About this vendor
Say hello to the Whiskey Wagon!
A whiskey-centric, cocktail slangin' mobile bar featuring a rockstar lineup of experienced bartenders and an extensive selection of rare and unique spirits pulled from five distinguished establishments located in Portland, OR—The Old Gold, Paydirt, Tough Luck, Hi-Top Tavern, and Holy Ghost.
Over the last several years, we have had the pleasure of working a wide variety of events. Past events include backyard get-togethers, large weddings, block parties, and holiday parties. We also work closely with Cycle Oregon each year, following them around the state while 100s of cyclists ride by day and camp (drink!) by night.
What makes us unique?
- A saloon on wheels!
- A lengthy roster of highly qualified bartenders knowledgeable in spirits, craft cocktails, beer, and wine
- An impressive variety of high-quality spirits from across the board-- whisk(e)y, handcrafted gin and vodka, a plethora of unique agave spirits, rare liqueurs, and much, much more!
- Our vast selection of hand-selected spirits available only at our bars including but not limited to:
Stagg Bourbon Single Barrel Barrel Proof Select
Old Forester Bourbon Single Barrel Select 100 Proof
Banhez Espadin Mezcal Private Label
Highly allocated whiskeys: Old Fitzgerald, Yamazaki 18, Weller, and many more!
We also enjoy holding private menu tastings to co-create custom cocktails with the hosts and brainstorm fun names.

I wish I could give a better review for this vendor. Leading up to the event, everything seemed great—the pricing was reasonable, and the owner was kind. Although responses to emails took a bit of time, they always replied eventually, which wasn’t a major issue.
However, the week before the wedding, things started to go downhill. I had a lengthy email thread with the owner detailing everything—cocktails we wanted, payment arrangements, whether it was an open bar, and more. Despite this, I kept having to repeat myself, which added unnecessary stress leading up to the big day.
On the day of the wedding, they arrived about 45 minutes late. My friends had to call several of their bar locations, but no one could get in touch with the owner. Eventually, a friend found them sitting in their truck in the parking lot. They claimed they weren’t sure if they could drive down to the venue, which was frustrating.
Additionally, the Whiskey Wagon itself is no longer in service (I was aware of this early on but wanted to note it here). Instead, it was a basic bar stand. While the bartenders were friendly, they lacked knowledge of some common drinks, and to top it off, they left all their trash behind instead of using the trash bins provided at the venue. They were also dressed incredibly casually which I thought was odd for such an event.
Wow! The wagon was a last-minute idea for us and we are so happy we were able to snag it for our wedding last summer. Their collection of spirits offers something for everyone and the hospitable bartenders went above and beyond. We also enjoyed collaborating on the cocktail menu with the bar team. Needless to say, the wagon was a total hit and stole the show. Thank you again to the team for making it happen for our special day!
We hired the Whiskey Wagon for our wedding and it was a delight. Well-priced options, professional bartenders (from our favorite bar in town), and a dizzying array of cocktail and drink options.
