FAQ

Good
to know.

Do you provide the alcohol?

You can bring your own liquor, or use the Blackout liquor courier. Send Antwon your bottle list and he delivers it for the price per bottle plus a $50 courier fee, on any package. Beer too. Blackout provides the bartender and, depending on your tier, the cups, straws, mixes, ice and napkins.

How far ahead should I book?

Four to six weeks is comfortable for most private parties. Weddings, and any event in May or October, are worth locking in two to three months ahead.

Where do you work?

Memphis and the Mid-South, including Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Cordova and Southaven. Ask about travel when you send your request.

How much does it cost?

Bartending is $150 for up to 25 guests and up to 3 hours, then $75 per hour. Add a coverage tier at $50, $100 or $150 for signature drinks and supplies. Tips are in addition.

Do you check ID?

Yes. Every guest is carded before being served. Bartenders pace service and decline to pour for anyone who has had enough or cannot verify they are 21 or older.

What do I need to provide?

The liquor (or the courier), a table or flat surface for the bar, and access to power and water if your venue has them. Your coverage tier lists exactly which supplies Blackout brings.

What are the deposit and cancellation terms?

Antwon confirms your date, total and any deposit in your quote. If plans change, reach out as soon as you can so the date can be moved or released.

Is there a minimum booking?

The bartending rate covers up to 25 guests and up to 3 hours. After 3 hours it is $75 per hour. For a bigger crowd, ask for a quote.

What if my outdoor event gets rained on?

Let us know if you have a covered backup space. If weather forces a last-minute change, reach out as early as you can and we will work out a new setup or a reschedule together.

Is gratuity included?

No. Tips are in addition to all prices and are always appreciated by the bar team.
