Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Based in Beautiful Ashtabula, we are Northeast Ohio's premier mobile bartending service. While we were raised close to the city of Cleveland and have remained residents of Ashtabula county, our passion for the country and city life have merged to create a perfect match. A lot of thought and creativity combined allowed us to realize one definite certainty- the similarity between the city and country lifestyle, is the shared love of a great tasting cocktail! To house our rustic cocktail creations, along our journey, we purchased vintage horse trailers/ trucks and converted them into your hottest bartending hotspot. Our goal was to emphasize the charm of wooden surfaces with flair of rustic decor. After we labored with love, we are excited to introduce " The Thirsty Filly". As 20223 brings new events, weddings, birthdays, and celebrations, we are prepared to walk alongside you at your next memorable moment.

Together my mom and I started this amazing mobile bar business in late 2019. Combined we have spent over 35 years in the service industry. During my time in the industry I was given the amazing opportunity to learn the true science behind making craft cocktails all across the country. For the longest time my mom and I have always wanted to work together. The day finally came when we decided to create a mobile cocktail bar. We love creating, being original, and truly making each event shine with rustic decor and craft cocktails. We invite your to learn more about our bar.

Thirsty Filly is top notch! The drinks are customized, decor is on point, and the service is unmatched. We’ve loved them so much we’ve used them for multiple events. Every event Greg has been very attentive to our needs and makes sure we’re all aware of what we’re getting where. We love TF and can’t wait to have them back! If you’re looking for amazing drinks with professional service, this is it.

We highly recommend Thirsty Filly to anyone looking for a professional bar service for an event! We used them for our wedding at Basil Place and Gregory and his team were awesome! We had so much fun with the tasting and the variety of options they offer! Gregory was great with helping us customize our drink options to work for us. The drinks were absolutely delicious and we heard nothing but good things from our guests! I love that they pre-make the signature drinks so there is never a line at the bar so people could spend more time enjoying the wedding rather than standing in line waiting for drinks!
The entire process with Thirsty Filly was stress free and we are so happy we chose them to help us celebrate our special day!

The Thirsty Filly was great for our wedding. Communication was easy and done in a timely manner. We chose the truck for our bar and the guests loved it. The signature drinks (included in package) were amazing. We had a tasting beforehand which I thought was super helpful and fun.
At the end of the night they did leave their garbage behind the bar for us to take to the dumpster. I am not sure if they didn’t know where to put it (they had worked there before) or if someone told them to do that but my family members did have to carry it to the dumpster afterwards.
Overall I would 100% recommend the Thirsty Filly!

We had an amazing experience with The Thirsty Filly at our wedding! From the start, Gregory was incredibly helpful, guiding us through the process and ensuring that everything went smoothly. His expertise and attention to detail made a significant difference in our planning.
The creative signature cocktails were a huge hit, receiving countless compliments from our guests. Each drink was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, adding a special touch to our celebration.
One of the standout features was the tap truck, which provided an outdoor bar experience that was both unique and memorable. Many guests remarked on how much they loved this setup, making it a fun focal point of the evening.
Overall, The Thirsty Filly exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend them for any event. Their exceptional service and innovative offerings truly made our wedding unforgettable!

First and foremost, one of the most intimidating things in wedding planning is the bar. Next to the venue, this is likely your number two biggest expense. So much goes into this: getting the alcohol, the bartender, the soda, the mixers, the cups, the garnishes, all while thinking holy crap there’s so much I need and nothing makes sense.. Scouring for hours to try to find the right bar option for our wedding with all this in mind, we stumbled upon the Thirsty Filly. Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. Their set up is just like their pictures depict, except better when your own personal elements are incorporated. And the options for multiple signature, unique cocktails is so fantastic. They handle everything, the bar order, soda is included, garnishes included, decorations, mixers, garnished, and the bartenders themselves. They take all of the stress out of it. In terms of service? Our guest count was right at 100. We had everyone go straight into cocktail hour the second the ceremony ended. The bartenders started pre-making, one by one, multiple glasses of each signature cocktail during the ceremony, so when 100 people naturally stormed bar, they flew through the line. They continued to restock the cocktails all night. So unless you had a specific request, which they are incredibly accommodating and so happy to help, you could walk up at any moment, grab a signature cocktail with nothing more than a smile, and walk away, with a new one already being mixed to fill its place. Finally, the main reason you’re reading this, how are the drinks? If the Blood Orange Mule is an option, get it. It will rock your world and be an absolute hit. We had four signature cocktails, and they were so popular that we barely made a dent into the beer and seltzers we purchased. And oh my goodness are these puppies strong. Not offensively strong, just so well made and a genuine cocktail you’d get at any fancy bar. One Vanilla Ginger Old fashioned in your guests and your dance floor will come to life. The Thirsty Filly is everything you want from a bar at your wedding. So good to work with, the friendliest bartenders, punctual, transparent, communicative. They’ve mastered their craft and will be recommend to everyone we know. Worth every penny.

We loved having Thirsty Filly at our June wedding! Everyone raved about how much they loved our signature cocktails. I picked the Blood Orange Margarita, he picked a Kentucky Mule, and we picked the Blueberry Vodka Lemonade for guests. Greg and his team was super accommodating to our requests of being "bar tenders" for a song and we had a blast entertaining our guests! Highly recommend Thirsty Filly!

We had the pleasure of hiring The Thirsty Filly for our annual fundraiser, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. Gregory was an absolute delight to work with—always responsive, proactive, and dedicated to making this aspect of our event as smooth as possible. He even made the tasting experience fun and engaging, offering thoughtful recommendations tailored to our guests' preferences.
The cocktails were beautifully crafted, adding a unique flair to our event, and the bar setup itself created an inviting atmosphere that enhanced the overall experience. We received countless compliments from our guests, both during and after the event, praising the exceptional quality and service provided by Gregory and his team.
Thank you, The Thirsty Filly, for helping us create such a memorable and wonderful experience!

We hired Thirsty Filly for our backyard wedding reception and they did not disappoint! The planning process was very easy and the cocktail tasting was so fun! The drinks were delicious and the service was amazing. The entire Thirsty Filly team was professional and helpful. All of our guests were commenting about how cute the mobile bar was, how delicious the drinks were, and how helpful and friendly the staff were. 10/10 would recommend Thirsty Filly!

We booked The Thirsty Filly for our wedding on June 8th this year and they were absolutely wonderful! All of our guests loved the mobile bar, and multiple people told us how great the bartenders and drinks were! The copper blue mobile bar looked perfect at our outdoor reception and our signature drinks were a huge hit. The whole process was so smooth and easy and we loved getting to meet with them prior and try some drinks out for our signature drinks. We are so glad we chose to go with them for our day!!

We hired The Thirsty Filly for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our special day! From start to finish, their service was amazing. The bartenders were professional, friendly, and incredibly skilled, making every guest feel welcome and well taken care of.
The drink menu they created with our speciality drinks was outstanding, with a perfect mix of classic cocktails and unique, custom creations that reflected our tastes. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the quality and variety of the drinks. The bartenders' expertise was impressive and their flair for mixology added an entertaining element to the evening.
What truly set The Thirsty Filly apart was their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. They worked seamlessly with our venue and other vendors, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. Their setup was stylish and complemented our wedding theme beautifully. The truck was such a hit at our wedding and everyone raved about it.
Overall, The Thirsty Filly went above and beyond to make our wedding reception unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for better service, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch bartender service for their event. Gregory is fantastic and an amazing communicator through it all. Customizing drink orders to fit all guest needs to just the amazing service he provides at the time of your big day. Cheers to his fantastic team!

We had the Thirst Filly for our daughter’s welcome party for her wedding at our lake house. They were beyond exceptional. Our original tap truck vendor canceled two days before our event due to engine issues. Gregory swooped in and rescued the day!
Their website contract and menu were easy to use, but even more importantly he answered the phone and helped get us quickly organized. Customer Service was only topped by the bar presentation and the amazing upscale craft cocktails. He had an exceptional choice of cocktail options and catered to our crowd and the bar tender boxed up our left overs. We used the blue and gold horse trailer and it was so well done to the last detail including flowers lighting and signage. We had nothing but raves about the whole experience. Would love to have another event to use them !!!

Greg walked us through the process, communicated frequently with us, and was a huge hit - everyone loved the quaint little horse trailer-turned-mobile bar!

The Thirsty Filly was incredible to work with throughout our entire wedding process! Gregory is so passionate about what he does and it shows, he is very communicative and has an answer to every question. He and his team are there on your big day to take stress off of your plate and reassure you that the bar will be top notch!
The handcrafted cocktails are soo deliciously well-made (it was difficult to pick which ones we wanted because we loved every single one at our tasting!) The mobile bar was a statement piece at our reception and people loved it (we had the original tan bar). There also was NEVER a line that formed at the bar which so many people were complimentary of!
We really had an amazing experience with Thirsty Filly. It is a unique, comprehensive bar service and we are so thankful for Greg and his team! We will not hesitate to use them in the future and continue recommending them to others! :)

Gregory And his team are beyond first class. All of our interaction, cocktail tasting, and the big day went smooth as silk due to his incredible communication skills. We knew we didn’t have to worry one bit the day of - and peace of mind is priceless. The cocktails blew everyone away, not only were they excellent, they were prepared quickly and there was never a line— even with 250 heavy drinkers. The charm of their decor, focusing on details and craftsmanship truly made the night magical. Would highly recommend.

Cannot recommend Gregory and Thirsty Filly enough!!! What an incredible service all around. Excellent Communication from the beginning and throughout. The cocktail tasting prior to our wedding was so cool and special. It was difficult picking the 3 cocktails because they’re ALL delicious!! Leading up to the wedding, everything was smooth and straightforward. And then the day off - wow! All of our guests commented on how beautiful the bar was, how tasty the cocktails were and what excellent service was provided - there were no lines throughout the night! Truly the highlight of our wedding!! We loved taking photos in the bar and was such a unique experience for all.
Gregory has truly thought of everything and provides such exceptional service. Loved working with him and his team and cannot speak more highly of this service.
Do not hesitate and book them now!!

WOW! JUST WOW! From the first phone call months in advance to the last drink of the night we were blown away! Gregory truly loves what he is doing and you can tell he has built this business with the customer in mind. Our cocktail tasting was amazing and it was hard to pick our favorites because we loved all of the options. All of our guests are still talking about how beautiful and tasty the bar drinks and bar were! We could not have asked for a better team! Also I highly recommend their sister company Ash and Still which is a cigar bar and lounge. It made for amazing photos and every guest said they had never been to a wedding that had something so cool! We would recommend Thirsty Filly any day and can't wait until we have another bar worthy event! :)

The Thirsty Filly did a wonderful job hosting our bar service at our wedding last weekend. Gregory was easy to work with and very responsive to our questions during the planning process leading up to our wedding. The taps made it incredibly easy and fast for our guests to receive their drinks in an orderly and timely manner. The drinks were perfectly mixed and garnished. The bar fit seamlessly into our theme. The bar tenders were very friendly and easy to work with. They even made friends with my ring bearer and entertained him by continuously filling waters so he could deliver them endlessly to every guest at our event! Thank you for making this big part of our day stress free and easy!

Definitely would HIGHLY recommend Gregory and his team as your bar service at your wedding. He made everything an absolute breeze for me and I didn’t have to worry at all about anything. Gregory stayed in contact with us during the entire process. The white mobile bar matched our national park theme perfectly! The decor that is provided also was just such a great vibe. Gregory provided all cocktail necessities and also handled the liquor order (which was such a huge help). Do yourself a favor and hire The Thirsty Filly for your wedding reception. You absolutely will not regret it! I want to thank the bartenders at my event and Gregory for the best cocktail service ever!

My husband and I used The Thirsty Filly (blue bar) for our barn wedding on 6/25/22 and it was amazing! From the very beginning, working with Greg was great and you can tell he really loves what he does.
Over a month after our event, our guests are still talking about how amazing the signature drinks were. We chose the Pomegranate Mule, Blackberry Vanilla Orange Bourbon, and the Key Lime Crumble for our signature cocktails and also had beer and sangria on tap. Not only are the drinks delicious, but the service is top notch and the bar itself is truly unique and beautiful.
We highly recommend hiring The Thirsty Filly for any of your events, they are the best around!

Do not hesitate! Book The Thirsty Filly today!
This vendor hands down was a hit at our wedding. I have experienced other bar cart services at other weddings and by far Thirsty Filly has the best drinks, service, and look. All my guests continued to come up to me at the wedding and tell me how great their drinks were Then after the wedding continued to rave about the drinks and service!
Greg and the Thirsty Filly crew are professional,fun, artistic, and the drinks are hands down amazing. If you want a fun experience for your guests and want a beautiful bar cart experience, look no further than this group. They will be one of the vendors of the night that myself, my husband, and our guests will remember and talk about into the years ahead.
The custom drinks we had at our wedding were
- Orange, blackberry, vanilla bourbon
- pomegranate mule
- blueberry rum lemonade
They also provide local drinks from the tap such as beers and sangrias.
Take advantage of their availability now because they will book up fast!!!

We had the Thirsty Filly for our outdoor wedding of 150 people and they were absolutely AMAZING! Our guests loved the custom cocktails we chose and also the flexibility to order anything else they wanted from the bar. Thirsty Filly worked so quickly and none of our guests had to wait in a long line to get drinks. The beautiful decorations that Thirsty Filly had out next to their bar were beautiful and truly added so much to our venue! Our guests keep telling us how much they loved the bar and we could not be happier overall!
Not only was The Thirsty Filly team wonderful on wedding day but leading up to it as well! It was a fun and easy experience to work with them and they always answered all of our questions and were so friendly! We would recommend Thirsty Filly a million times over!

Absolutely cannot recommend a mobile bar more than Filly. They went above and beyond to make our day great despite obstacles with other vendors. Every minute of the day they ensured our drinks were full, guests were happy, and everything was properly stocked. They fully understand what good service means and were friendly and engaging the entire evening despite running their heads off getting hand made drinks ready for over 200 guests.
I know several at the event had nothing but high regard for Greg and his crew. Anyone having a outdoor wedding should absolutely consider Thirsty Filly.

As an event planner, my couples are always asking me for their recommendations for the best vendors to make their events unique. I hadn't yet had the opportunity to work with Greg, but I researched him heavily before making the recommendation to my couple. They made the excellent decision to book The Thirsty Filly, and I am so glad they did. Greg and his staff (and I'm blanking on her name, but she was wonderful as well!) were the absolute best. From all of the communication to their arrival and setup on the day to the top notch bar service, they couldn't have been better. Every guest was greeted each time they approached and the repeat guests were given their repeat drink without needing to say what it was. Their setup was very aesthetically pleasing and they were so gracious to work out of the passthrough from the kitchen at the venue. I truly look forward to the next wedding that I can refer them to! If you book with them, I can guarantee that your bar experience will be excellent!

Gregory and The Thirsty Filly were great to work with for our reception held at The Running Horse Farm! He was very quick to respond to questions and made sure that we had everything covered. His custom cocktails were AMAZING! I highly recommend working with The Thirsty Filly for your wedding!

We were so thrilled to find out about The Thirsty Filly when we were planning an outdoor Day After the Wedding Party for 125 guests. We were hooked when we had a tasting of all the delicious craft cocktails and beers. Gregory and his team arrived on time, selected the perfect location to set up the vintage truck and the party started. The drinks were delicious, the service was friendly and excellent and our guests had a wonderful time. We highly recommend The Thirsty Filly and can’t wait to hire them for another event.

So our event was unique. We hired the Thirsty Filly for my wife's 50th birthday party. We wanted someone to care for our guests and did not want to worry about tending or getting the drinks for the party. Gregory was so helpful in walking me through the process and helping me get what we needed for the party. When it came to the night of the event, it was a little rainy and cold. Chris and the whole team met it head on with a smile. They served cold drinks and were able to engage with our party goers and make the truck just an extension of the party. I would highly recommend the whole team and would encourage anyone curious to take the plunge and ride with the Filly!

Would recommend Gregory and his team to every couple out there. Such a unique idea with great execution. They provide everything for you, and will even order your alcohol so you don't have to! The drinks are so refreshing and fun, and it was definitely one of the most talked about features of our wedding. Highly recommend to everyone!

There are not enough positive adjectives I can use to describe our experience with Greg / Thirsty Filly!! Greg was great to communicate with during the entire process prior to the event. He's prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous, as well as professional and sincere. We rented the blue bar and it was exquisite! Our guests were very impressed and are still talking about our party and the bar. The drinks were amazing and so unique. Greg and his staff are A++++ in our eyes and we WILL hire them for our next big event. Thank you-Greg-for making our party one for the books! :)

Had The Thirsty Filly bartend our wedding at the Running Horse Farm last Friday. 10/10 would recommend them! We chose to have the dark blue horse trailer and it did not disappoint! Loved it so much we took pictures with it. Not only do they look awesome, but their cocktails are the best cocktails we’ve ever had and the staff was so nice and professional. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about them. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Greg was amazing! From the moment we called Greg to see if he would be the right fit for our wedding, he blew us away. His professionalism, knowledge of the business, friendliness, and kindness won us over. Throughout the wedding process, Greg was just a text away for any questions we had with the bar service or for our wedding in general. He provided his recommendations for other vendors too, one which we used and loved. The cocktail tasting he does for each couple is so personable and was tailored to us. He even welcomed our parents to attend with open arms. Greg was one of the only vendors I didn’t feel I had to worry about. I trusted his judgement and the services he and his team provided were above and beyond what we could have imagined. I would book the Thirstyfilly a 100 more times if I could! We met Greg as a vendor and he left our wedding as a friend! Thank you so much for everything!

I booked the thirsty filly for all my bar services for our wedding and they did not disappoint!!! Greg is amazing to work with and made this step of wedding planning so easy and fun for us!!! When we got to pick out our signature drinks, we got to meet up with him at the thirsty filly trailer and Greg made all of his signature cocktails for us, which the only challenge we had was picking which signature drinks we wanted because WOW they were all absolutely AMAZING! After we figured out our drink menu, he sent us over a detailed list of the alcohol we would need. I am so impressed to say he was pretty much spot on! We did not run out of alcohol and we barely had any left over!!! That’s talent! For our wedding him and his bartenders where amazing, and all of our guest LOVED them! It was the most perfect magical night! Thank you thirsty filly for being apart of it!! CHEERS

Greg and his crew were amazing from the start. From the initial chat to the final day, it was absolutely perfect. The ability to have a taste testing and create our own special drinks was such a unique touch. All of our guests loved the whole experience and are still talking about it!

I cannot write a review that sufficiently praises The Thirsty Filly.
Overall: From the tasting to the ease of transactions to the actual night of our wedding, Gregory and his team delivered beyond our expectations. The bartenders were cordial and very competent mixologists; the mobile bar we requested, which was designed to look like a speakeasy, was even more impressive at the event than the tasting; the drinks themselves were great, and the service was fast.
The Drinks: I know that I already hit on this point, but the bartenders were fantastic. They moved swiftly without compromising quality, and everyone was very pleased with their exchanges. Of the approximately 12 drinks we tried at the tasting, we're happy with the three we chose -- but in case he changes up the menu, I don't want to set you up for reading about something that you cannot get.
The Bar Itself: Wow. We sat at it during the tasting, but nothing compares to it actually up and operating with the lights on at night. The energy is great, and there was more to the setup than we anticipated. They brought it the day before the wedding, which really alleviated a lot of anxiety.
Everyone has their own idea of what makes a great wedding/event and what they want: if you are looking for a unique, gorgeous, and valuable way to make your event stand out, use The Thirsty Filly.

There are not enough compliments to pay Greg and his team!! From the first initial call, to the cocktail tasting, and finally to our wedding, we could not have asked for anything better. Greg is extremely detail oriented and will think of everything you have forgotten! The drinks are so delicious (especially the blackberry bourbon and key lime pie cocktails)! I'm pretty sure every guest at our wedding told us how awesome the drinks were, how cool the setup was, and how great the bartenders were. There was never a big line, the drinks were delicious (and generous), and honestly the team is so nice, friendly, and talented. Greg really made it so easy, I knew I didn't need to worry one bit about the alcohol or bartending! They were even at our venue setting up long before we were! Just shows how much they care and are invested in their clients having a worry-free, amazing time! 10 out of 10, will recommend Thirsty Filly for life!
