    Happy with Andy's shots!
    Savannah F.

    I originally hired another bartending service for a surprise party I was throwing and at the last minute I decided to use First String Bartending Services after reviewing their yelp account. I am so happy I deciding to go with them because their service matches their reviews. I can't thank Richard enough for his professionalism and attentiveness in helping me organize the bar aspect of the party. He made me a shopping list catered to the speciality cocktails we served at the event which was super helpful, put my mind at ease and gave me more time to work on other areas of the party. Our bartender Andy was able to come earlier than we booked on a last minute request which was incredible. He set up quickly, was dressed professionally, very interactive with our guest, kept the bar clean, and had a smile on at all times. Our guest had nothing but nice things to say about his service and drinks! I am very happy I decided to change companies last minute and use First String Bartending Services! Their prices were fair, the service exceeds expectations and I will use them for any future events!

    Having the best time ever!!!

    Always happy with First String Bartending. Their set up is superb. The drinks they put together, menus, decor, and service are outstanding. The staff is friendly, on time, clean, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. Have used them several times. Call and ask for Rich. He is the best to work with. We have used for office holiday parties for over 100 people and just used this last weekend for a 200 person Quinceanera. Even the specialty kids drinks they made were fantastic. Thank you again!

    He did a great job working with the existing bar setup.

    Richard helped my party turn out exactly as I had envisioned! He's super nice, arrived on time, and took care of everything from start to finish. He made sure that we all stayed quenched with yummy adult beverages, handed out Champagne as my guests boarded, and came around to get us all a round of shots going. I appreciate how he went above and beyond. I couldn't be more happier with his service, and cannot wait to throw another event to have him bartend. Richard, you are awesome!! Thank you for making my 30th Birthday Party one for my guests and I to remember!

    Best bartender ever!!

    Our venue was pretty strict and Richard and his team did a phenomenal job with everything tasked to them.

They were patient and helpful through several iterations as we figured out what we each wanted, from the cocktail composition, garnishing, and even the contrast of colors against our cocktails. The final cocktails looked beautiful and were delicious and were very well received by guests. We got a lot of comments on both the presentation and the tasted of the drinks! Beyond the cocktails themselves, Snake Oil was really great to work with. They coordinated closely with Harvest Kitchen and really operated in lockstep with them as a cohesive team, which made the evening feel polished and well-run. Their professionalism, flexibility, and attention to detail made a strong impression on us.

The drinks are already overpriced , which I can tolerate if the atmosphere compensates. It didn't. The drink was a kin to simple syrup and ice. She kept pushing the "double " Before I could say a word, I was met with a loud "no cash, no cash," which was ironic, considering I was about to leave a cash tip. It was never my intent pay cash, I was trying to be kind and not tip on the card but tip cash. When I hesitated after that interaction, I was then told I needed to tip. I did, largely because the look I received suggested either genuine distress or a level of intensity I wasn't interested in testing. If looks could kill, I wouldn't be writing this. It's a strange business model discourage generosity, then demand it. The whole exchange felt unnecessarily confrontational and left the evening on an awkward note. When I met back up with my date she had a similar experience, with the drinks being served with a side sass. We weren't going to let the attitude ruin our night.
