What local hosts say

I just graduated from midwest bartending school last Friday and I was so pleased with the program. My instructors Katie and Eric were both so helpful and informative throughout every lesson and made sure that we had ample time behind the bar to practice hands on skills.

We had an incredible experience working with Tall Boy! From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. They nailed the estimate on all of our beer and liquor. No surprises or hidden costs. The service on the day of the event was flawless.

I first met Michelle and Poured to Perfections at a wedding expo in Indy and instantly fell in love. I told my fiance that we HAD to have them for our wedding. They were perfect considering our venue doesn't allow hard liquor and their drinks are wine based.
