Bartender only
For events where the bar is already set up. You handle the space and equipment, we bring TABC-licensed, insured bartenders. Per person fee is added if you would like us to bring ice, mixers, cups, napkins, straws, etc.
Weddings & Private Parties
For weddings and private parties, we build the menu with you: signature drinks named for the couple, the classics done right, a beer and wine list that fits the food. Howdy can show up early for photos. The goal is a bar your guests still talk about on Monday.
Corporate Events
For corporate events, we handle office happy hours, product launches, client dinners, and holiday parties. We can build signature cocktails around your brand or product, or run a straight-ahead bar when that's what you need.
Menu Creation
When you're throwing an unstaffed mixer or your intern is pouring the drinks, we can still build a menu with you. Tell us the crowd and the skill level of the staff and you'll get a printed menu, spirits and mixer shopping lists, and prep notes for whoever's pouring.
Classes & Workshops
Book Dan for a private cocktail class. Pick the spirits or style you want to learn and he'll build the recipes, lead the group through them, and get everyone making them without notes by the end. Works for birthdays, team offsite events, and bachelor or bachelorette parties.
Spirits Tastings
Dan runs private spirits tastings. Tell us what you want to explore and we'll send a shopping list. You buy the bottles, and Dan comes to your space to lead the tasting.
Bar Consultation
Dan consults for bars and restaurants on cocktail programs: menu design, staff training, opening a new bar, or refreshing an existing one. The scope depends on the project.
