“What?” – Everyone at some point.
Do you provide the alcohol?
The Captain’s Barrel is a “dry-hire” mobile bar service – meaning you bring the alcohol, and we bring the rest: bar setup (Trailer and/or Satellite Bar), bartending, mixers, garnishes, cups, napkins, ice, and all the finishing touches. Based on your guest count and selected package, we’ll send you a tailored shopping list so you know exactly what to buy.
Can you help us choose what to serve?
Yes! We’ll guide you on a drink menu that fits your style – signature cocktails, beer and wine, and even non-alcoholic options.
How far do you travel?
Travel within 15 miles of downtown San Diego is included. Beyond that, we charge a per-mile rate up to 50 miles (one-way). For anything farther, we can talk about custom arrangements.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we carry both general liability and liquor liability insurance so you (and your venue) can feel at ease.
Do you need power or water hookups?
Our trailer is equipped with built-in water source, but does require access to a power outlet. If a power outlet is not available, we can utilize a generator for an additional fee.
What if I need to cancel?
