Frequently Asked Questions
You might have questions and we have answers! Below are some of our frequently asked questions. Feel free to email us at info@pourdecisionstxbar.com if you need anything else answered.
Do you provide the alcohol?
No, Texas law requires clients to provide their own alcohol. We'll handle everything else-mixers, bar tools, garnishes, and setup-to make your experience seamless. We'll create a customized shopping list based on your menu and guest count so you'll know exactly what to purchase.
How much is the deposit and when is payment due?
A $300 non-refundable retainer and signed contract are required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due 21 days prior to your event.
Can I customize my cocktail menu?
Absolutely! We love creating custom menus. During your consultation, we'll tailor drinks to fit your theme, season, and preferences.
Do you travel outside of Austin, Texas?
Yes! Pour Decisions TX Bar Co. offers mobile bartending across Texas. We will travel up to 40 miles before mileage fees apply.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we carry general liability insurance, and proof can be provided upon request.
Can you serve mocktails or non-alcoholic drinks?
Of course! We offer full mocktail service for baby showers, corporate events, and family-friendly gatherings.
Is gratuity included in the final price?
A standard gratuity may be added to your invoice depending on the event type. You'll always see this clearly outlined before booking.
How early do you arrive before the event?
We typically arrive 1-2 hours before your event to set up and ensure everything is ready for service.
Can guests leave tips?
Yes! We can set up a tip jar at the bar unless you prefer a gratuity-only service. Just let us know your preference when booking.
What happens if guests bring their own alcohol?
For everyone's safety and compliance, all alcohol must be served by our bartenders. If guests bring their own, we'll kindly ask that it be stored away and served by our team only.
What do you need from me on the event?
We handle the setup so you can focus on enjoying your event! Our team provides the bar and table, ensuring a seamless and stylish setup. All we ask for is easy access to the event space, parking close to the setup area, and access to power if specialty equipment or lighting is reqested.
What happens if I need to cancel?
We understand that plans can change! However, please note that the $300 retainer fee is non-refundable. This fee secured your event date and covers administrative preparation leading up to your booking.
If you need to cancel, please notify us as soon as possible. While the retainer cannot be refunded, we're happy to apply it toward a future event if you reschedule within three months, subject to availability.
Can I extend my event time the day of?
Yes, if our schedule allows , you can extend your event time for an additional hourly rate, which will be added to your final invoice.
