Will the beer stay cold?

Yes! We include keg koozies and a jockey box to keep your beer cold for up to 8 hours. For longer events, just add more ice to both the koozies and the jockey box.

Where can I place the bar?

Anywhere on private property with a flat, level surface, indoors or outdoors. Just make sure you have permission from the property owner.

If you're on private property, you just need the owner's permission. For public or non-private venues, check with the venue to determine if a permit is required.

Can guests pour their own drink?

Absolutely! That’s what the bar is made for! Our easy-pour taps reduce foam and are guest-friendly. Just confirm with your venue that self-service is allowed and doesn’t require licensed bartenders.

How many kegs do I need?

We’ll help you figure it out, but here are some quick guidelines: Estimate 1–1.5 pints per person per hour For 50 beer-drinking guests at a 4-hour event with heavier consumption (1.5–2 beers/hour), you’d need 300–400 pints which would be about 3 half-barrel kegs. Keg Sizes: Half-Barrel: ~124 pints Quarter-Barrel: ~62 pints Sixth-Barrel: ~41 pints

Does the bar leave any marks?

Only minimal. Like flattened grass. Nothing permanent or damaging, and far less than a vehicle or trailer would leave behind.

How much does it weigh?

Heaviest bar component: 50 lbs Full keg weights: Half-barrel: ~162 lbs Quarter-barrel: ~88 lbs Sixth-barrel: ~58 lbs

Can the bar fit in my car?

Yes! It fits in most SUVs with seats folded down. Examples: Jeep Wrangler, Volvo XC60. Packed dimensions: L: 61” | W: 37” | H: 45”Most accessories also fit in the trunk or front seats.

Is it hard to set up?

Not at all. Setup takes about 30 minutes with a wrench. We include simple instructions. The trickiest part is setting the CO₂, but our guide makes it easy.

Yes! As long as it comes in a keg, you're good to go. A wine keg holds about 26 bottles of wine, and there are plenty of great options available. And don’t worry, your wine won’t get carbonated.

What other drinks can I serve?

Margaritas, Mojitos, Mules, Palomas, pretty much anything that comes in a keg!Check out The keg King for examples of pre-mixed cocktails you can use.
