How it works
You bring the bottles.
We bring the night.
Three steps. No guesswork. Your night, handled.
Pour your wishlist
Submit a quote and we'll hop on a one-on-one call to walk through the details — your venue, the bar setup, capacity, guest count, and drink preferences. Open bar? Signature cocktails? Beer and wine? Once we're aligned, we build a tailored shopping list so you buy exactly what you need at retail.

We roll up loaded
The custom-built bar arrives fully stocked — professional bartenders, glassware, ice, bitters, mixers, garnishes, the works. Setup runs 1 to 1.5 hours. Your venue just needs a standard outlet and a parking spot.
Raise a glass
Service runs all night. Your guests get craft cocktails from bartenders who know how to work a crowd. When the last guest heads out, we break down, clean up, and leave you with a memory — not a mess.
Meet the bar
Built by hand.
Two setups. Same craft. Scaled to whatever room you're filling.
The flagship
A bar with presence.
Our full-scale bar trailer — the one that turns heads the second it rolls in. Solid wood, real fixtures, thoughtful details, and the kind of craftsmanship that turns the bar into the conversation of the night.

The satellite
Small rooms, big nights.
A scaled-down bar for the nights that don't need a trailer. Dinner parties, bridal showers, rooftops, tight venues — same craft, smaller footprint. Also pairs with the flagship as a second station at bigger events.

Who we serve
For every
occasion.
Weddings, corporate events, birthdays, anniversaries — anywhere in Columbus and surrounding areas.
Weddings
For the night you'll replay forever.
Cocktail hour, reception, after-party — a bar that matches the gravity of the day.
Corporate
When the brand is on the line.
Client entertainment, team celebrations, milestones. A bar people remember, for the right reasons.
Birthdays
The milestones that deserve more.
Thirtieths, fiftieths, sixtieths. Backyard or ballroom, we bring the celebration.
Anniversaries
Quiet moments, done right.
Intimate gatherings, vow renewals, milestones shared. A bar that matches the tone of the room.
The experience
We don't rent out a bar.
We build the night people talk about for weeks.
Craft cocktails. Real bartenders. A bar that earns a second look. Everything your guests won't stop talking about — delivered, set up, and handled.
Selected work
In action.
Dry-hire means you supply the alcohol and we supply everything else — the trailer, the bartenders, the glassware, the ice, and the mixers. You control what's served, we handle the service. It's transparent, affordable, and puts you in charge.
You buy alcohol at retail prices instead of paying venue markups of 300–400%. No per-drink minimums. No hidden fees. You pay for the service, not inflated bottle prices — and whatever's left over goes home with you.
A good rule is one drink per person per hour. For a four-hour wedding with fifty guests, plan for two hundred drinks. We'll help you calculate based on your guest count, event type, and drink preferences.
Yes. Heavy Pour carries one million dollars in liquor liability insurance. Your venue will have proof of coverage before we arrive. We're fully licensed and compliant for events throughout central Ohio.
The flagship trailer fits barns, backyards, lawns, event halls, and most outdoor or drive-accessible venues in Columbus and surrounding areas — anywhere a 28-foot trailer can park. For rooftops, downtown spaces, or venues that can't accommodate the trailer, our satellite bar steps in with the same craft in a smaller footprint. We'll confirm fit when you request a quote.
Weekend dates book quickly, especially May through October. We recommend reaching out at least 8–12 weeks in advance. For peak wedding season, 6 months or more is ideal.
