FAQs
Does the Cowpoke Cantina supply the alcohol?
We get this question a lot. Our cantina is a "dry hire" bar, which means that you (our client), your venue or caterer provides the alcohol, according to law in the State of Texas. Since we are a mobile bar company, we are not allowed to carry a Texas liquor license. All of our bartenders are TABC certified and insured, which grants us to service alcohol for your event. Due to laws in the State of Texas, we are not allowed to sell alcohol, which means no cash bar. However, we think the positive side to this means that this gives all of our clients flexibility of purchasing your own alcohol, which can reduce your overall cost. You keep whatever we don't use! We will give you a shopping list to ensure that you not only run out of alcohol for your event, but also so you don't overbuy as well. We will factor in guest count, hours of service and the selection of drinks. We take care of everything else, to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible!
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Our mobile bar carries both general and liquor liability insurance!
Do you need electricity?
We do require a 30amp electrical outlet plug is within reach to where our trailer will be set up at. We always bring extra extension cords and a generator if requested. If power is not available, we will provide a generator for an additional cost. We do require 2 hours to set up before your event starts! If the event is held on private property, we can serve with permission from the property owner.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require a 50% non-refundable payment to reserve your event date(s)! The remaining balance will be due 30 days from the scheduled event day(s) - any cancellations made within 30 days of your event date, will lose the right to a full refund.
Do you have cocktail tastings prior to the event?
Absolutely! All packages include a cocktail tasting with your selected signature cocktails, to ensure you enjoy what is going to be served and if any changes need to be made. We will prepare and provide supplies for up to 6 cocktails of choice and discuss your custom printed bar menu, which is also included in all packages!
What types of events can you serve?

Where are you located? How far will you travel?
We are located in a small central/west Texas town called Zephyr, but are always up to travel! 30 miles of Zephyr, Texas is included in our base package pricing. Additional travel is $1.50/mile round trip! Anything that exceeds a 4 hour drive, will require an additional $250 for overnight lodging accommodations.
Do you have minimums for events?
We have a 2 staff member minimum on events larger than 75 people, a $1800 minimum on all wedding packages with our mobile bar and a 4 hour minimum on all services/rentals for any Friday-Sunday events. There is a lot of time, cleaning and work that goes into keeping our cantina in good shape before and after each event! Any event that is NOT a wedding, will have a different base price and will require a custom quote. Please reach out to us to request a quote and we will get back with you!
Can we add decor?
Of course! We love decorating our mobile bar for each event. When you book with us, we love to get ALL the details of how to make your event unique. We can bring along selected add-ons from our packaging to your event. You are always welcome to provide your own decor for the mobile bar - any decorations placed by the client, must not be hanging or anything that could permanently damage or alter our trailer. We are not responsible for any damage to your personal property!
