Build the Ultimate Mobile Bar: Kegs to Cocktails

When it comes to planning an unforgettable event, the bar isn’t just a place to grab a drink, it’s the heart of the celebration. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, a milestone birthday, a corporate gathering, or a community festival, customizing your mobile bar experience ensures your guests feel welcomed, impressed, and ready to raise a glass.

At Lowcountry Taps, we believe no two events should look (or taste) the same. That’s why our tap trucks, vintage mobile bars, and self-serve photo booths are designed to bring your unique vision to life. From fresh local kegs to signature cocktails, here’s how you can build a mobile bar experience that’s as memorable as your occasion.


Start with the Right Foundation: Tap Truck or Bar Setup

Your first decision is what kind of mobile bar setup fits your space, style, and guest list. Lowcountry Taps offers a fleet of fully restored vintage trucks, trailers, and standalone bar installations.

  • Tap Trucks: These are perfect if you want that wow factor. Picture your guests stepping up to our 1950s Chevy, the classic 1949 Ford, or the tiny-but-mighty 1960 Cushman Truckster. Each vintage tap truck is a showstopper and a natural hub for mingling.
  • Standalone Bars: If your venue has limited outdoor space or requires an indoor setup, our bars can be set up without the truck. You still get professional taps and bartending service without compromising on style.
  • Photo Booth Pairing: Combine your bar with a self-serve photo booth for an extra dose of entertainment. Your guests can sip, smile, and snap all night long.

Choosing the right setup sets the tone. Think about your guest count, layout, and whether you prefer a casual backyard vibe or a polished lounge feel.


Curate Your Keg Selection

One of the most exciting parts of customizing your mobile bar is choosing what flows from the taps. Lowcountry Taps makes it easy to select kegs that suit your taste and budget.

  • Craft Beer:From hoppy IPAs to crisp lagers, craft beer remains a crowd-pleaser. We can help you feature local breweries and regional favorites like Damn Yankee IPA from Southern Barrel Brewing.
  • Ciders & Seltzers: For guests who prefer something light and refreshing, ciders and hard seltzers are great additions.
  • Wine on Tap: Did you know you can serve wine from the tap? Draft wine keeps each pour fresh and consistent, making it perfect for weddings and corporate events.
  • Non-Alcoholic Options: For a fully inclusive experience, consider kegs of sweet tea, fresh lemonade, cold brew coffee, or sparkling water. Everyone deserves something special in their glass.

If you aren’t sure which beverages will best suit your crowd, our team can recommend a balanced selection that pairs perfectly with your menu and season.


Elevate the Experience with Signature Cocktails

Kegs aren’t the only way to delight your guests. Custom cocktails add a personal touch and showcase your event theme or story.

With Lowcountry Taps, you can create a signature drink menu that reflects your personality. For example:

  • His & Hers Cocktails: Feature two favorites — maybe an Old Fashioned and a French 75 — for wedding celebrations.
  • Seasonal Sips: Offer a watermelon mint spritz in the summer or a spiced pear mule in the fall.
  • Branded Beverages: For corporate events, we can even design cocktails that incorporate your brand colors or logo.

If you’d rather keep things simple, we also offer a menu of tried-and-true classics and pre-batched cocktails. No need to compromise quality for convenience, every drink is prepared with care.


Don’t Forget the Details: Glassware, Décor & Displays

The way your bar looks matters just as much as what it serves. While we keep our setup clean and classic, there are plenty of ways to make it feel personal to your event.

  • Glassware: Our service includes sturdy, professional-grade cups, but if you’d like to provide your own glassware or specialty drinkware, we’re happy to use it.
  • Décor: We maintain a simple, polished look for our trucks and bars. If you’d like to add décor nearby, such as floral arrangements or signage, you’re welcome to coordinate that with your planner or venue.
  • Menu Board: We display a clear, professional menu board listing what’s on tap so guests can see their options at a glance.

Let us know what you have in mind, and we’ll work with you to create a setup that feels authentic to your event.


Ensure a Seamless Service

A mobile bar isn’t just about drinks, it’s about creating a smooth, professional guest experience. Lowcountry Taps is a fully licensed and insured business, so you can rest easy knowing all the details are handled responsibly.

Our trained bartenders bring not only expertise but also friendly energy that sets the tone for your event. They’ll keep the bar running smoothly, maintain a tidy setup, and help everyone have a great time from the first toast to the last pour.


Add Extra Fun: Pair with a Photo Booth

One of our most popular add-ons is the self-serve digital photo booth. When you pair it with your bar service, you create a natural flow of entertainment. Guests can grab a drink, snap a photo, and get right back to the dance floor.

  • Unlimited Sessions: Everyone gets a chance to strike a pose.

  • End-of-Night Delivery: Digital galleries are sent to you after the event so you can relive all the fun.

Our self-serve photo booth is easy for guests to use and always a hit. It’s one more way to make your event feel cohesive and memorable.
