Hawkeye Highballs
Overview
I barbacked, bartended, then managed a bar to graduate from college debt free. Now I have a great corporate job, but it’s remote and both my fiancée and dogs need a break from being my only social interaction on weekdays. I currently work private events as needed for Tobacco Road in downtown Raleigh but as I have a wedding and masters degree to pay for, a little more work goes a long way. References available if needed, I’m excited to help everyone have a good time at your event while keeping it smooth and safe

Nikon made us feel welcomed and like he was truly happy to be a part of our event. He was extremely efficient and fast, while never getting overwhelmed. We had a blast with him as our bartender. I would recommend him to anyone for their next event!

June 17, 2025Niko the Great!
I hosted a surprise 60th birthday party for my mom with about 30 guests, and hiring Niko was one of the best decisions I made. He was professional, prepared, and instantly became a fan favorite. From the moment the first drink was poured, he kept the energy high and the guests well-hydrated. His drink-making skills were impressive, but it was his personality and attentiveness that really stood out. Everyone loved him, and several guests asked where I found him. I would absolutely hire Niko again for future events. He made the party seamless, fun, and memorable. My non-alcoholic family members especially loved his NA cocktails.

We hired Niko to bartend a work event for our company where we had 25 attendees. To say he knocked it out of the park is an understatement. Any worry about not having a second bartender quickly disappeared, seeing how efficiently he was able to craft cocktails for everyone in attendance. His drink knowledge is second to none as all of our requests were not only met, but with personable conversation. Niko will be our bartender for all future events in the area and I couldn't reccomend him more.
