Tamiami gatherings
The bar we build for a Tamiami gathering
A gathering in Tamiami means about 14 miles across the county for us. We plan the arrival backwards from your start time rather than forwards from ours, which is the entire reason your schedule survives contact with traffic.
Tamiami has University Park and Sweetwater close at hand, the nearest about 2 miles out. Guests coming from that direction arrive together, so we build the gathering bar to absorb a front-loaded rush rather than a steady stream.
There is no Tamiami city hall to call — it is an unincorporated area of Miami-Dade. For a gathering that usually simplifies things: one county rulebook, plus whatever your community says about vehicles and hours.
For a gathering in Tamiami we build the menu around your guests — classics, frozen drinks, mocktails, whatever the room will actually drink — then bring the mixers, juices, garnish, ice, coolers and serveware that make it work.
You hold a Tamiami date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the gathering, and the deposit stays fully refundable until 7 days out — the same terms here as everywhere else we work.
If you are comparing options for a gathering in Tamiami, price this one first. It takes about as long as reading this paragraph and it hands you a real number to compare against instead of a range.
How far will you travel for a Tamiami gathering?
Tamiami is about 14 miles from where we load, and we cover the whole of Miami-Dade. The distance shapes our morning, not your rate — bartending is $85/hour with a 3-hour minimum.
University Park, Sweetwater and Kendale Lakes are on the same run, so a venue just over the line is no different to book.
Can the bar go outdoors for a Tamiami gathering?
Usually, and most of ours do. Let us know the surface and whether there is shade — a bar on grass and a bar on a patio are built differently.
Ice and coolers are portioned to your guest count either way, so the drinks stay cold from setup through to last call.
Do you clean up after a Tamiami gathering?
Breakdown is part of the booking — the bar comes down, everything returns to the truck, and the space is left as we found it.
That holds at about 14 miles out as firmly as it does next door to the yard.
What if my Tamiami guests want something not on the menu?
Within reason the bar can handle it — the mixers, juices and garnish we bring cover a good deal more than the printed list.
If there is a drink that really matters to you, tell us early and we will make sure the ingredients are on the truck.
How long does breakdown take after a gathering?
Less time than setup. The bar comes down, everything goes back on the truck, and the space is left as we found it.
If your venue has a hard curfew, tell us and we will work backwards from it rather than from last call.
How do I book a gathering in Tamiami?
Price it here, then hold the date with a 25% deposit. The balance falls due 48 hours before the gathering.
The deposit is fully refundable until 7 days out, and the date can be moved free of charge up to 48 hours before.
