Bartending at the Fire Gardens in Fallbrook

One of our 700+ Weddings
Hi I'm Scott, Owner and lead Bartender with over 19 years experience in bartending both with 5-star venues, as well as private "in-home" bartending. I have a knowledgeable and fun staff of bartender/server personnel. With the high cost of banquet venues, more people are turning to the private bartender to be more cost effective. We can also help create a custom drink menu for any type theme. I have all the proper equipment including portable bars to turn any venue or home into your own personal bar or night club. With Always a Happy Hour Bartending no event is too big or too small. From 10 to over 500, we have your party needs covered.

April 10, 2017I hired Scott this past weekend for my gfs bachelorette party and it was nothing short than fantastic! Scott was so sweet, professional, and most importantly made excellent drinks for us all afternoon! He kept our glasses full the entire time and always mixed it up with different types of drinks each time! Everyone loved it! I will totally rehire Scott again for parties in the future! Everyone needs a Scott in their life! Lol

It was my pleasure to meet you a Crystal and your friends. It was a fun group to bartend. Just think, you are one of the few who does have a Scott in their life lol, you have my number, just give me a call and I will be there and hook you up with a free LED lighted bar. Maybe next time I will grill for you guys as well. Glad you enjoyed the strawberry lemonade's. Did you make any later that night after I thought you how to pour? Thanks again for having me out.

March 22, 2017First off I want to begin with Scott the owner, he is not just a bartender but the first time you speak to him he talks like a friend. Planning my wedding I found every vendor that we used with that being said things get tricky because everybody says they're the best. In Scott case I booked him the day I talk to him he not only spoke to me about bartending but he helped me when choosing other vendors and what to look for and what to buy. The day of him and two other bartenders blew it out of the water. My guest would walk up to me and tell me how nice those people are and they took care of everybody even during the crazy times of cocktail hour when people tend to get pretty crazy LOL. I want hundred percent recommend him because he's almost like a party planner :). Thank you Scott !

Thank you Christine for the kind words. It is so hard too get someone to post a review, but it really makes me smile too know I could help take some stress off planning your wedding. We have done around 700+ weddings and have picked up a few things along the way. You, your family and friends were great and we loved being a small part of your special day. Congratulations again!

April 1, 2016I was hosting a bachelorette party for my good friend and decided to hire a bartender while we relaxed by the pool. Scott is incredible! He not only made delicious drinks but he also prepared lunch for our group of 10. He truly goes above and beyond for his customers! If you are looking for a bartender in the area, hire Scott. You will be a happy customer!

Thank you Casandra for taking the time with your busy schedule to do this for me. It was my pleasure to pamper you all with both Bartending and grilling lunch while you layed poolside. I made the balsamic marinaded asparagus since that weekend, love that smell. Glad the maple glazed Brussels sprouts worked, my first time cooking them especially on the grill. Note to self, par boil the lil suckers first lol. Hopefully our paths will cross again in the future and I can do this again for you. Take care, and again thanks for the review!

August 5, 2015We hired Happy Hour Bartending for our outdoors, pool, beach wedding on July 25. Scott is in contact with me and answers all my questions in no time. He helped me create my wedding signature drinks and his bartenders execute an excellent, fun, and an amazing job.
Very friendly and professionals.
My husband , I and all my guest are so happy with the service he provided us with such a good price with an highly great service. Definitely will recommend and use this company again.
Thank you Happy Hour Bartenders.

July 24, 2015Scott was the perfect addition to a weekend away with 10 girls. He kept our drinks full, came up with new and fun drinks for us to try, BBQ'd for us, did a few massages and cleaned up the kitchen -- he really was full service!

Thank you for the review. I enjoyed doing the extra things like grilling and utilizing my massage skills to make it feel like you girls were at a tropical resort. I enjoyed being your bartender, cabana boy, massage therapist, and chef :o) you guys were great! Wish you were local so I could do it again.

We will provide you and your guests with a worry-free experience, and always be courteous and greet each guest with a smile. We will pour accurate and consistant drinks. We will provide a drink menu to help your guests with what can be ordered with the available alcohol purchased.
Why make drinks for you and your guests? Allow us to do that for you so you can enjoy your own party worry and hassle free. Our mobile bartenders bring the bar right to your home or venue to allow a more intimate and private setting.

We provide the bartenders, cocktail servers, portable bars, straws, napkins, drink garnishes, club, tonic, grenadine, disposable shot glasses, and a custom drink menu specific to your event.
