Working in Kendall
What hiring a bar in Kendall looks like
Reaching Kendall means about 18 miles south across the county from our Hialeah base. It is a distance worth naming, because it is the reason we settle your access details — gate, lift, parking, which door — before the truck leaves rather than after it arrives.
Pinecrest starts about a mile from Kendall, with Glenvar Heights and South Miami not much further out. This is one of the tightly packed corners of the county, and it shows up in the practical details — narrow streets, shared parking, a load-in that has to be pointed at the right door.
There is no city hall in Kendall. It is an unincorporated part of Miami-Dade, so county rules apply and any tighter restriction comes from your community or your venue rather than a local ordinance. We ask about both before we schedule the truck.
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.
Dates in Kendall are held with a 25% deposit and can be moved free of charge up to 48 hours before the event. Weekend dates go first, which is the only honest reason to book early rather than a sales one.
December is the month we price the most bartending dates in — 13% of them. If your Kendall date falls inside it, book earlier than feels necessary.
Can you cover a Kendall event at short notice?
Often, yes. Kendall is about 18 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 Kendall 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.
Do you clean up afterwards in Kendall?
Breakdown is part of the booking. The bar comes down, everything goes back on the truck, and the space is left as we found it.
That holds whether the event is about 18 miles out in Kendall or next door to the Hialeah yard — it is not the thing that gets trimmed at the end of a long day.
How much is a bartender in Kendall?
It starts at $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum — about $255 at the floor — and moves with the hours, the guest count and what you have us bring.
