Ro and Devo were absolutely fantastic! This husband-and-wife duo brought such great energy to our wedding—professional, warm, and genuinely fun to be around. Our guests were raving about them, and they kept the drinks flowing smoothly all night long. One of our highlights from our planning process was a cocktail tasting they did at our house in the months leading up to the wedding. It was such a thoughtful and personalized touch that made the whole experience even more special. They were super accommodating and made sure everything ran without a hitch. We felt totally taken care of and couldn't have asked for a better team!

I can’t recommend Ro and her team enough. Ro is incredibly good at her job and will make sure that all of your needs are met for whatever event you’re planning. Her staff is also exemplary. They are personable, knowledgeable, and hardworking. We had multiple event guests comment on the quality of their service. You can’t go wrong with Ro and her team.

BAR RO’D really came through for us- we had our initial bartender pull out a week (!!!!!) before our wedding reception, and these guys single-handedly saved our party. Ro and Devo were the actual sweetest- from curating our nerdy American Dad-themed drinks, to giving priority to the Bride (who 100% needed many drinks that night) and Groom, I could not recommend them more. They were absolutely lovely to work with, and we couldn’t be more grateful :)

I can write an entire essay about how absolutely incredible Bar Ro'D is. From the beginning of our event planning to the execution, the team was incredible. Ro made is so easy and seamless when deciding what we wanted for our party. The communication from start to finish was flawless. They even created two speciality cocktails for our party that were a huge hit. NOW for the bartenders and staff...just WOW. Jordan, Adam, Deborah and Ro really were the ones to make our event a huge success. They were extremely attentive to all the guests, made incredibly delicious cocktails and were all around fun to be around. Not really sure our event would have been what it was without them. The entire set up was flawless, well organized, and functional.
We can't wait to plan our next event with Barr Ro'd. DO NOT sleep on this incredible genius mobile bartending service.
Just beyond incredible!! I am certain we've just created a lifelong friendship because I truly will not host a single party without this crew!

Phenomenal!! We hired Bar Ro'd for our annual corporate holiday party. Ro & her team (Adam + Jordan) were punctual, professional, flexible, and FUN! Ro was so kind and informative. She made the event a total success and knew exactly what our group needed. Our guests were so pleased, and we look forward to working with them every year.

Ro was great to work with to get everything set up perfectly before the party and Adam and Devo were incredible bartenders that significantly exceeded our expectations for my wife's 40th birthday party at our house. They did a masterful job keeping our guests happy throughout the evening, serving their drinks quickly and were a pleasure to be around as well. I received several compliments during the party about how awesome they both were. I highly recommend Bar Ro'd Mobile Bartending and would 1000% use them again for my next party.

Cannot recommend BAR RO'D enough! I planned an event for our members and Ro was nothing short of amazing. She was insightful and knowledgeable about everything - took the time to call and go over everything for our event. Even though it was a smaller scale event, Ro and Devo took great care of everyone. You can truly tell they love what they do. Definitely hire them!

Bar Ro’d’s staff were very helpful in setting up the bar selection, particularly as we were unsure how much alcohol we would need to buy for our wedding. They did a great job handling all of our guests, especially with a medium-large sized wedding (about 90 people). With the busyness of the cocktail hour and reception, the bartenders were wonderful about checking in with my husband and I to make sure we had something to drink at various points in the night. We really appreciated this as we were busy and weren’t always thinking about grabbing something to drink. We highly recommend them for your event!

Ro and her team are absolutely amazing and truly went above and beyond - You must hire them for your event! From their immediate responsiveness upon my initial inquiry, helping assist with ordering/determining what bar menu would be best for the event, and working the full event, I couldn’t have done it without them. They are all professional, prompt, kind and so friendly. This was my first time hosting a large scale event, and Ro, Devo and Tom all were so helpful in noticing other items I never would have thought of outside the bartending services they provided. Tom and Ro both worked tirelessly at the event and all my guests had nothing but positive things to say about them. Cannot wait to work with them again in the future for both personal and professional events!

Ro and Devo were amazing! We booked Bar Ro’d for our outdoor wedding, and they made our night so perfect. They brought exactly the wines, liquors, and mixers we wanted and were available for every question we had up to the event. Their setup was perfect for our decor and all of our guests had such a great time with them! The next time we have an event, we won’t hesitate for a second. Bar Ro’d is the only bar vendor we’ll consider!

It was wonderful having BAR RO'D mobile bartending manage my wife's surprise party. From the planning, to the execution, everything was seamless. The guests were delighted at the quality of the service. The team was super knowledgeable about the drinks and very creative in designing the signature cocktail. The planning was smooth, pricing was transparent. I arranged to supply the alcohol and that option worked very well. Unused liquor/beer/wine was returned to my basement and fridge. Overall, a wonderful experience working with Ro and Tom. Thank you so much both!

Hiring BAR RO'D is the best decision I've ever made and re-hiring them will be the easiest. From the moment I reached out, Ro was extremely responsive and made planning our event so smoothe. She listened and developed a spot on proposal for what we needed. When she and Devo arrived (on time) day of, they went above and beyond to set-up, cleaned-up the space, engaged beautifully with my family/friends/guests, and even spent time cleaning and helping out with the event during slower bar times. Oh, AND, the drinks were delicious. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Ro, Adam, and Cara from BAR RO'D™️ Mobile Bartending & Event Planning at my son's birthday party.
Ro, in particular, made the entire process from beginning to end unbelievably easy. Her responsiveness and accommodation were outstanding. Ro was responsive and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. Whether it was through texting, emailing, or calling, she was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring a seamless experience truly set the stage for the success of the event.
Adam and Cara, the talented bartenders from BAR RO'D™️, added an extra layer of excellence with their fantastic drink creations, friendly demeanor, and efficiency. The blue signature drink they crafted became the highlight of the night, and the overall experience was nothing short of amazing!
Having BAR RO'D™️ Mobile Bartending & Event Planning at the party was undoubtedly the best decision. I wholeheartedly give them a perfect 10 out of 10. Thank you, Ro, Adam, and Cara, for making my son's birthday party an unforgettable and joyous occasion with your exceptional service! Many thanks ~ MiMi

Ro was very quick to respond and made sure everything was set before the event. The day of the event Ro & Devo seamlessly set up and provided amazing service to our guest. They are super friendly, charismatic and all-around great people. It is great to have a vendor that you can rely on to provide their service without having to be concerned or worried during your event. I would highly recommend them for your bartending needs!

I have known Ro and Devo for many many years, and I have always enjoyed working with them! They are super professional, know their stuff -- 100% -- and always create such an awesome experience.
Most recently, Ro and Devo brought a martini-making class to life -- a Christmas present for my dad. They went above and beyond. They brought all of the glassware and mixology items that we needed, along with the alcohol, the ingredients / instructions, and more. This was the first time I felt like I was properly learning how to make martinis -- and Devo was super knowledgeable about the history of each cocktail.
I can't recommend Ro and Devo enough. They are absolutely amazing mixologists as well as people! Definitely hire them for your bartending needs!

Highly Recommend! BAR RO’D surpasses all expectations with top-notch service from planning to execution. Ro is a pro at outlining event needs and planning every service detail — including themed signature cocktails! She ensured that I understood what was needed and that I got exactly what I wanted. The bar setup was impeccable and a HUGE hit for our party with 60+ guests. We were lucky to have Alison and Cara as our bartenders — their service went above and beyond and they did an EXCEPTIONAL job — I’m extremely appreciative of their support and plan to request them in the future as I’ll definitely be returning for more BAR RO’D services! Put simply, the BAR RO’D Team’s professionalism, dedication, and positive energy helped make our event a huge success. Thank you, Ro, Devo, Alison, and Cara!

BAR RO’D did a phenomenal job at our wedding. We were so impressed with Ro Lin and Devo. They exceeded our expectations. They were professional, showed up on time, and made sure our guests had a great time. There was never long waits for drinks and it was easy to see we had experienced bartenders. Throughout the whole planning process, all of our questions were answered and our concerns addressed. They made it very simple and it was one less worry on our big day! We received so many compliments about their service throughout the night and days following. We are so happy with how the night turned out and will be using them for future parties.

I could not have asked for better service and attention to detail. I hired Ro and Devo on fairly short notice for a corporate event and after just one quick phone call everything was taken care of. Set up and service at the event was perfect and the team took care of everything in the background so I could focus on my guests. Highly recommend Bar Ro'd and we already have others in our office asking for their contact info!

Had an excellent experience with Bar Ro'd!! The planning was thorough and smooth. They were on time for set-up and cleaned-up like they were never here. Adam and Kara did an awesome job during the party as our bartenders. They went above and beyond by cleaning up during the evening and working the party to refill drinks. They were flexible when the weather made our plans change and were overstocked to accommodate any changes to guest count. I can not recommend them enough!!!

Let me just say.. if you’re looking for a bartender for any of your events this is the company to hire! My entire wedding party and guests were so pleased with how good the drinks were. They were fast at making them and on point every single time. I would walk up to the bar (bride) and they would already start making my signature drink without saying a word. All of my guests are still talking about how much fun they had at my wedding and I do have to say that Bar Ro’d had a part in that.

Ro and Devo have become family to us. We have loved them from the minute we met them. The first time we used their service was for our 325 guest wedding…and have continued using them over the last 6 years since getting married, and have had them service our more intimate family events for our 3 kids birthday celebrations with around 40 adults and 20 kids. In both settings, both large and small, they have not disappointed us. They are professional and respectful people. If our guests have not needed to be attended to, I have found them taking out our trash, cleaning up, and always asking me, Rebecca, what do YOU need. Although I always tell them nothing but themselves, they continuously show us their genuine love towards my husband and I…and now each of my kids, and that just speaks volumes about the type of people that are behind this business! They truly are amazing people, who make delicious drinks, pour the perfect shots, and give the best experience you will ever need with a mobile bar being brought right through your front door! We love you !

Even from the initial consultation, Ro provided incredibly useful advice and alcohol estimates for our guest count and worked with us to remain within our budget. They are just simply nice people, asking us how we were feeling before our welcome dinner and helped set up before for a perfect event. We could not recommend them enough - seriously use them for your event, you will not regret it!

I used BAR RO'd services for my wedding (Aprrox. 250 guests). I would highly recommend BAR RO'd to anyone planning an event and in need of bartending services. During the months leading up to the event, the vendor was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive to help make the mobile bartending service fit our needs. During the planning process, we set up multiple calls and determined the number of bartenders, bars, quantity/type of alcohol, quantity of mixers/cups/etc., placement of bars, and total cost. The vendor payed attention to detail and was extremely patient and empathetic. Their planning experience helped make the process easy!
During the event, the bartending service was perfect - drinks were flowing, well mixed, and all of the guests really loved the set-up of the bars. The bartenders were very experienced as well - which really made me feel comfortable during the reception. The vendor even had LED lights on the bar that matched our flour arrangements. The mobile bars looked very formal and professional - something that we were looking for in a vendor.
I definitely plan on using BAR RO'd again during my next event. I suggest you do the same!

Ro and Devo are an amazing duo. They offer the best hospitality and fun atmosphere to our company events. Professional, on time, and extremely capable so much so that I never have to think twice about ANYTHING when they are here. They take care of our crew completely and make sure all are having a terrific time. They interact with our team appropriately so that everyone feels welcome and taken care of. We loved the specialty drink that Devo created as it added a fun flare to our event. We look forward to a long partnership!

I can't say enough wonderful things about BAR RO'd. As a full-time professional event planner, I get to work with a lot of suppliers/collaborators in the events industry across the country. It's always a pleasure to uncover one that just "gets it" when it comes to understanding my needs - and Bar Ro'd did more than that. Bar Ro'd is a standout mobile bartending provider that went above and beyond expectations to help make my event successful. Ro is an absolute unicorn and hidden gem - my favorite type of person to work with. She was a true Rockstar and partner during the planning process. She knew her niche well and gave great recommendations. She even went so far as to send me recommendations (with links!) for other local vendors that I needed for my event. I'm so glad I trusted her - she was spot on. She and her team (Shoutout to Devo!) have the perfect mindset for this service. Ro & Devo arrived and got straight to work setting up for the event. Their preparedness, proactive support and pleasant confidence made me feel at ease. Knowing they had it under control allowed me to put my focus on other areas of the event; which I so appreciated. I was also grateful for Devo's whistling skills when I needed to call the crowds attention - as well as the perfectly timed puns that he was happy to share when I needed the laugh/energy boost at the end of my event. They both have a wonderfully enthusiastic "can-do" attitude and they brought a great spirit to the event. (Ha...See what I did there?)
Its a great sign when I am sad for an event to end because I don't want to say goodbye to the vendors. I can't wait for another opportunity to arise where I get to work with them again.

Wow! Bar RO’D is full service, professional and fun! They were professional and easy to work with from first contact to walking out the door!
We utilized their full service for an in home 40th birthday party and to say I was impressed is an understatement. With their help, I got to enjoy a party thrown at my own home for the first time ever. They arrived on time, set up and made sure all of our guests were happy, kept our buffet going, and left after cleaning up at the end of the night. They left me with a clean home and little to do- it was amazing after hosting 60 people!
The cost for having them purchase the alcohol and arrive with it was also spot on- and I didn’t have to run to the store 5 times in preparation for party or spend hours cutting limes, lemons, etc.
I am quite particular and have an event planning background which comes with high standards- from here on out, no party at my home will be without Bar RO’D!
They would be well suited for any event, including a wedding.

We had an amazing experience with BAR RO’D Mobile Bartending for our wedding last year! We were originally thinking of going the DIY bar style for the wedding, but after speaking with Ro, we knew we could not miss out on this superb service. We were originally going to attempt to purchase all the alcohol, transport the ice, create cocktails, etc. but Ro took care of all of that. She even used the cocktail napkins I had gotten ahead of myself purchasing so that they wouldn’t go to waste.
Ro was quick to respond to any inquiries, very knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with through the whole experience. During the planning phase, Ro thought about every little detail and it meant so much that she offered to additionally purchase and serve our specialty sodas: Inka Cola and Cheerwine because we wanted to incorporate the sodas that represented some of our backgrounds.
On the day of the wedding, Ro and Devo were excellent- I had several of my guests compliment the delicious drinks they were serving up and also how much they enjoyed the professional, friendly customer service Ro and Devo brought to the table. We strongly recommend their services as they truly will take charge of all things drink-related. Truly, there is enough to worry about during a wedding but trusting Bar Ro was one of our best decisions

I manage a large waterfront venue, that is reputable but quirky. With three floors and 76,000 square feet, the venue (and I) demand vendors arrive with a formulated plan and are ready to hustle from start to stop, all while delivering exceptional service. BAR RO'D doesn't just exceed my expectations, they blow my mind with their efficiency, professionalism, and inexplicable charm. Their presentation is flawless and always reflects their client's vision. They are expert mixologists, (yes, delicious drinks) with flawless service. The last time Ro and Devo pulled up to my venue, I started applauding before they were out of their vehicle because their mere arrival assured a successful night. I love knowing like-minded service professionals that pour their heart and soul into their work and will continue to applaud Ro, Devo, and their team on every encounter.

Ro & Devo with BAR RO’D did an INCREDIBLE job bartending at my wedding in October. Ro was always responsive and very helpful during the whole pre planning process. She listened to what I wanted and helped me figure out ways to stay within the budget I had. The day of the event her and Devo were on time, professional and very friendly. Their mobile bar was beautiful and their custom sign they helped make made it feel more a part of the décor! I never saw a line at the bar and never had to worry about them once the whole day which eased my mind knowing they had their part taken care of!
I would without a doubt recommend BAR RO’D for your event! Thank you for helping make our day so wonderful!!!

Adam, Cara, Trang ensure safety was our #1 priority when it comes to serving our guests but also promoting a fun atmosphere. They took on other roles at our event throughout the night to ensure our event was running smoothly.
We couldn't have asked for a better team! 10 out of 10! They are more than just a bar service, we consider them family.

WOW WOW WOW is all I can say. What a relief not to have to buy and bring your own alcohol for the wedding (or for any event for that matter). They were so professional, the set up was classy and they knew what they were doing. For someone that has no idea about alcohol and what to buy and bring, they are experienced and knew what people would like and how much they would drink from experience. Everyone enjoyed the night and it was one less thing to worry about. I would definitely use them in the future for any event I may have. Hats off to to Bar Ro'd mobile bartending.

If you asked me for an appropriate accolade to describe my client experience regarding BAR RO'D™️ I would say either “outstanding or amazing!” Owners Ro Lin and Devo Granofsky could not have been more accommodating, and their Mobile Bar service was perfection. We were celebrating our 40th high school reunion at a County Police Association Hall and needed bar services to support 150 classmates. I contacted Ro Lin through the Thumbtack website and from Day-1 what should have been a typical client and vendor experience instead felt like a collaboration. Ro Lin was so helpful offering recommendations to me, a complete novice party bar service planner. She helped me determine, what drinks to order based on what was popular for the DC Metro Area, particularly our geographical area of Manassas, VA. She also provided guidance with quantity, individual drink costs and bar decoration options. All of which turned out to be spot on for our event. Did I mention accommodating a 24-hour prior to the event complete change in the type of bar service, delivered flawlessly? The night of our reunion, you could not ask for a more professional and friendly staff. Team Bar Ro’D setup two bars expertly using a bar design that Ro Lin helped me create and that fit perfectly with the decorations our Reunion Committee had already put up for the event. Needless to say, the event went off without a hitch, thanks directly in part to Bar Ro’D! I cannot begin to tell you how many compliments I received from classmates about the quality of their drinks as well as the service. I will end this review with a sincere “thank you” to Ro Lin and Devo, and also by stating the only Mobile Bar service at any future events that I am in charge of planning or recommending to my friends and family, will be BAR RO'D™️

From start to finish the professionalism and quality of service is stellar. Ro called before the event to review details and everything was perfectly executed. No detail was forgotten including a signature cocktail/mocktail for the kids. My guests were thoroughly impressed! Thank you BAR RO’D for another amazing experience!

Hire Bar’od immediately! Stop your search - you will NOT find a better vendor. From beginning to end, Ro provided excellent service. She is amazing at her job, and her 5-star humor, kindness, and personality is icing on the cake. My husband and I absolutely loved having Ro, Devo, and Cedric serve drinks at the wedding. Our guests raves about the taste and quality of the liquor. During our consultation phone call, Ro expertly recommended what types of drinks and the quantities that would be appropriate for a wedding of our size — her estimate was spot on. We could not have pulled our wedding together without her, and we most definitely will be hiding Bar’od again for any of our bartending needs. Thanks Ro and team!!!

We hired Bar Ro’d for our engagement party and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Ro and Devo’s professionalism and flexibility are unmatched. We worked with them to create signature cocktails that were absolutely delicious and had me (and everyone else) coming back to the bar drink after drink. We had our event start a little late because of a party that was still going on before ours, and Bar Ro’d was flexible to stay a bit later. I am absolutely happy with them and will always come back to them in the future (and totally recommend them for awesome bartending!!)

I just smile and I’m so so happy I hired them! The best!!!!!!

BAR RO’D is a top-notch mobile bartending service! They provided bartending services for my corporate July 4th rooftop event for 200 people. This was a last minute booking and they were more than happy to take it and I am glad that they did. I’d never used a mobile bartending service before, so I didn’t know what to expect; however, Ro and Devo - the owners and their team – Adam and Tom did not disappoint. When they arrived, I showed them where they needed to set up and they were off to the races. They are professional, courtesy and they provide an outstanding customer experience, and of course they are amazing mixologists. Our guests were having such a great time, that we asked them to stay an additional hour and Ro with a smile on her face - said absolutely! They really saved me because my guests were not ready to leave yet. They left the bar area spotless. I will be a client for life! I would highly recommend them!

Our venue was BYOB, and we did NOT want to deal with that. Bar RO'D brought extra bars, every bit of alcohol and mixers, extra glassware, and spent probably too long on the phone with me trying to pick signature cocktails (we were very indecisive). Everyone was so nice, was remembering what people were drinking, and they even came over to me and my husband multiple times during dinner to see if we needed anything. Oh and the signature cocktails were INCREDIBLE. You can tell they love their job, and I loved working with them.

What can I say but WOW! Ro and each and every member her team (including Devo, Adam, Alison, and Debrah) truly went above and beyond for our event this past weekend, in more ways than one. Everyone was so wonderful and easy to work with, super friendly and gregarious (just exactly the sort of fun and positive energy you want at an event!), executed everything we asked of them to a tee (including a list of five pretty complicated specialty cocktails)... and even beyond that, throughout the night they often proactively asked about and worked on things that we honestly wouldn't have even thought of ourselves, but that ended up being SO helpful. They were seriously so incredible, my husband and I couldn't stop talking about how great they were. I feel like they took our event from an 8 to 10!
My husband and I hired Bar Ro'd for bartending and food service for our formal anniversary party/vow renewal with approximately 70 guests. We coordinated the event ourselves with no planner or coordinator or caterer. We cooked ourselves, had family members cook, and got items from several different restaurants—putting all of it together ourselves—and to be honest, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into doing it this way. Up until the moment Bar Ro'd arrived, it was looking like things might be headed for disaster... but Bar Ro'd totally saved the day. They helped with EVERYTHING, well beyond what we had imagined when hiring them, and the dinner (passed hors d'oeuvres then a buffet) ended up going *perfectly.*
I feel like I haven't focused enough on the "bar" part yet, given that's their specialty—the bar was amazing. My husband and I wanted the drink menu for this event to have all of our favorite cocktails: a pomegranate mojito, a Moscow mule, a boulevardier, a strawberry margarita, and a gin fizz with fresh rosemary and egg white. Bar Ro'd was totally game for this menu from the start, provided everything we needed, and made each of the cocktails beautifully throughout the night. The bar was a HIT! The actual physical bar itself, actually, was also a hit — the custom bar front panel looked amazing, and even more so when the sun set and it lit up!
All in all, hiring Bar Ro'd was one of the absolute best decisions we made for this event. And, like, we made a lot of great decisions—it was a really cool event ;) But seriously, Bar Ro'd took it to another level. I would hire them again in a heartbeat, and I will be recommending them to anyone and everyone looking for bar services (or event staffing in general). Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Ro, Devo, Adam, Alison, and Debrah — you were all amazing, my husband and I are incredibly grateful!

Bar Ro’d did an awesome job at my daughter’s bridal shower. Cara and Jaime were exceptionally professional! It was great to just spend time with my guests and not worry about replenishing the bar myself. Will definitely use them again!

Ro & her team were the integral key to the success of our event! We had a gala with over 120 guests and we hired Bar Ro'd to do the bartending and general event service. Ro & her team made sure that the event went smoothly with the bartendering, event set up, food service, and event clean up. Her team was punctual, polite, and professional. Most of all, they had such a great reputation with our venue that we had no worries about how smoothly things were going to go. we are DEFINITELY using Bar Ro'd's services again for our future events!!!!

If you read only the first line, just know you MUST HIRE THEM.
There is so much to say about how amazing Ro, Devo, and their business are, so I will try to keep it short. Reaching out and connecting with Ro was so easy. We started talking over text and some phone calls to understand my needs for bartending an engagement party, even including pictures and so much great info! The expertise that Ro brings to the table is unmatched, down to the recommendations of using small water bottles instead of large! Who would have thought!!! Ro and I went over the details for a few weeks, tweaking the services that I wanted, and was so helpful in figuring out what I needed. There are so many reasons to hire Bar RO’D, but the most significant to me was actually Ro and Devo themselves. Not only are they experienced bartenders, but they have quite literally the best personalities ever. They were more than just bartenders--they were part of our party. More so, they were actually the backbone of our event. They came exactly on time, set up their beautiful bar, which I may add is SO CLEAN. As someone who always worries about cleanliness, this was key. They brought lined coolers with clean and sorted ice. They were constantly wiping down the bar and tables. It truly could not have been more clean and safe. They even designed a drink menu with me and had them on the tables! As the host, I was focused on many other things. They handled everything, even helping us set up a little self serve bar when they left. I scheduled 4 hours of bartending, but honestly I would recommend 6 hours if you are throwing a longer party. Ro and Devo are some of the best people I have had the pleasure of meeting. I was over at the bar talking to them for so long, and I barely even drink!!!
In summary, this company is very well priced, extremely helpful in determining what you need and not overcharging you. They do absolutely everything, you just simply need to open the door and let them in! Without them, I honestly would have had to bartend myself, and that would have been terrible. Again, I cannot emphasize enough that Ro and Devo themselves are the life of the party, and engage with your guests and truly make everyone feel comfortable!
I know I will be using them always and forever, and I hope everyone who sees this does also.
