Mobile Bar Ideas For Christmas And Holiday Parties

Visual Inspiration For Setting Up Holiday and Christmas Bars

Whether you are hosting a festive Christmas party in your home, or planning a corporate holiday happy hour, Chesapeake Bartenders offers a variety of mobile bars to make your party festive and bright! From custom built wooden bars to classic bars styled in holiday hues, we offer bar and beverage station set ups that will match your preferred theme and aesthetic, while being fully functional. At CBE we strive to strike the important balance between a beautiful and Insta-ready bar and an efficient, professional set up that ensures lines don’t get long and guests can receive a cup of holiday cheer without delay. Below are some questions we often receive about holiday bar rentals.

How Many Guests Can Your Classic 6′ Bar Serve?

Our classic bars, which consist of two x 6′ tables dressed in linen (usually ivory, merlot, hunter green, or black), serves up to 60 guests comfortably. Once your guest count surpasses 60 guests, our team requires more surface area and storage space for additional supplies, ice, coolers, mixers and alcohol, so we would double the size of the bar (12′ front service bar and 12′ back bar). You also have the option to upgrade to one of our wooden bars for an additional fee.

What Color Schemes Do You Offer For Your Classic Bars?

While many of our clients opt for the following colors during the Christmas and holiday season, we can always match your custom palette and design preferences. Here are the most popular color/design combinations:

• Ivory linens with greenery and garland (with gold accents)
• Merlot linens with greenery and garland (with gold or silver accents)
• Hunter Green linens with golden garland (with red accents)
• Black linens with gold or silver garland (and gold or silver accents with pops of red and green)

How Much Space Do We Need To Set Up a Classic Bar?

We need about 12′ x 12′ of space for a classic bar set up. This allows enough space for the front serving bar table, the back serving bar table, room for the bartender to work behind the front service bar, and plenty of table surface area to hold mixers, supplies and decor (with coolers tucked under the tables to hold ice and chilled beverages).
