About Town Bartending is the brainchild of Travis Crivaro and Guy Scharff. Both in the restaurant and bartending industry for over ten years, they realized a unique niche needed to be filled for a licensed mobile bartending service for parties and events.

The problem was where to find quality temporary bartending services for parties and events. Licensed, quality mobile alcohol and bartending services simply did not exist.

"When you host a party, the last thing you want to worry about is mixing drinks for people – especially parties of over 100 people or more." Says Guy Scharff, one of the company’s co-founders. "The host should be mingling – not mixing. Buying the correct type and amounts of liquor can be nerve racking. Unless you’re a very experienced bartender, how on earth do you know what the majority of people like to drink, much less how to mix it for them, and in what quantities?"

My biggest problem would be the types of glasses to use… plastic or glass, tall or small, champagne, wine, or shot? Being a non-drinker, this would be literally impossible for me to figure out. I’d rather leave it to an expert… but where would I find one?

TRAVIS: 32 years
