Make room
for a
good night.
From the patio to the dining room, a cocktail bar planned around your space, your guests and your occasion.
Plan your gatheringMade around your gathering
A good night starts
with a thoughtful plan.
The details, worked out
A shopping list sized to your gathering. Pourfoli brings the bar tools and sets up before guests arrive, with glassware and ice agreed in advance.
Service on the night
A bartender making and serving the drinks on your menu, so you can spend the evening with your guests.
You purchase the alcohol. Pourfoli does not sell or supply it. Scope and price are agreed before you commit.
Behind the bar
Served with care.
A relaxed evening for you depends on a bar that's run responsibly.
Certified to serve
TIPS certified in responsible alcohol service, and ServSafe Food Handler certified for everything that goes into the drinks.
IDs checked
ID is checked whenever there's any doubt, and no one under 21 is served.
A bar that looks after your guests
A guest who has had enough is politely offered water or a no-alcohol drink instead.
Your bottles, your prices
You buy from the shopping list at store prices. No markup, and the unopened bottles stay with you.
How it works
Sized to your event, not a package
There are no fixed packages. Guest count, length and menu shape the plan and the price, and you'll know both before you commit.
Tell us about the event
The date, the place, roughly how many guests, and the kind of night you have in mind.
Plan it together
Agree on the menu, get your shopping list, and confirm the price before you commit.
Hold the date
A deposit reserves your date. Minimum length, booking lead time and cancellation terms are written into your proposal.
Enjoy the night
Pourfoli arrives early to set up and runs the bar through the event.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
The things hosts usually ask before booking. Anything else, just ask.
Do you supply the alcohol?
No. You buy it from the shopping list, so you pay store prices with no markup and keep whatever is unopened. Pourfoli does not sell or supply alcohol.
How much should we buy?
Your shopping list is sized to your guest count, the length of the evening and the drinks on your menu, so you aren't guessing.
Can we have a cash bar or sell drinks?
No. Selling drinks requires a liquor license. At a Pourfoli event, drinks are made and poured for your guests, never sold.
Do you check IDs?
Yes. ID is checked whenever there's any doubt, and no one under 21 is served, even at a family event.
What happens if a guest has had too much?
They're politely offered water or a no-alcohol drink and no further alcohol. It's handled quietly, so the evening carries on.
Can you make drinks without alcohol?
Yes. A no-alcohol cocktail can be part of any menu, made with the same care as the rest.
What do you need from us?
A table or counter near where guests gather, plus the glassware and ice agreed in your plan. Pourfoli brings the bar tools.
How do we reserve a date?
Once the plan and price are agreed, a deposit holds your date. Your proposal sets out the minimum length of service, how far ahead to book and the cancellation terms.
Where do you serve?
Private homes, patios and gatherings in Minneapolis, Saint Paul and nearby cities.
