What is a Dry Hire Bar?

In Ohio, mobile bar services like Twist of Fate operate as a dry hire bar. That means we provide the bar setup, professional bartenders, equipment, and service—but you supply the alcohol.

Ohio liquor laws require alcohol to be purchased by the event host or venue, not the mobile bar. This gives you more control, flexibility, and often saves money.

• Custom bar setups (including Maeve, our mobile tap bar)
• Licensed, insured, professional bartenders
• Cups, ice, napkins, garnishes (as outlined in your package)
• Beverage planning support and quantity guidance
• Setup, service, and teardown

• Beer, wine, spirits, or seltzers purchased through approved retailers or distributors

We handle the batching, prep, and logistics, and simply add alcohol on location in compliance with Ohio law.

A fully customized, legally compliant bar service that feels effortless, elevated, and unforgettable.
