Here today, there tomorrow - mobile cocktail bars on wheels are revolutionising the event landscape. What once seemed impossible is becoming the new normal: premium cocktails at any location, set up in 30 minutes, served to perfection.
The nomads of gastronomy are conquering Germany.
The new freedom of event planning
Just imagine: A wedding in the forest, perfect cocktails included. A company event on the company premises, bar quality like in a luxury hotel. A birthday in your own garden, drinks like in the Caribbean.
Mobile cocktail bars make this possible. No more dependence on existing infrastructure, no compromises when choosing a location.
Revolution of event possibilities: - Industrial halls become elegant ballrooms - Beaches are transformed into premium lounges
- Mountain peak get five-star service - Company parks become festival locations
The boundaries between possible and impossible are becoming blurred.
Business model on wheels
A clever restaurateur recognised the potential early on. His idea: why bring guests to the bar when the bar can come to the guests?
His mobile business concept:
- Basic equipment: Fully automatic cocktail machine in a trailer
- Setup time: 30 minutes at any location
- Capacity: 500 cocktails per hour
- Field of application: 200km radius around the home location
The result after one year:
- 147 events served
- Utilisation: 85%
- Turnover per event: 2,400 euros on average
- Profit margin: 62%
His comment: "The best investment of my life. I bring premium service where it has never been before."
Technology makes it possible
What distinguishes modern mobile bars from improvised drinks stands? Highly developed technology in a compact form.
Technical masterpiece on 8 square metres:
Energy supply:
- Self-sufficient power supply for 12 hours
- Solar integration for sustainable operation
- Backup systems for critical components
Cooling and storage systems:
- Professional cooling for 500+ cocktails
- Temperature monitoring via app
- Hygienic storage of all ingredients
Automated cocktail preparation:
- 40+ different recipes available
- 4-second preparation time per drink
- Consistent quality regardless of location
The boom in flexible events
Mobile bars enable completely new event formats:
Pop-up cocktail bars in city centres Vacant spaces become cocktail hotspots overnight. Set up in the morning, event in the evening, everything is gone the next morning.
Rooftop parties without fixed installation Rooftops and terraces without bar infrastructure become premium locations. The mobile bar comes with everything you need.
Outdoor weddings at dream locations Castle parks, vineyards, lakeshores - wherever fixed bars are impossible, mobile systems create a luxurious atmosphere.
Corporate events with the wow factor Mobile premium bars add an unforgettable touch to product presentations and corporate events.
The economic logic is convincing

Aspect | Fixed bar | Mobile bar |
---|---|---|
Location flexibility | Zero | Unlimited |
Setup costs per event | 0€ | 800€ |
Potential new customers | Limited | Exponential |
Seasonal restrictions | High | Low |
