Where we serve

Southlake and Dallas

Shaker is a mobile bar service: there is no storefront to visit, because the bar comes to your venue. That is worth saying plainly, because it shapes what "two locations" means here.

There are two Google Business Profiles. Southlake is home base; it is where the team works out of and where all 14 reviews sit. Dallas is a service-area listing covering the Dallas side of the metro: no premises, no address to turn up to, just coverage. Between them, nobody has to drive the full width of the Metroplex to reach your event.

What a DFW event bar usually looks like

Most weddings we run here are 120 to 250 guests at a dedicated venue, which shapes the bar two ways. Check your venue's rule first: BYOB required, licensed service required, or an exclusive vendor. And that guest range means two to four bartenders, the difference between a bar that flows and one that queues after the ceremony.

Spring and fall Saturdays are the first dates to go across the metro. If your date is in April, May, October or November, book bar service earlier than feels necessary. Corporate work runs on a different calendar entirely; November and December fill first.

The Southlake question

We are a Southlake company, worth mentioning because a competitor is currently running a landing page specifically targeting mobile bartending in Southlake. If you are planning an event here, you are being marketed to by companies from across the metro. A reasonable question for any of them, including us: how far are they actually traveling, and is setup time being billed for the drive?
