Working in Biscayne Park
How a Biscayne Park booking actually runs
The run from our Hialeah yard out to Biscayne Park is about 10 miles, an easy morning either side of the event. That distance changes nothing about what we bring or what it costs, and it leaves room in the day for a setup that is not rushed.
Biscayne Park runs almost straight into North Miami, Miami Shores and El Portal, the nearest of them under a mile out. In a pocket this tight the useful question is never which town the venue is in but which gate we come through — and that is the one we will ask you.
As an incorporated city, Biscayne Park keeps its own book on events — permits, curfews, park bookings and the rest. Ask your venue what applies before you lock a start time. We will build the bar around whatever schedule that leaves you, and we would far rather know the constraint than discover it.
We arrive around 1 hour ahead of your start time, and we treat that as the earliest we ought to be there rather than the latest. Rooms are rarely ready exactly when the schedule says they will be, and a bar that is already built absorbs that far better than one still in boxes.
The wizard below prices a Biscayne Park date the same way it prices any other: $85/hour against a 3-hour minimum, plus whatever you choose to have us bring. None of it depends on getting you on the phone first.
December is the month we price the most bartending dates in — 13% of them. If your Biscayne Park date falls inside it, book earlier than feels necessary.
Can you cover a Biscayne Park event at short notice?
Often, yes. Biscayne Park is about 10 miles from where we load, so the limit is crew availability rather than logistics, and weekend dates are the ones that go first.
A 25% deposit holds the date. It stays fully refundable until 7 days out and the balance is not due until 48 hours before the event.
Do you need anything from my Biscayne Park venue?
Two things, ideally before the day rather than on it: where the truck can stop, and which door the bar comes through. A long carry is fine when we know about it and a scramble when we do not.
We will also ask what surface the bar is going on and whether there is cover, because both change how we build it.
Can you build a custom cocktail menu for a Biscayne Park event?
That is the normal way we do it. Tell us what the room drinks and we design the list around it — classics, frozen drinks, mocktails, and a signature or two if you want them.
The mixers, juices, garnish and ice to run that menu come on the truck, portioned to your guest count.
What is included in a Biscayne Park booking?
Licensed, insured bartenders, the bar itself, and the mixers, juices, garnish, ice, coolers and serveware to run the menu you choose. Setup and breakdown are part of it rather than extras, and the crew is on site about 1 hour before service.
The drinks list is built with you rather than handed to you — classics, frozen drinks and mocktails as the room needs.
