Our Craft
Let’s not resign ourselves to sub-par social experiences! We can facilitate any event you can dream up with only the flourish that a proper bartender can. We don’t do tricks. We don’t throw bottles in the air. We make classic drinks the right way: with quality ingredients and a lack of pretension. And we always enjoy getting creative with something new. Sometimes it’s as simple as making sure you have a skilled professional bartender for hire to anchor your event. Sometimes you may need a custom infusion or a custom specialty cocktail list. Whatever you may need, Blue Book Barkeeps is here to take the burden of planning off your hands so you can sit back and enjoy your one of a kind event.
We provide private bartending services for
Private Events
Do you already have a home bar? Great! We will bring it to life. If you don’t, we’ll use what your home has to offer or even bring our own mobile bar, fully stocked with libations and staffed with a true professional New Orleans bartender for hire.
Charity Galas
Our extensive experience in the non-profit sector means we can maximize your fundraising. Bar sales are often the biggest revenue drivers at an event. Bring in the best to help further your cause. We’re also there to make your patrons feel like the VIP’s that they are.
Carnival Krewes
Would you like a hand-crafted specialty cocktail to liven up your den party and get your krewe in the Carnival spirit? Do you want a mobile bar rolled up to your table at the Zulu Ball staffed with a career bartender for hire? We treat you like true Mardi Gras royalty.
Weddings
Our bar catering and wedding services are second to none in the Greater New Orleans area. We will be with you through the whole process to alleviate the stress and take one of the most important aspects of any occasion off your to-do list.
Corporate Events
Whether you are a Destination Management Company hosting out of town corporate guests or a local group trying to do your office holiday party with a flourish this year, our mixologists behind our mobile bar will elevate any corporate event large or small.
Brand & Promo Events
In the spirits industry, your bartenders are your front line salespeople. We specialize in non-premise promotional events because we understand how our image, confidence and composure reflects on your brand. Your guests will leave more informed and wanting more.
