Mobile Bar, in The Hammocks
The bar we build for a The Hammocks gathering
The Hammocks is a real drive from us, about 21 miles southwest. For a gathering that matters in exactly one way: we settle your access, parking and load-in before the truck leaves, because sorting it out on arrival costs a distance we have already spent.
Kendall West sits about 3 miles from The Hammocks, with Kendale Lakes and Richmond West following. Worth knowing while you are choosing a venue for a gathering, because a room just over the line is priced exactly like a room in town.
There is no The Hammocks 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.
Booking a mobile bar in The Hammocks starts from your timeline rather than ours — when doors open, when the food lands, when the bar goes quiet for speeches, and where last call should sit. The staffing and the menu are built around that.
Pricing a gathering in The Hammocks starts at $85/hour against a 3-hour minimum, and the wizard below gives you your own number before you talk to anyone. Distance across the county does not move the rate.
You can have a price for your The Hammocks gathering before you finish your coffee, and a held date shortly after. Everything above is what happens between those two moments.
How far will you travel for a The Hammocks gathering?
The Hammocks is about 21 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.
Kendall West, Kendale Lakes and Richmond West are on the same run, so a venue just over the line is no different to book.
What do you need from a The Hammocks venue?
Where the truck can stop, and which door the bar comes through. For a gathering that is usually the whole of it, and knowing it in advance is the difference between a calm setup and a scramble.
We will also ask what surface the bar sits on and whether there is cover, since both change the build.
Are your bartenders licensed and insured?
Yes, on every booking. If your The Hammocks venue wants a certificate, ask and we will send it across.
The crew is on site about 1 hour before service and dresses to whatever code the gathering calls for.
What if my The Hammocks 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.
Can the bar stay open longer on the night?
Often, if the crew's schedule allows it. Extra time is added at the same hourly rate rather than at a penalty rate.
It is worth deciding in advance where you want last call, because the hour people regret is almost always the last one.
What is included in a The Hammocks gathering booking?
The staff, the bar, and the mixers, juices, garnish, ice, coolers and serveware behind it. Setup and breakdown are part of the booking rather than line items.
The drinks list is built with you — classics, frozen drinks and mocktails as the room needs — and the team is on site about 1 hour before service.
