aguayo, founder of The Salt Rim

“I’ve spent a decade in my family’s restaurant here in OC — the last five running it. 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.”

Not sure how much to buy?

Since you bring the bottles, we built you a free calculator: enter your guest count, hours and event type and get an exact shopping list of beer, wine & spirits — so nothing goes to waste. Then we handle the rest.

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.
Absolutely — your drink menu works with or without alcohol, and the price is the same either way. We don't just pull the spirit out of a cocktail and hand you what's left. We build the menu around fresh juices, teas, refreshers and lemonades with our house syrups, shaken and served exactly like everything else on the bar — no sad lemonade here. Mix it however you like: a full bar, a few drinks without alcohol for kids and non-drinkers, or an entire event without a drop. See how an event without alcohol comes together →
