Built Around
One Standard: Excellence.
Encore Bartending Service was founded on the belief that every event — regardless of size or budget — deserves a professional behind the bar. That belief has shaped everything we've built since 2012.
Started Small. Built for Scale.
What began as a local service in one market has grown into one of the most recognized bartending service providers in the country. We've expanded to 350+ locations while keeping the same commitment to precision that defined our earliest events.
Whether we're serving a gathering of 10 or a gala for 10,000, the standard is identical: arrive prepared, serve flawlessly, and leave the space better than we found it.

Accountability You Can Check.
We're one of the only bartending services in the country that carries a comprehensive Liability, Damage, and Liquor insurance policy. Every booking includes full coverage — because your peace of mind is part of the service.
- Comprehensive liquor liability insurance on every booking
- Certificate of insurance available for venues that require it
- TIPS certification across all bartending staff
- ServSafe certification and ABC compliance
- 100% money-back guarantee if cancelled 14+ days out
- What-if backup coverage for last-minute emergencies
Trained at the Source.
Unlike staffing agencies that recruit from job boards, our bartenders are sourced through and trained by a certified bartending school — the same one that's been producing the industry's top professionals since 2012. The result is a higher floor across every booking.
Instructors Behind the Bar
Many of our bartenders are professional bartending educators — people who teach others for a living. They work our events because they love it.
Regulars, Not Agency Staff
Our bartenders work with us consistently. They know our standards, our processes, and how to represent the Encore brand.
Dressed for the Occasion
Standard: clean, professional black attire. Custom: tell us what you want and they'll dress to match.
Present and Accountable
We don't ghost. We don't show up late. And if something ever goes wrong — which is rare — we fix it immediately.
