John is an exceptional bartender. His professionalism, knowledge, and ease of handling just about anything is unmatched. He's funny -- can make just about anything you ask and can create the most amazing drinks on the fly. I would 100% recommend him for any and all events and can say confidently that anyone who has the privilege of having him as a bartender is more than lucky. Truly.

Aubrey Higham
Owner / Bartender
Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada now calling Northern Nevada home with my beautiful family and two crazy cats. With 12 years of experience behind the bar I’ve built a strong passion for the craft. From nightclubs to sports bars and restaurants, I’m always continuing to learn new techniques and expand cocktail knowledge. Transitioning into private events has been such a blessing and we take pride and care in curating each and every event. “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
John Allred
Owner / Bartender
Started as a Bar Back on the Las Vegas strip, Bar Back for 2 years at Top Golf’s Premier venue on the strip, as well as at Park MGM resorts. While being a Bar Back I was accepted into the union bar pour class culinary school. I attended this 6 month schooling while being a bar back at 2 heavily busy properties sometimes doing large events with up to 1000 people. After finishing the schooling I was approved to become a bartender, now I have been craft bartending for 5 years and currently working right here in Reno. My wife and I have a passion for what we do, we would love to customize something special for your wedding and make it seamless. Let us make your cocktails, so you can both make the memories.
