The Uphill Taps Satellite Bar Station set up at a Hill Country overlook above Lake Travis — a slatted wood-front bar with white marble top, twin gold-framed back wall with glass shelves and crystal glassware, pink rose and blue delphinium florals at the base, the Signature Cocktails menu card and UPHILL TAPS card on the bar top, and three signature cocktails plated on the bar.

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.

No. 02 · Designed for the Venue

A bar that fits the room.

Satellite Bar Stations are standalone, mobile bars that we bring to your event. They're built for venues that don't have a built-in bar of their own — or that have one that doesn't quite live up to the rest of the day. Each station is a designed object: solid wood bar top, brass details, a fully equipped bartender workspace behind. They're built to elevate the space, not just service it.

Each station breaks down for transport, fits through standard doors, and assembles cleanly on site — so any venue with a delivery path can host them, indoor or outdoor. Stations can stand alone or work together in multiple configurations, depending on your floor plan.

We've set up Satellite stations at Hill Country wedding venues, on downtown Austin rooftops, inside galleries and ballrooms, and at outdoor estates across the Texas Triangle. It's the format that makes sense when the venue has the room — but doesn't have the right bar.

Anatomy of a station.

Each station is built to do two things — work hard from behind the bar, and look like it was made for the room from in front of it.

    Multiple designs available

    Our Satellite stations come in different finishes and color palettes — not a single look, multiple options. We pair the right design to your event's aesthetic, so the bar feels selected for your day, not generic.

  • 02

    Solid wood bar top

    Same natural wood and brass detailing as the Piaggio — a deliberate visual through-line across our formats. The pour surface is durable enough to take a full night of service and warms with use.

  • 03

    Built-in service workspace

    Behind the visible bar top, each station has integrated ice, back-bar storage, and a speed station for the bartender. What you see is the showpiece. What you don't see is the engineering that lets one bartender pour with the speed of three.

  • 04

    Modular configuration

    One station for an intimate event. Three stations distributed across a multi-room reception. Six stations lined up for a 600-guest gala. The format scales with the room — same standard of service at every count.

  • 05

    Indoor or outdoor

    Stations break down for transport and assemble on site. They fit through standard doors and freight elevators, work on hardwood, carpet, tile, or grass, and don't need an open-air venue to feel right.

The Drink Program

Custom menus. Built around the night.

Without the constraint of a fixed tap count, the Satellite menu is fully flexible. Augusto leads the cocktail design and Veronica makes sure every drink lives in the same world as the rest of your event.

· No. 01 ·

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.

· No. 02 ·

Wine, Beer & Spirits

A curated selection of bottled and canned options. 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.

· No. 03 ·

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.

· No. 04 ·

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.

Built for events that scale and spread out.

When one bar
isn't enough

— No. 01

Weddings

Hill Country venues, ranches, lakeside estates, indoor halls. When the venue doesn't have a bar of its own — or has one that doesn't match the rest of the day — Satellite stations fit in seamlessly.

— No. 02

Indoor Receptions

Ballrooms, lofts, galleries, museums, hotel halls. Stations break down for transport and assemble on site, so any indoor venue with a delivery path can host the bar.

— No. 03

Corporate & Galas

Holiday parties, fundraisers, product launches, conferences. The right bar for the room, designed to fit your event's palette and elevate the space.

— No. 04

Multi-Room Events

Ceremony in one space, cocktails in another, dinner in a third. Distribute stations across the venue — no one waits in line, no one wanders looking for a drink.

Practical Notes

What you'll need on the day.

  • — Space

    About 4' × 6' per station

    Each station footprint is roughly 4 feet by 6 feet, plus 4 feet of standing room in front for guest service. Stations can be lined up side-by-side or distributed across the venue. Indoor or outdoor — hardwood, carpet, tile, grass, concrete, all fine.

  • — Configuration

    Designed to your venue

    How many stations and where they sit depends on your venue, your floor plan, and how the night flows. One station works for many events; multiple stations make sense for larger venues or layouts that spread out. We design the setup with you during planning.

  • — Access

    Standard delivery path

    Stations break down into pieces that fit through standard doors and freight elevators. Indoor venues need a ground-level loading area or service elevator access — no special equipment required from the venue.

  • — Bartenders

    One per station as standard

    Each station gets one TABC-certified bartender as standard. For high-volume cocktail hours or peak service moments, we can add a second bartender per station to keep wait times short.

  • — Alcohol

    You purchase, we plan and serve

    Per Texas law, the host buys the alcohol. We tell you exactly what to order — by station, by drink — and pour it all night. Use our free alcohol calculator for a head start.

Ask your question
How is the setup designed?
How many stations and where they sit depends on your venue, your floor plan, and how the night flows. One station works for many events; multiple stations make sense for larger venues or layouts that spread out. We design the right setup with you during planning.
Can the stations be set up indoors?
Yes — and indoor venues are where Satellite stations shine. Each station breaks down for transport and assembles on site, fits through standard doors and freight elevators, and works on hardwood, carpet, tile, or grass. Ballrooms, lofts, galleries, museums, and warehouses are all good candidates.
What gets served from the stations?
Custom signature cocktails, wine, beer, spirits, and a full mocktail and zero-proof program. Without taps to constrain the menu, the lineup is fully flexible — welcome cocktails for arrival, mimosa bars for brunches, paloma stations for summer events, brand-matched drinks for activations.
How is this different from the Piaggio Tap Bar?
The Piaggio is a single distinctive vehicle that becomes the centerpiece of one room. Satellite Stations are standalone bars built for venues that don't have a built-in bar — or that want a more elevated bar setup. Different aesthetic, different use case — same standard of service, same custom cocktail program.
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, source what's available at wholesale, and pour it. Try our free Alcohol Calculator for a starting list.
What does it cost to book Satellite Stations?
Pricing scales with the configuration, 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.
