cHEERS!
Our story
Based in Ukiah and serving the greater Mendocino and Sonoma County area, We’re Nick and MJ—a mother-son team of seasoned hospitality professionals. We didn't just stumble into the bar business; we built North Coast Bartenders to bring a level of polish and expertise to local events that usually requires a trip to the city.
What We Bring to the Party
We believe a great bar is more than just a place to get a drink—it’s the heartbeat of the event. We specialize in "farm-to-glass" service, meaning we prioritize fresh, local ingredients from across Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.
The Expertise: Between us, we have decades of experience navigating the fast-paced world of high-end hospitality. Whether it's a 150-person wedding in Westport or an intimate gathering in Mendocino, we know how to keep the line moving without sacrificing the quality of the cocktail.
The Logistics: We take the guesswork out of the "dry hire" model. From providing a customized alcohol shopping list to managing the setup and cleanup, we handle the "liquid logistics" so you can actually be a guest at your own party.
Our Promise
We are licensed, insured, and committed to a standard of service that feels personal because it is. When you hire us, you’re getting more than just staff; you’re getting a dedicated team that cares about your celebration as much as you do.
What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
Vibe is on point!
“If You’re looking for a bartending crew that actually knows their stuff, North Coast Bartenders is the way to go. I recently had them out for an event, and they absolutely crushed it. They were easily the highlight of the night. If you want bartenders that bring great energy and even better drinks, definitely give them a shout.”
