She worked so extremely hard at our event bartending for 40+ guests. She made awesome drinks, cleaned up after everyone, and even washed my glasses at the end of the night. My guests were raving about her! She went above and beyond! I'd definitely hire them again.

Nicole was an absolute pleasure to talk with right off the bat, and I knew we would be in great hands. She is so understanding of what it's like to plan a wedding--the stress and the excitement--and was dedicated to doing everything she could to make sure our event was exactly what we dreamed it would be. I was so touched by the level of care and service she and her husband provided to us. Truly exceptional! The bar itself was adorable and a perfect fit for our venue and theme. Rob was our bartender and he was so fun and friendly. And the drinks? DELICIOUS!!! They make all their own simple syrups and WOW! Everything we tasted was SO good--expertly crafted and mixed, and we heard lots of great feedback from our guests as well. (Apparently the "Tipsy Pony" drink that gives the company its name is dangerously good! I am going to have to try it next time!) Nicole and Rob were also super creative as they helped us come up with some special "signature cocktails" for our event. They really went above and beyond for us. We can't wait until we can host/attend another event with TPPB! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I used these fellas for my first Mardi Gras soiree. I'll summarize the process:…read more- I emailed with Noah to give some details and set up an initial meeting time - I met with Noah to try some drinks to flesh out the menu (not free tasting, BTW) - I got the contract, finalized details of pick up/take down (complicated during Mardi Gras) and payed 50%. - A list of alcohol for me to purchase was sent out a week before the event. - They set up the day before, show up the day of, do the deed, I pay, and pick up their stuff the next day. Now, I used their glasses, their ice, their bar setup, etc. I only supplied the alcohol and mixers. I ended up with two bartenders: one experienced (Rob) and one learning. In the end, I probably didn't need two for the party of about 40 people. One would have been sufficient. We did three cocktails, one mocktail, one cocktail into a spritzer, one red wine, one white wine and two beers. It was a pretty stellar menu! Price-wise, it was about $1100 for 4 hours, not including alcohol. Seemed like a lot of money but is likely on par with similar services. I was very very happy with their service, their drinks and their set up. They'll be getting a call back for this year's party no doubt!

I'm sure they have that in place for a reason, especially people that can cancel last minute completely understand.

I was excited to have the wow experience with having a drink truck at our party. The day before…read moreour event the owner called to say his truck broke down and what's my plan B. I hired someone to avoid having to worry, but then I spent my evening very upset. He did not offer my money back so I asked him to either provide me with what I paid or give me my money back. We compromised and he sent someone else with a a couple of wines and a couple bottles of each liquor. It worked out but was way, way to expensive for how little I had at my party. I was expecting so much more for the price I paid. The bartender was very nice and did a great job. I realize things happen out of the owner's control, but upsetting me and asking me what I am going to do was very unprofessional.

First things first: DO NOT TAKE CLASSES HERE THINKING YOU ARE GOING TO GET A JOB... It's just not…read moregoing to happen. This is a great place to go to learn how to make drinks, learn the history behind certain drinks and alcohols and basically learn bar etiquette. But one of the key enticements they offer is their "lifetime job placement assistance". Now, the wording here is the key: see, they don't actually PLACE you anywhere. They simply give you a log-in to a database where jobs are listed. Then you go, apply for those jobs and the interviewer raises an eyebrow at your audacity that you have NO bartending experience and wanted to work at their establishment. See, bartending school isn't the magic "in" you thought it was. You're not going to graduate, find a job right away and the cash tips aren't just going to unfurl on you. Like most other jobs, people want you to have experience, but no one wants to give you your first shot (and take a chance on you) in order for you to GET that experience; it's a terrible catch-22. Most jobs you apply at will reject you outright, offer you a position as a barback or waitress/waiter and have you work your way up or they MIGHT (and that's a big "might") consider you, but they will give you a "bartending exam", which will look incredibly similar to the written mid-term and final the STL Bartending Institute gives you, only it's longer and much more intensive. (Incidentally, the STL Bartending Institute's curriculum covers mixed drinks in great detail, but only skates over beer and wine in a day... These are two things that are intensely covered in the exams most corporate bars will give you as a prerequisite for employment). I'm not saying don't take classes here (or pay the $425 for them), I'm just saying be realistic about the results. Other people will sway you entirely away from bartending school (like the moronic article "Ask Your Bartender: Bartending Schools" by Jefferey Morgenthaler) and tell you that there are other ways of sneaking into the bar system, but the bottom line is this: most corporate bars want experience and want you to work your way up and (from what I gather) most small, neighborhood and dive bars are a pretty close nit bunch and are not easily infiltrated. Only you can decide if it's worth the money and the time (40 hours, 4 hour classes 5 days a week for two weeks) and effort. I'm just telling you what you can likely expect.

Dear Patrick, I'm unable to respond directly to your comment so I'll leave it here…read more We were instructed to put together boxes labeled by table number with decorations and directions/pictures on how we wanted them. We were told the decorations would be put on the tables by your team and the tear down/set up of the room would be taken care of by Russo's staff. That may not be what is on the written contract but it is 100% what my fiance and I were told. Which is why we put together boxes and a binder to be organized and helpful. I have never spoken to you so I'm not sure how you know what was discussed with us and what was not. I stated above the communication prior to our wedding day was horrendous and it was very hard to get questions answered. Maybe if communication had been better any confusion on expectations could have been cleared up. Aside from that, if you had properly read my review you would have comprehended that my complaint was not with the fact that your staff didn't set out the decorations, but with the fact they didn't communicate that they weren't going to until 10 minutes before the reception started. As I stated above my mother showed them the boxes, decorations and binder before the cocktail hour started and the staff member agreed with my mother that they would set it out. If it wasn't in the contract and they weren't planning on doing that then that was the opportunity to let that be known. However, they waited until 10 minutes before and that made us run 40 minutes behind schedule. To address your comment that the outside bar closed and the inside one opened... how were my guests supposed to get to the inside bar while they were at the outdoor cocktail hour? They could not enter because my mother and bridal party were setting up the inside of the building. Therefore my guests were outside with a closed bar while the bartender was at an empty inside bar for 40 minutes.

The space is perfect for a reception or any type of small or large gathering. It's open and you create the theme of your choice. The room houses two large bars and plenty of space for a buffet setup, cake stand, picture booth and much, much more. The lighting is great for phot ops and really helps to display the decor and cleanliness. It's really just a great space all around and there is soo much that you can do with it to capture whatever essence you are going for. The staff was super attentive and nice and what's crazy I ended up at the second bar towards the back because it was closer to our table. The young man whom was tending bar that night looked all of 18 but he was a master craftsman at concocting cocktails and super knowledgeable about drinks. He was very professional and quite nice. I would definitely use the space for a future birthday or event.
