Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "Dry Hire" Bar Service?
"Dry Hire" means we provide the professional service, bar setup, mixers, napkins, cups, straws, ice, and signage but you provide the alcohol. It allows you to skip the massive venue markups and purchase your favorite brands at retail prices. We handle the rest—from setup to the final pour.
Do you provide the alcohol?
Per Hawai'i State Liquor Laws, we cannot legally purchase or sell alcohol. However, we make it incredibly easy for you! Once you book a package, we provide a customized alcohol shopping list based on your guest count and signature drink choices, so you know exactly what to buy without overspending.
What do you provide in your packages?
While you bring the booze, we bring the "everything else." Depending on your package, this includes:
Professional bar tools (shakers, jiggers, etc.)
All the mixers needed to create a great cocktail/mocktail
Dehydrated or fresh garnishes.
High-end compostable and/or repurposed recycled plastic drinkware, napkins, and straws
Ice (optional add-on) and cooling equipment
