Plan your event
- Serves the Chicago, IL area — confirm your venue is inside their travel range when you inquire
- Dry hire you buy the alcohol, they bring the bar, the bartenders, and the service — the legal norm for mobile bartending in most states; they can usually send a shopping list sized to your guest count

Booking basics
Mobile bartenders book by the date, not the walk-in — popular Saturdays (especially May–October) go months out, so inquire early with your date, venue, guest count, and whether you want a full package or dry hire. Most will hold a date with a deposit and a signed agreement.

From the reviews
We hired City Sips for a happy hour event for our commercial real estate office tenants, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. From the initial planning stages through event execution, Raina and her team were incredibly professional while also being approachable, personable, and easy to work with.
I booked this service for our Anniversary party at my gym, and wow—Raina absolutely delivered! From the moment she set up, the bar wasn’t just nice—it completely transformed the atmosphere with a fun, classy, and elevated vibe that our guests couldn’t stop talking about.
We hosted an event that City Sips bartended and it was BEYOND our expectations -- amazing, friendly service; delicious, custom cocktails; a gorgeous friendly aesthetic and wonderful team. Thank you so much! Would certainly work together again :)

Booking City Sips - Chicago Mobile Bar for a wedding
Weddings come up for City Sips - Chicago Mobile Bar — confirmed on their own site, so they'll know the rhythm of the day: cocktail hour hits all at once, then the bar settles into a steady hum until the last dance. Two numbers get your quote right. First, the staffing math: the standard rule is one bartender per 50–75 guests — so a 150-guest wedding usually means two to three bartenders, and going thin here is the classic cocktail-hour line mistake. Second, drinks per guest: plan on roughly two drinks in the first hour and one per hour after; a dry-hire bartender can turn that into an exact shopping list for your headcount so nothing runs out and nothing goes back to the store.

Corporate events with City Sips - Chicago Mobile Bar
Reviews and the service's own materials mention corporate events at City Sips - Chicago Mobile Bar — holiday parties, launches, client mixers. For office events, three things are worth settling on the first call: whether they carry the liquor liability insurance your building or venue requires, whether they can run a mocktail or zero-proof menu alongside the bar, and how invoicing works if your company needs a W-9 and net-30 terms.
