BYOB Bartender Singapore — Bring Your Own Bottles Mobile Bar

Alcohol is the single largest line item at most Singapore events, and venue mark-ups make it worse. Buy your own bottles at duty-free or supermarket prices, and pay us only for the bartending. There is no corkage, no surcharge and no minimum spend on our side.

How BYOB works, step by step

Tell us your guest count, event length and the kind of drinks you enjoy. We send back a shopping list — exact bottles, mixers, juice and ice quantities. You buy them. On the day we arrive with all tools and glass logistics and build the menu around what is on your counter.

What to buy for 30 guests

As a rough planning figure, allow around two to three drinks per guest for the first hour and one to two per hour after. A 700ml bottle yields roughly 14 cocktails at a 50ml pour, so 30 guests over three hours typically needs four to six bottles of spirits plus mixers, and around two bags of ice per hour.

BYOB versus full bar service

With BYOB you pay wholesale or duty-free prices and keep whatever is unopened. With full procurement we handle sourcing and delivery for a $150 fee, which is worth it when you are short on time or the list is long. Either way, our bartending rate is identical.

Where BYOB is allowed

Homes, condo function rooms, chalets and private charters are almost always fine. Hotels and some event venues charge corkage or restrict outside alcohol — check your venue contract before you shop, and we can advise on what usually gets approved.

Licensing when you supply the drinks

No liquor licence is required when alcohol is served free of charge to your own private guests. You are not selling drinks, so the event stays a private gathering under Singapore rules. Ticketed events are different — talk to us first.

What we still bring

Shakers, strainers, jiggers, tongs and the full mixology kit, printed menu cards, setup and pack-down, and professional bartenders. Glassware racks, ice, syrups, citrus wheels and a bar table can be added at published rates.

Verified feedback from couples, corporate hosts and private party planners we have poured for across Singapore.

Jun and his team was incredible! We held our wedding at Capella where he served our favorite cocktails throughout and we also had an afterparty there, and multiple people came up to us to praise the quality of the cocktails and Jun's service. Highly recommend Jun for your wedding or other events.

Jun was amazing! Got him for my wedding and he had everyone always topped up without asking! I loved that I can provide all the alcohol and juices so that it doesn't get too pricey. He even created a cocktail with my favourite fruit just for the occasion. Very professional and importantly the drinks were amazing!

Jun and his bartender, Adam, were great! They facilitate the cocktail menu preparation according to your preferences, shopping and came early to set up and organize! I was able to mingle and all the guests enjoyed nice cocktails or mocktails! Very easygoing and friendly!

We had an absolute best experience with Jun. He served at a ladies birthday party for 4 hours and went above and beyond expectations. His cocktails and mocktails were absolutely perfect — beautifully made, refreshing and customized for everyone's liking. Truly professional.

Jun was amazing! He helped with curating the menu for my 30th birthday and had a whole lot of helpful tips throughout the planning phase. He makes amazingly tasty cocktails that look good and taste great too! 10/10 bartender, definitely recommend!
