Yes, we are proud to offer mocktails at our virtual bar! We speak to substitution options during the happy hour and can send a Mocktail Shipment that includes zero-proof spirits in place of our Spirit Shipment.

Your headcount is determined by the number of individuals participating, NOT number of screens.

Once your event is reserved, you will be assigned your personal Party Concierge who connect with you regarding your Guest List and Cocktail Pairing.

We are first come, first serve at our virtual bar. We are a small but mighty team that is trying to scale- thoughtfully.

For events with shipments, if your requested date and time are available, shipping information is requested 2+ weeks (3+ weeks international) ahead of your party.

Guests added within the two week window will incur expedited shipping costs.

Our Happy Hours typically include crafting two cocktails, but we can limit your Happy Hour to making one cocktail by request. We will provide the ingredients, along with a digital recipe card, for both cocktails in your pairing so your guests will still have the opportunity to try it on their own after the event.

Our events are designed to be customizable and with the aim to make each and every Happy Hour (and guest!) feel special! We can plan for toasts, pipe in tunes, customize the names of drinks, etc.

We can also add items to your shipments à la carte so your guests have exactly what they need for a specific Happy Hour experience.

Our virtual events can accomodate groups of ANY size. As we always say, the more the merrier. It's a party after all ; ).

All are welcome here! Guests will have the opportunity to opt in to a Mocktail Shipment if they prefer not to imbibe. All of our cocktails can be transformed into mocktails, and nearly all of our events have guests making cocktail and mocktails simultaneously. The best thing about being a virtual bar is that we can be as inclusive as possible!

All you will need to do is provide your guests' email addresses, and we'll do the rest!

Your Party Concierge will send an RSVP Form to your guests to invite them to vote on their Cocktail Pairing, provide their shipping information, and even answer a few ice breaker questions.

You also have the option to provide shipping information on your own if you prefer to skip that step.

We send a Calendar Invite with a Zoom link to your guests so they can seamlessly block off party-time and easily join the festivities. We can also provide the zoom link for you to add to your own invite.

For shipments sent to your guests ahead of the big day, our standard pricing is already inclusive of shipping within the US (with a 2+ week lead time) and any applicable sales tax. An expedited shipping fee within 2 weeks of the event as well as international customs fee may also be applied. All costs are upfront with zero hidden fees.

Our events can accomodate groups all together in one location, all virtual, or a hybrid of both! As long as you have enough supplies to go around, we all bring the party - together, wherever!

We even have a special Party Box shipment that provides enough ingredients to serve up to 8 guests, plus some extra party favors to amp up the festivities (cocktail glitter, anyone?!)!

Our virtual happy hours take place over Zoom.

We're virtual, baby!

While our HQ is in NYC we can celebrate anytime, anywhere- and have.

We've celebrated date nights to international conferences across different time zones.

Ever wondered what Rosie the Rivitor's favorite cocktail might be? Well, we have! Meet our Founder, CEO, and fearless leader: Lauren Mendell

The very first Hey Bartender event (before that was even a thing) was a surprise virtual birthday at the beginning of the pandemic for a negroni lover. Our founders connected through an Instragram DM and a crazy idea to teach some friends to make a few negronis on zoom - and the rest is history!

Our Hey Bartenders are world renown, award-winning, highly experienced, and endlessly engaging. And most of all, they are eager to guide you how to make "your drink, your way" while having a great time!

Yes! We understand that not everyone RSVPs on time so we offer an expedited shipping option.

(Usually) an alcoholic tincture with extremely strong flavor and aroma that bartenders use to season cocktails with, like a cook with salt and pepper.

Bartender. It encompasses the most important aspect of the job, which is to tend to the bar and the people in it.

Mixology is just taste theory, and though some are much better at it than others, it has little to do with to job you see us actually doing.

Bourbon is a type of whiskey, just as a square is a type of rectangle. It’s one particular type that must be made in the USA.

Both shaking and stirring help us to achieve the twin goals of dilution and chill, the difference between them is the resulting texture. Stirred drinks are silky, shaken ones are bright and invigorating, and at least at first are even a tiny bit bubbly from being shaken.

The short answer is you don’t - it takes expensive machinery, or a serious amount of space and time. Thankfully it’s not necessary AT ALL - clear ice doesn’t melt any slower than normal freezer ice, you just need to make sure you have enough of it!

Both are agave spirits made in Mexico, but mezcal is far more robust in flavor and aroma and is costlier to produce. Think tequila on fire!

Vermouth is a wine that is fortified (strengthened) with additional alcohol and aromatized with botanicals. It is then sweetened (either a little or a lot).
