Great drinks, everyone loved Neil!
Bartender

The experience with Rose City Cocktails, especially with the bartender Neil was exceptional! We had a 25 person 40th birthday party and while the event was small, they made me feel like it was an important event. I loved that they were responsive to questions, knowledgeable about different drinks and willing to do whatever we needed to make the day special. My husband is a bourbon-lover and Neil brought a drink smoker over to infuse the Old Fashioneds. Additionally, there was several kids at the event and instead of just handing out juice boxes, he made Shirley Temples and gave the kids some great fun. I could not be more pleased with the service and would HIGHLY recommend these guys again. They do not disappoint.

Absolute 10/10 service for Neil and his rockstar company! My husband and I planned our wedding last summer and immediately were connected with Neil. He was so helpful during the cocktail menu planning process, made us a custom Google Doc checklist, and was always willing to hop on a call when we had questions. When our wedding plans changed due to COVID, Neil was there every step of the way and was open to changing up the plans (several times). He provided a complete bar to set up at our private residence wedding and it was a complete hit with all of our guests. I couldn't recommend them enough!!

My company has used Rose City Cocktail's services for two recent events and we love how easy and streamlined setup and service has been. Would highly recommend this service at mixer and social hour events!
Bartender

Neil was an amazing bartender. He didn't just show up and pour drinks. He helped us plan, created a shopping list, brought his own setup, cleaned up and so much more. He helped make our special day memorable! I promise you won't be disappointed. 5 stars isn't enough.

I use Rose City on the regular and they never disapoint. Neil and the team are amazing. I'm grateful to have discovered their service! 10/10 would reccomend :)

Response from Rose City Cocktails:
Aw shucks, thanks :)

We would use them again, but just note that if you only give them 1 weeks notice it's a bit bumpy. One week isn't much time.

Thanks Lisa! Call us for the next one:)

Neil was great—very punctual, organized and cheerful. Mixed cocktails to everyone’s specifications and discreetly packed, cleaned up, and slipped out at the end of his shift, even as the party continued with the late-night crowd.
Bartender

Prompt, worked well with our group, allowed for setup/takedown time and planned accordingly. Neil also helped create an alcohol shopping list for us which was extremely helpful
Bartender

Neil was absolutely great, and we enjoyed having him in our home! Would absolutely hire him and the rose city cocktail team again. Very smooth.

Thanks Christine:):):)

We had a Bartender on site at our desired time with bar, taps, jockey box, cups, garnishes and signs. Whatever was asked Neil provided and went above and beyond for us. Don’t hesitate on booking Rose City cocktails if you want a professional, reliable, and good bartender!

I'm so pleased with the service Rose City Cocktails provided! We hired them for a company happy hour and they made sure to send us a list of the things we needed, get that prepped and come up with some signature cocktails.
Highly recommend!
Bartender

Hey all,
Chelsea, our bartender, was FABULOUS. so kind and personable. Neil was also great upon dropping off the bar, etc. Will 100% be utilizing your services again. The experience was so simple and easy to work with.
thank you !
Bartender
Response from Rose City Cocktails:
You rock Megan, thanks! :)

Not just the drinks (excellent), or the flower garnishes (a fun touch) or the professional set-up (much appreciated) - Neil was a fun, welcoming presence who really did give the party an extra “ zip” ... and allowed the hosts to enjoy their own party!! Thanks so much !!
Bartender
Our whole experience with Neil and Rose City Cocktails was fantastic start to finish! There was so much value in the service provided and Neil was an asset to our guests' experience for my husband's 50th bday party. We will DEFINITELY use them again!
Bartender

Communicating to get this event put together was quite difficult. I’d go 48+ hours without replays, and then to top it off the cocktail kits we ordered as a separate cost didn’t have the correct ingredients in them for the cocktails we were making. I honestly had hoped for a bit more than what was provided and won’t be recommending this service to anyone else.

Hi Jesselle. It sounds like we could have done a much better job with your virtual event, and that's our fault. I encourage all clients to use my personal contact information for anything they require, and I wish I had done better at knowing of your frustration on correspondence. I will use this experience to improve our communication with all of our clients going forward. Thank you for your candid feedback.

Neil was great and entertaining. We appreciate him taking the time out of his busy schedule (and moving!). Our attendees enjoyed the show! Many thanks!
Bartender

Neil was engaging, funny and accommodating and the cocktails were delicious! He took our zoom birthday gathering to the next level.

Response from Rose City Cocktails:
Thanks Anna! Your family and guests were a pleasure to serve. Best wishes to you and Zac, call us for the anniversary parties :)

I was nervous to hire a bartender for my husbands 40th Birthday, but Neil crushed it! He was timely, the drinks were fantastic, the set up was seamless and he worked his magic with the crowd. We had 100 people for a Birthday party at our house and nobody had to wait for drinks. I can't wait to have another event and invite him- it elevated everyones experience and made the night that much more fun!

Response from Rose City Cocktails:
Thank you Michelle! Great to hear:)

We hired Neil to bartend my 50th birthday fiasco, er..celebration, and he was awesome. Every single person who I talked to had nothing but great things to say about him. His drinks were super tasty, he was so easy to work with, and he gave my friends smoked bourbon drinks! If you are looking for an amazing bartend who is super relaxed, easy to work with, and makes great drinks do not hesitate to hire Neil. My only regret is that we don't have another upcoming event to hire him.

Response from Rose City Cocktails:
Best CLIENT ever! Thanks Shannon:)

I hired Rose City Cocktails to help bartend for our wedding. Neil was prompt, reliable, helpful and easy to work with. I am so glad we chose to utilize his services as they worked out perfectly for our wedding and outdoor venue. Also important to note our guests loved the service provided as well! People's drinks were quickly refilled when they went to the bar. I would highly recommend Rose City Cocktails for any event
