I want to start this review off by saying Eric and his team are so accommodating and resourceful!! As far as the bartending is concerned, they hire bartenders with great personalities, who will light up any party that you host. I've been to parties with bartenders that make it so awkward while you're waiting for your drink. And this was the complete opposite of that! They work within a reasonable budget with you and come up with the absolute best cocktail menu for your party/event. I would say that the pricing is very reasonable and you're getting really good top tier level alcohol 10 out of 10 I would recommend to anybody!! They know how to run a business and run it really well!! read more

I have re-written this review many times with probably too many details but ultimately, hiring this company was the worst part of my wedding. If I could go back in time, I would have rather had a dry wedding than have to hear about what a horrible experience my guests had with regards to the bar/bartenders. I wish I could say the red flags started on my wedding day, but they didn't. I won't get into all the other details that happened between myself and Eric prior to the wedding, but I wish I had listened to my family when they said to "just let him keep the non-refundable portion of the deposit and to use someone (ANYONE) else" but I decided to be a bigger person and assume he "had a bad day". I will attach photos of this correspondence, but if you would like more details, feel free to message me. I only say this because I want to speak only from my guests' point of view and not leave a full-blown essay of a review. I had agreed to tip the bartenders $150 each and said it would be ok if they put a tip jar out. Had I known that the bartenders would say things like "It wouldn't hurt you to tip" and "No tip??" or "You know you can tip us, right?", I would have never hired them. That is beyond embarrassing!! But it didn't stop there, the drinks were so gross. Since they were missing ingredients, like OJ, they were hand squeezing oranges and trying to make do - but frankly, I have had better mixtures in water bottles as a high school student back in the day. The bartenders also told people that they couldn't have water and that we were "saving it". WHAT ARE WE SAVING IT FOR? We were not low on water at all and had SO MUCH left over afterwards...The cherry on top was when I spoke with one of the bartenders towards the end of the night and they said they were sorry for the missing ingredients and that the company is a total mess and that I should call them directly for my next event rather than go through Eric. I debated including this detail in my review as I don't want to get anyone in trouble, but then I remember how this bartending company was the only thing I hated about my wedding, and how this company was my only source of wedding drama throughout the entire planning experience (and I planned a wedding during COVID lol). At the end of the day, I wouldn't even be writing this review if Eric had just apologized. Instead, he made endless excuses for his and his bartenders' behavior. I read more

See all

I had a great experience with this private bartending service. I have worked with them twice now. As long as you know your needs (ie ratio of bartenders/drinks to guests) then the experience is super smooth. Eric was very quick to respond any and all of my questions. The bartenders arrived on time and were super professional. I forgot a key ingredient for one of the cocktails the first time around, which slowed the process down, but the second time I worked with them I was fully prepared and the evening and cocktails were perfectly timed. Would recommend and use them for future experiences/events! read more

This was rip off. For the price you pay you definitely dont get what you pay for. They came with the cheapest bottle vodka and tequila. The bartender that was sent out couldn't even make any basic drinks because she had no supplies. The contract said they would supply everything hence whynwe took the more expensive package.They had no type of soda and when we asked we only got 3 small bottles of coke. We spent 1200 dollars and was taking straight shots of the alcohol we had to buy. Please anyone thinking about hiring them do your research and get another company. read more

I highly recommend Eric as your bartender! Not only is he proficient and very capable of any type of crowd, he is also a crowd pleaser and my guests just loved him! A definite PLUS for any gathering! read more

Ari was the bartender at our party and she was amazing! She was self sufficient and brought her own bartending tools. She was very accommodating and cleaned everything up and after her shift was done she set up the bar for "self-service." 100% would use her again! read more

Gen-Eric Bartending - People were gathered around the bar with Ari for most of the party...everyone enjoyed her energy! - Bartenders Near Me

Reached out to Eric for a bartender for my birthday. He was really helpful in the planning stage for the event, and was communicative throughout. His right hand person Casey bartended my birthday and was super friendly, helpful and charismatic. Everyone had a good time. read more

Had Eric at one of my events and he was great , I had a specific menu and he made it easy making drinks. The crowd loved him will definitely hire him again. read more

I hired Gen-Eric bartending services for my wedding last minute & everyone at my party was pleased with their services. Our bartender's name was Ari, she was so sweet & very professional, she made sure the bride (me) & the groom were well taken care of. Ari you did such a great job!! I will definitely be coming back to them next time we have a big party. By the way we had more guest than what we expected & she handled it like a professional!! Thank you so much!! read more

I was a guest at a party where Eric bartended. He was great. I asked for a drink but didn't know what I wanted. He asked me a few questions: What type of liquor? Sweet or not? Fruity or not? What he made me was delicious. I asked him what it was. He said it didn't have a name; he just made me something he thought I'd like. I did. A lot. read more

He was awesome, very professional and fast all through the event. I will always use Eric again in the future.

I definitely enjoyed having Gen-Eric Bartending for my bday cocktail party. My bartender's name was Ruby and she was great. She made sure I was well taken care of at my party and served everyone so well. She was dressed well/professionally and everything was set up so nicely. Also the booking process was simple and it was nice to know everything was take care of. I highly recommend them. It's a nice small business. I would definitely use them again! read more

The day of our small event we decided to hire a bartender and messaged Eric. He responded immediately and was able to book A bartender for us. Ari was amazing, so personable and professional! She completed our event and I would definitely use their services again! Highly recommend them! Thanks Eric and Ari!!! read more

Lots of fun. Great company, bartenders killed it and their personality matched casino night perfectly. Gotta get these guys

Eric was very professional & helpful over the phone in helping us decide what drinks to serve for my best friend's birthday party. He made our party feel like a priority & gave helpful suggestions for the drink menu as well as mixers (& drinks we'd never heard of) and they were a hit! He will give you drink options based on whatever suggestion you give him - he's very knowledgeable. He set us up with Ari who kept the party going. She was amazing! She made sure everyone had a great time & was very efficient. Will definitely be hiring Gen-Eric Bartending for future parties/events, highly recommend! read more
