Signature Cocktails
Two or three custom drinks designed with you, batched ahead and finished at the bar. Built to serve at scale without losing nuance — citrus-forward palomas, barrel-aged Negronis, smoke and spice variations.
Bartending Service · Austin & Hill Country
Onsite Bartending.
Expert bartenders and a custom cocktail program for venues that already have a bar. Restaurants, hotels, country clubs, private homes, galleries — wherever the bar is yours, we bring the drinks.
No. 03 · Talent-Forward Format
Your venue. Our talent.
Onsite Bartending is the format for venues that already have a bar — restaurants, hotels, country clubs, private homes, galleries with built-in service stations. We bring the bartenders, the cocktail program, and the standard. The bar itself is yours.
We design the menu with you, working from your event's flavor profile, color palette, and the way the night will flow. Multiple rounds of refinement before the event arrives — by service night, the program lives in the same world as the rest of your day. Our bartenders — TABC-certified, trained to our standard — execute it from setup through close-out.
We've run onsite programs at Hill Country wedding venues with their own built-in bars, downtown Austin restaurants for private receptions, gallery openings with service stations, and country club celebrations. It's the format that focuses everything on what guests actually remember at the end of the night: the drinks.

Anatomy of the service.
What you get when you book Onsite — the design, the team, the prep, and the standard that ties them together.
-
01
Custom cocktail program
We design the menu with you — working from your event's flavor profile, color palette, and the way the night will flow. Multiple rounds of refinement before the event arrives. By service night, the menu is dialed in.
-
02
TABC-certified bartenders
Every bartender on our team is TABC-certified and trained to our standard. We assign the right team for your event — single-bartender intimate dinners or multi-bartender venue events — and they arrive ready to execute the program.
-
03
The mise-en-place
We bring the tools, prep, and details — shakers, jiggers, strainers, batched ingredients, fresh-pressed juices, garnishes, ice if your venue can't supply it. The venue brings the bar; we bring everything that makes a bar work.
-
04
Setup, service, and close-out
We arrive ahead of the event for prep and bar setup. We pour through the night. We break down and clean up. The bar leaves the way we found it — or better.
-
05
The standard travels with the team
The cocktail program, the bar tools, the way drinks come together — all of it shaped to a consistent standard, and trained into every bartender on the team. The same craft and finish you'd find at the Piaggio or Satellite — applied here, at your venue's bar.
The Drink Program
The drink design. And the team behind it.
Onsite is the format that focuses everything on the menu. We design each cocktail with you — multiple rounds, flavor profiles tested, batching dialed in for service speed. By the night of the event, the program is yours.
Wine, Beer & Spirits
Full bar service beyond the signatures. Texas wineries and breweries when they fit. Full pour-over spirit service for whoever wants something neat — bourbon, mezcal, anything you'd put on a backbar.
Mocktails & Zero-Proof
The non-alcoholic side gets the same design attention as the rest of the menu. Real shrubs, fresh-pressed juice, custom syrups, garnish work — not just a Coke and a sad cranberry-soda for your non-drinkers.
Themed & Concept Bars
Drinks matched to your event's color palette. Welcome cocktails for arrival. Mimosa bars for brunches, paloma stations for summer events, themed cocktails for product activations. The menu adjusts to the night.
For venues with their own bar.

Country Clubs & Boutique Venues
Member events, weddings, corporate celebrations at venues that already have a beautiful bar — but want a more elevated cocktail program for the night.

Practical Notes
What you'll need on the day.
-
— Venue setup
A built-in bar or service station
Restaurants, hotels, country clubs, gallery service stations, private home bars, kitchen islands with counter space. The venue needs a surface to pour from and access to running water for cleanup. We confirm the setup during planning.
-
— Bartender count
Designed to your venue and event
How many bartenders we send depends on your venue, your floor plan, and the way the night flows. One bartender works for many events; multi-bartender teams make sense for venues with multiple service stations or longer service windows. We design the team during planning.
-
— Pre-event design
We walk the menu through with you
Multiple rounds of refinement in the weeks before the event — flavor profiles, color match, batching for service speed. By the night of the event, the program is dialed in. All included in the booking.
-
— Alcohol
You purchase, we plan and pour
Per Texas law, the host buys the alcohol. We tell you exactly what to order — by drink, by quantity — based on the program we design together. Use our free alcohol calculator for a starting list.
In Their Words
Three months later and our friends are still asking us where we found the bartenders.— Maya & Daniel Wedding · Austin
Austin home. Texas range.
We're an Austin-based mobile bar serving the city and the broader Hill Country first. The Piaggio also travels across the Texas Triangle — we've poured at events in Dallas, Livingston, and venues in between. Tell us where you're getting married or hosting, and we'll tell you what's possible.

Common questions
Asked & answered.
The questions clients ask most about Onsite Bartending. If yours isn't here, send a note — Veronica or Augusto reads every inquiry.
Ask your questionHow does the cocktail program design work?
We walk through the menu with you in the weeks before the event. We refine through multiple rounds — flavor profiles, color palette match, batching for service speed. By the night of the event, the program is yours, dialed in, and ready to pour.
What does the venue need to provide?
A built-in bar, kitchen island, or service station with counter space, ice access (or we bring), and running water for cleanup. Most restaurants, hotels, country clubs, gallery service stations, and private home bars qualify. We confirm the setup during planning.
How is this different from the Piaggio or Satellite?
The Piaggio Tap Bar and Satellite Bar Stations both bring a bar to your event. Onsite is the format for venues that already have one. Same standard of service, same custom cocktail design — without a bar to bring in. Best for events at restaurants, hotels, private homes, country clubs, and other venues with their own bar setup.
Do you provide the alcohol?
No — per Texas law, the host purchases all alcohol. We help you figure out exactly what to order and how much, and pour it on the night. Try our free Alcohol Calculator for a starting list.
How far in advance should I book?
Most weddings book six to twelve months out — Saturdays in spring and fall in the Hill Country fill first. Corporate events and short-notice bookings often work too — reach out and we'll tell you what's open.
What does Onsite Bartending cost?
Pricing scales with the bartender count, event length, location, and cocktail program. We build a tailored proposal after a brief conversation about your event — there's no fixed package price because no two events are the same. Send an inquiry and we'll get you a number within 48 hours.
If onsite isn't quite right.
Three formats, one standard. Onsite is for venues that already have a bar — but if yours doesn't, the Piaggio brings a vintage centerpiece and Satellite brings beautiful mobile stations.
— No. 01
The Piaggio Tap Bar
A vintage Italian three-wheeler with a wood bar top and six working taps. Self-contained, photographable, and the bar that becomes the centerpiece of cocktail hour.
See the Piaggio— No. 02
Satellite Bar Stations
Mobile bar stations for venues that don't have a built-in bar — or events that want a prettier one. Designed to fit indoor or outdoor spaces and to match the aesthetic of the day.
