Mobile Bar Questions

We know you have questions, and we've got answers.

Here are some of the questions that we get asked a lot.  Should you have questions, and you don't see your answer here, feel free to give us a call.  We can be reached at cindy@bubblesandbrews.ca or 403.383.0900

  • What area do you serve?

    Predominantly we work in and around the Calgary area.  We do head to Airdrie, Okotoks, High River, Lethbridge, Olds, Banff, Canmore and almost anywhere in Southern Alberta.  We do often have trips to Kelowna and the Okanogan.  When we do this, most of the time we book more than one event out that way, so if you're out that way, sign up to our newsletter, and you can book our services without extra costs.

  • What can we put on tap?

    One of the biggest questions we get from clients is "What can we put on tap?".  This is a good question and we will do our best to give you a good list.  As a rule, we can tap anything that comes in a 20L keg. Also recently we have learned how to custom keg almost anything.  Signature Cocktails, Mocktails, non-alcoholic drinks like lemonade, almost anything.

    Consult your local liquor store for availability of various Prosecco, Wine, Cider and Beer that is is available in a 20L format.  We are working with a local liquor company to help us with a short list for you to choose from.

    This is what we know is available:

    As a rule, allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.  Bubbles and Brews cannot sell liquor, as this is part of the AGLC rules.  We can help you coordinate your needs, but alcohol is not available directly through us.

    Please contact the store to confirm availability. A retailer may sell out of any product at any time.  This list is to the best of our knowledge at this time what is available.  Choices might change at anytime.

  • What do we need to make BB work at our event?

    BB (Bubbles and Brews Van) is pretty petite, however she does need some space....

    She needs about a 5 foot wide level entrance.  So that means some of the places she's been is backyards, driveways, convention centres, most wedding venues almost anywhere.

    If you are worried if we might not fit into your venu, give us a shout and we'll swing by to look at ways to make it work.  We've removed fence sections, built platforms, and other thing.

    BB likes to be the centre of attention when it's her time to glow.  Accordingly it is nice to have about a 10 x 10 foot footprint to ensure that there is room for her, decor and guests.

    Her power requirements are pretty minimal.  She just requires 110v 15amp service.  This is typical of most standard plugins.  Should your event not have power close to where she is going to perform, then let us know and for an extra cost we can bring a generator to help out.

  • We just need to serve for a couple hours. Is there a way that we can make this work?

    Of course!  However there is a very limited season that we can be available, so we have a minimum 4 hour charge, and on Saturdays from June 1st to Sept 31st, we have a 7 hour minimum.  

    Call us to discuss.  Sometimes we can do a quick setup before another event, so we will always do what we can to accomodate your needs.

  • How much time does it take to setup, and if we are having too much fun, is it possible to keep you longer than originally planned?

    Typically we are onsite from 1 to 1.5 hours before we are planned to begin serving.  If needed this can be shortened, however we will want to ensure that there are no hiccups, so site visits prior to the event would be highly recommended.

    As far as staying longer, we find that things always seem to be going great when we are there.  As long as we do not have a prior commitement for something after your event, we can stay.  We charge $150.00 per hour for extra time.

    Our pricing is inclusive of setup time and tear down, so if you are hiring us for 7 hours, you get 7 hours of serving time.  (You may want to check with others if you are comparing our pricing)

  • Is decor included in your pricing?

    Short answer is Yes!  We have quite an assortment of looks to match your event.  If you have a very specific look in mind, reach out to discuss it with Cindy.  We can either blend what we have to work, or work with our partners to find the items that will match and come up with a quote to match your needs.
