Everything You Need
to Know.

No — Boa Bar never sells alcohol. We provide the service, skill, bartenders, and all bar equipment. We give you a detailed alcohol shopping list based on your event, or we can coordinate procurement for you. You purchase the alcohol, we make it exceptional.

We serve Washington DC, Maryland (Bethesda, Rockville, Silver Spring, Baltimore, and surrounding areas), and Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Ashburn, McLean, and surrounding areas). If you're unsure whether we cover your area, contact us — we'll make it work.

We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance for private parties and 3–6 months for weddings. That said, we do accommodate last-minute bookings when our schedule allows. Contact us as early as possible to secure your date.

Yes. Boa Bar carries full liability insurance on every booking. We provide documentation to any venue that requires it — corporate spaces, wedding venues, private estates. Just let us know what's needed.

Mobile bartending starts at $600 for 1 bartender with up to 4 hours of service for smaller events. Final pricing depends on guest count, hours, location, and add-ons. Every proposal is fully itemized and transparent — no surprises.

Travel within the DMV core area is typically included. For events beyond a certain distance, a travel fee may apply. This is always stated clearly in your proposal before you commit to anything.

Our cocktail making classes work for groups of 10 to 100+. For groups larger than 30, we bring additional bartenders to ensure everyone gets a hands-on experience. Tell us your group size and we'll build the right format.

Guests make 3 cocktails each during the hands-on class, guided step by step by our bartender instructor. There's also a competition round where teams compete and guests vote. Recipe cards are included to take home.

We provide all non-alcoholic ingredients, tools, and equipment. You provide the alcohol based on our shopping list. This keeps the cost transparent and gives you full control of the spirits budget.
