About this vendor
Airstream Mobile Bar Serving All of West Michigan
Our renovated 1971 Airstream Land Yacht mobile bar shed its shiny sheen and traded its camping gear for cocktail glasses in 2019. Its face-lift took more than eight months, with some talented folks stripping her down to the frame before building her up again – big and black and better than ever. The Black Barrel Bar is now used to enhance and elevate a traditional catered bar. Invite us to your corporate event, fundraiser, birthday party, wedding nuptials, neighborhood gathering – or any other celebration that requires good fun.

The team at Black Barrel Bar was so amazing! Gwen was so responsive and everyone loved it on the day of our wedding, we couldn’t have been happier!
Black Barrel Bar was incredible at our wedding. They were very professional, had great drinks, and the uniqueness to the "bar" is a talking point about our wedding in and of itself.
I would HIGHLY recommend the Black Barrel Bar.

Thank you, Tyler! It was our pleasure serving you and Morgan. Grateful you chose us to be part of your celebration.
We had such a wonderful experience working with Black Barrel Bar. They were so kind in their emails and then in person on the day of our wedding. Having kind, experienced, and reliable vendors can really make your wedding day, and I felt so confident and happy with them.
We loved the unique appearance of their vintage Airstream, and our guests loved it too. The drinks themselves were also delicious. I genuinely loved my bride's drink too (the bee's knees). They had also worked with or venue many times before, which made me that much more comfortable. Our venue loves them too.
They were so kind and attentive throughout our entire wedding day. They even gave me a tutorial on how to pop and spray champagne, they quickly filled our champagne tower, and they brought us our bride and groom's drink as soon as we sat down with our dinner. I thought that was so nice and thoughtful of them.
I was very pleased with their menu options. I felt like we had a great assortment of beverages for our guests that we actually wanted to drink. Their prices were right in line with our tight budget, and making payments for our wedding was easy. We simply mailed a check.
I highly recommend working with them for your wedding or event!

Any questions?
I can't even put into words how much we loved having Black Barrel Bar at our wedding. The owner and the 2 bartenders we had were SO NICE! The drinks were amazing, all our guest thought it was the coolest thing ever. This was one of the things I was most looking forward to at our wedding and they did not disappoint at all! So easy to work with in the months prior picking out drinks, getting the timeline set up. Everything was so smooth! Thank you again!

Thank you, Jehanna and Ben! Loved getting creative with a Pomegranate Moscow Mule and Freddie’s Garden! Appreciate you both and wish you well in your journey together.
Truly amazing! The customer service was great, timely responses, answered all my questions and helped provide drink ideas when we didnt have any! The servive at the wedding was great, while they had only 2-3 people working there wasnt ever that big of a line! The cocktails were great and the selection of beer and wine to pick from was awesome. We felt their prices were good for the services provided and the packages were great as they could be modified if desired!

Thank you, Grant and Emily! Working with you was a breeze, and we so appreciate the opportunity. We wish you well as you build your life and your home together!
I cannot say enough good things about Gwen and the Black Barrel Bar! Gwen was amazing to work with and our guests absolutely loved the Airstream trailer. They customized the bar menu to exactly what we wanted and were incredibly responsive to questions and requests. If you're thinking about hiring the Black Barrel Bar, I highly recommend them!

Sara, you were a dream. Thank you for this very kind review and for choosing us to help celebrate this next step in your journey. We wish you and Jeremy all the very best in this world!
Black Barrel Bar was a dream to work with. My couple had to re-plan their wedding in a matter of weeks during a pandemic, and many vendors had to be re-booked at the new location. Black Barrel helped make the booking process as easy as possible with their awesome packages to choose from, but then didn't hesitate to customize to make the package just right for the bride and groom. As a planner, they made my job easy and were so easy to work with from logistical planning to day-of set up and execution. And not only does their airstream look amazing, but the whole staff is professional and kind. Can't wait to work with them again!
Black Barrel Bar was quick to communicate and a much needed addition to our backyard wedding. The bartender was a hit with all the guests and we still get comments from guests about how much they enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this option for a number of reasons!
1. the package includes everything so it takes multiple details off of planning
2. the bar is incredibly cute and adds a great aesthetic touch to your wedding
3. the company is easy to work with
4. for a backyard wedding I did a lot of price checking and this option was surprisingly affordable
