FAQ'S
More About Our Services
DO YOU TRAVEL?
The Traveling Boho Bar LOVES to travel! We charge $1.25/km.
We are based out of Hamilton, Ontario and service all over Ontario!
DO YOU PROVIDE ALCOHOL?
Liquor laws in Canada don’t allow the sale of alcohol from a mobile vehicle . The person hosting the event is responsible for purchasing the alcohol. That's a WIN WIN for you and means no mark-up on alcohol so you save big. We will hook you up with a detailed alcohol guide to take the guess work out, so we got you!
DO WE NEED A SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT?
If you are hosting your event on private property, most municipalties do not require an SOP. If you’re working in a public space, you’ll simply need to get a Special Occasion Permit from the AGCO [link].
ARE YOU INSURED?
Absolutely! We carry general liability insurance, and each of our bartenders are smart serve certified.
WHAT ARE YOUR POWER REQUIREMENTS?
We need a standard 120V Plug in outlet and a 15 AMP circuit to operate both the boho caravan and the mobile tap bar. Put us in touch with your venue or planner and we will make it work! We can also offer at 2000 watt generator if need be.
CAN I BRAND OR CUSTOMIZE THE BAR?
YES! Our mobile bars are completely customizable for brand activation from trade shows to golf tournaments. We also help increase brand exposure by encouraging your guests to share their photos – turning them into instant brand ambassadors.
CAN YOU FIT INDOORS?
Our boho tap bar is 13ft x 8ft and can fit into most spaced if there is a big enough opening. We have even been able to park the Boho Caravan through barn doors If you get us in contact with your venue we can confirm measurements for any space!
DO I HAVE TO USE YOUR BARTENDERS?
No, we have created our rentals to customize for any budget or vision and you won't hurt our feelings if you work with a caterer for your event. They are more than welcome to staff and stock the bar truck rental. Remember, when you rent our mobile bars, you are responsible for any damage, so make sure you are comfortable with the caterer and their staff.
IS GRATUITY INCLUDED?
A service fee of 18% will be added to your final invoice when staffing services are required for your event, including bartenders, baristas, servers, support staff, and logistics/setup team. Executing an event requires a full team, and this service fee ensures that gratuity is shared fairly between both the staff at your event and the support team working behind the scenes.
You or your guests may provide additional cash gratuities to the staff at your event to reward excellent service. These additional gratuities are not shared with support staff behind the scenes and do not affect the 18% service fee applied to your invoice.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I NEED TO CHANGE MY DATE?
We know emergencies happen so we are happy to work with you to change the date if the new date is available. A re-booking fee may apply if your date is pushed into the next year. The re-booking fee will be waived if your event is cancelled due to covid regulations.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
We have been through it all...rain, snow, and even a tornado! We are always ready for any event no matter the circumstances. We always advise clients to be well prepared with tents but we will always work with you, the venue or the coordinator to make sure you and your guests are able to enjoy the bar, even if that means providing umbrellas or setting up a second bar somewhere out of the rain. Don't worry though we will make sure the drinks are flowing!
HOW DO I SECURE MY DATE?
We require a non-refundable $500 to reserve your date. This will be deducted from your full balance. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your event date.
