David Sutka
Owner/Bartender
I have been behind the bar for years – not just in the USA but also in Cyprus and the Czech Republic. I have gained experience in many bars and venues, where I mastered the craft of bartending and, more importantly, learned how to treat every guest with care. I am reliable, funny, and always wear a smile. I love my work, enjoy creating new drinks, and entertaining people – and that’s exactly what gives my mobile bar its special spark.
Radka Chmelinová
Bartender/Graphic designer
I gained bar experience in the Czech Republic, Cyprus, and the USA. I have an amazing eye for design and detail – I’m in charge of the bar’s visual look, cocktail menus, flyers, and overall event styling. I’m meticulous, creative, and can bring your ideas to life – whether it’s graphics or a perfectly mixed cocktail (yes, I can do that too!). Together with my clients, I create a mobile bar experience that’s not just about drinks – it’s about memories.
